Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Deradoorian (Decisive Pink, Dirty Projectors) is out with a new album, Ready For Heaven, set for release on May 9th via Fire Records, which we celebrate with this May 10th concert. Brooklyn's Time Wharp opens the night.

‘Ready for Heaven’ deals with heaven and earth, damnation and salvation, and using intelligence against rampant, naked greed. It is a classic forty minute set of inquisitive pop songs, blessed with a lightness of touch and a sharp focus that can’t help but charm the listener. It conjures up some last, faint afterglow of the old belief that an electronic, programmed beat can smash itself - and you - into another, more egalitarian consciousness. – NY Times

Deradoorian is known for making inventive and intelligent pop music... Like the skilled tailor who makes dazzling creations from snippets on the cutting room floor, Deradoorian has a rare knack of re-equipping sounds from pop music’s past to find a suitable home in the modern world. The rumbling, dubby bassline that underpins and constructs the song is reminiscent of Dead Kennedys and encourages a sleazy-sounding sax, crystalline key stabs and jagged guitar lines to streak across the cavernous spaces carved out for them.
