Rebel Bakes

Marrying stage ‘drama’ and chamber ‘concert’, this début album from Les Surprises draws on 18th century French opera. Exploring a dynamic repertoire variously familiar and forgotten, bringing theatre into the salon, these enlightened, intimate arrangements will astonish, inspire and surprise.

Baby 81 is an album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It is their fourth studio album and was released on April 30, 2007 in Europe and on May 1, 2007 in the U.S.. The album features a harder, more raw sound compared with their previous record Howl. It was also a studio comeback for drummer Nick Jago who was unable to participate during the recordings of Howl (other than the last track recorded during the sessions, 'Promise'). A DualDisc edition of the album was set to be released on May 1 in the U.S.; however, it has since been canceled. The album debuted at number 46 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 14,000 copies in its first week.

Having been joined by drummer Leah Shapiro of The Raveonettes, San Francisco rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club follow-up to 2008's instrumental and experimental record 'The Effects Of 333'. Returning to the melodic country gospel of 'Howl' (2005), while also referring heavily to their self-titled2001 debut's hard-hitting sound, 'Beat The Devil's Tattoo' is a powerful record full of fuzzy bass and guitar swagger. Peter Hayes and Robert Been sound as determined and relentless as ever.
