Regina Spektor Plus special guest Only Son

Event On Sale: Sat, Apr 28 10:00 AM

In support of her upcoming release, What we Saw From The Cheap Seats, on Sire/Warner Bros. Records (in stores on May 29), Regina Spektor will perform at The Greek Theatre, LA on August 14 with special guest Only Son.

The much-anticipated new studio album reunites Spektor with production partner Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Dr. Dre) and is her first album of new material since 2009's far. What we Saw From The Cheap Seats was launched with the first listen track "All The Rowboats" and followed with the single "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)". The album digital deluxe pre-order and the videofor "All The Rowboats" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CZ8ossU4pc) are available now. Spektor also just released an exclusive 7" of two Russian cover songs, "The Prayer Of Fran�ois Villon (Molitva)" and "Old Jacket (Stariy Pidjak)," for Record Store Dayon April 21.

Of working with Spektor, Elizondo says "Regina Spektor is that rare artist that continues to surprise. Just when you think you have her figured out, she knocks you out with something completely different. It's that spirit that drives this record. Each song takes you on a journey that only Regina is capable of providing. She has truly outdone herself."

Spektor studied classical piano and garnered a loyal live following in New York before self- releasing two albums. Her breakthrough album Soviet Kitsch was released by Sire Records in 2004 followed by Begin to Hope in 2006. The album included worldwide fan favorites "Fidelity," "Samson," "On The Radio" and "Better" and is certified gold in the U.S. Spektor followed up with far (2009) and Live from London (2010), which was recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo Theater during the far tour.

Only Son is the music of NYC-based songwriter Jack Dishel (former lead guitarist for The Moldy Peaches.) Only Son's sophomore record, Searchlight, is an expansive, diverse collection of songs; much like a late Beatles album, each song fleshes out a different side of his musical sensibilities. �Searchlight features standout tracks like "Magic" and "It's a Boy" as well as guest appearances by Regina Spektor and members of The Strokes and Of Montreal. �It was co-produced with Dishel's lifelong friend Eddie "Pull" Frente of the band kHz.
