In December 2013 Lettuce was finishing up what was by all accounts there most fruitful and successful year too date.  They were all gathered in their defacto hometown of  Brooklyn for a week long run at Brooklyn Bowl and their last show of the year at the Capitol Theater. 

Never ones to waste a moment, Lettuce took their time together in December in between shows to record two new original tracks, “Don’t Be Afraid To Try”, which features vocalist Alecia Chakour, and “Yakitori”.  “Don’t Be Afraid To Try” is sure to be a Lettuce staple for years to come, seamlessly blending the Lettuce sound with timeless R&B vocals.  Alecia is currently touring with the band and fitting in perfectly.  “Yakitori” is classic hard-tiiing instrumental Lettuce at its best.  This is the sound that fans have come to expect from the band and “Yakitori” shows that the direction of the bands sound is still pushing funk to new heights!

Lettuce is offering these two singles for FREE through their soundcloud and on limited edition 7 in vinyl.  You can pre-order the vinyl HERE.  The tracks are also up on iTunes now.

It was a special year for the Lettuce collective in which they played huge dates at Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, the Fillmores in Denver and San Francisco and made it to a ton of cities for the first time, always met by eager fans new and old.  Lettuce Spring tour starts tonight at the Roxy in LA and rolls on through April 6.  The band then will celebrate Jazzfest at their Annual Royal Family Ball before a monster schedule of high profile festival appearances.

Joe Russo's Almost Dead - Dancing In The Streets (live at the Cap)

A warm, somewhat instrumental journey through time, memory, and movement. This 12-track project blends jazz, soul, and boom-bap.

From the immediacy of Now to the hazy reflections of Rearview, each track sketches a moment in motion. Jungle Dreams, Downtown and The Antagonist pulse with life, while Echoes and Cracked Bell linger like distant thoughts.

It’s a soundtrack for quiet streets, open windows, and everything in between.

Tracklist:
1 - Intro Skit
2 - Now
3 - Later
4 - Skit
5 - Jungle Dreams
6 - Downtown
7 - The Antagonist
8 - Side B
9 - Echoes
10 - Cracked Bell
11 - Rearview
12 - Outro

Like You Mean It

Daptone Records' Rhythm Showcase

The Proposition

DESCRIPTION: With special guests Graham Nash and Rhoney Stanley, our dive into the Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead examines how a mishap with an estimated $50,000 worth of LSD led to both the writing of “Black Peter,” perhaps the Grateful Dead’s most somber song, and turned Jerry Garcia into a Crosby, Stills and Nash fan.

GUESTS: Rhoney Stanley, Graham Nash, Bob Matthews, Gary Lambert, Shaugn O’Donnell, Buzz Poole

Jerry Garcia Band -Expressway

Brooklyn, NY -- Lettuce releases the bonus track “Star Children,” previously only available on the rare Japanese version of their 2008 album Rage!. Because of the limited release, “Star Children” has only been heard by the most devoted Lettuce fans. Lettuce's Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff had this to say about the release:

“The track was named "Star Children" to pay tribute to some of the great Funkateers like Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins, and George Clinton. Neal Evans absolutely crushes the Modular Synthesizer. This is a free track from everyone here at Lettuce, so turn it up Loud, Blast Off, and Enjoy the Ride.”

Lettuce has enjoyed a booming Spring 2013, consisting of main stage plays at Buku, Summer Camp, & Purple Hatter’s Ball Music Festivals, as well as sold-out club plays in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Denver, New York City, and New Orleans (Annual Royal Family Ball). The band will continue to build momentum leading into an electrifying summer, highlighted by their return to the legendary Fuji Rock festival in Japan, as well its primetime slots at Electric Forest, All Good, and the Catskill Chill music festivals.
