Celebration on TV on the Radio, Friends Records and new album "Hello Paradise"
"I'm 38; I don't want to do that anymore. Unless someone pays me a lot of money and they want to make it super cushy, but that doesn't happen in rock 'n' roll."
That's Celebration's Katrina Ford talking about the long tours she and the band used to do while they were at label 4AD.
They broke with the label three years ago, and have spent that time working on a new album, "Hello Paradise," that they released in January through the low-key, local label Friends Records.
The quote comes from a profile of the band that appeared in Sunday's Sun magazine. The whole feature is here.
This picture, by Josh Sisk -who'll exhibit some of his work at Windup Space later this month - comes from Celebration's record release show in early March at 2640, where the profile begins.
Also in the story, a video of the band's three core members - Ford, Sean Antanaitis, David Bergander - performing a new song, "Don't Stop Dreaming."
Celebration's next show is April 8, when they'll open for TV on the Radio at Rams Head Live.
