The Werks are currently on the road with reggae-fusion band Passafire for a tour that’s been dubbed the Firewerks Tour. Last week, they stopped at The Broadberry in Richmond, VA, when Passafire vocalist Ted Bowne joined The Werks for a chilling version of “Mad World,” which you can listen to below. The collaborations are expected to continue tonight when The Firewerks Tour will stop at renowned NYC venue, Brooklyn’s The Knitting Factory.Both bands have a long-running history of putting on stellar shows, which have earned each devout fan bases. Ever since forming in Savannah, Georgia, in 2003, Passafire has been on the road, owning the reggae scene with their patented blend of hard rock, hip hop, progressive rock, and, of course, reggae. This unique mix of genres helped the band differentiate themselves from the pack, attracting fans from outside of the reggae world with their alternative sound and lights-out live show.Similarly, The Werks have been on a tear this summer, crisscrossing the country and bringing their live shows to their ardent fan base at a number of summer festivals. This year, the group also brought back their own annual Ohio throwdown—The Werkout—which seems to grow in a new direction each and every year, and also delivered two electric, packed-to-capacity Phish Baker’s Dozen late-nights at American Beauty. Now, The Werks return to New York for another high-octane performance in New York City, crossing the East River to hit The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood.Listen to the live “Mad World” collaboration below, and get ready for a good time tonight:We are so excited for these two powerhouse bands to bring this special tour to Brooklyn.

On Friday night, drummer Adam Deitch, keyboardist Borahm Lee, and turntablist Chris Karns came together for a late-night collaborative set at Denver’s Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. Taking the stage around 1:45 a.m. following a high-octane performance by The Party People, the trio wowed the crowd with their improvisational take on EDM laced with drums and keys. Deitch and Lee regularly come together as the electronic duo, Break Science, though all three musicians are frequent collaborators—Lee and Karns also regularly tour together as members of Pretty Lights Live.Deitch, Lee, and Karn’s Friday night performance came on the heels of a much-buzzed-about set at Wave Spell Live earlier in August, the inaugural music festival hosted by STS9 in Belden Town, California. During the festival set, Karns joined Break Science along with Josh Fairman from SunSquabi, making for a collaborative experience that merged the best aspects of the electronic and live music genres. You can check out video from Deitch, Lee, and Karns’ late-night set at Cervantes’ in Denver below. read more
