Chaparelle bring their buzzy brand of ‘Western Pleasure' to Mass.

Advertisement 'There were maybe 400 people at our little tent at Newport,' he said. 'Everywhere we'd go it was like: Where do these people come from? We don't have any music out. It kind of shows that internet metrics and all that stuff doesn't accurately portray what the public feels about a band.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Woods and Day are romantic partners as well as musical ones, and both relationships came about more or less simultaneously. Each had an established solo career, and it was one of Woods's records that brought them together. 'He came out with a record in 2021 called 'Wimberley,'' Day recalled. 'I was on tour at the time. I remember being in the tour van and we had 'Wimberley' on and everyone was like, 'Man, you and that Jesse Woods would sound really good singing together.'' Advertisement So she reached out to him to gauge his interest in collaborating: 'I had no idea what his background was, where he lived, if he was alive or dead,' Day said. They managed to connect and decided to get together for a writing session, which produced some 'weird experimental music,' Woods said. But it also sparked their relationship; as Day put it, 'That first writing session was the origin story for our love story.' Serious talk about collaborating came a few months later. 'That's when we started talking a lot about blood harmony and country music and George [Jones] and Tammy [Wynette] and Gram [Parsons] and Emmylou [Harris] and started to just listen to a lot of that music together,' Woods said. With Chaparelle's direction established, the pair invited producer and multi-instrumentalist Beau Bedford to join the collaboration, intending to add a third voice to the proceedings — what Woods calls a 'tiebreaker.' It was hard to write music as a couple, explained Day. 'It's deeply personal; it was also very early on in our relationship,' she said. 'You're trying to lay the groundwork of a relationship, how you communicate to one another, then you add in the music and the creative element. It's just a very vulnerable environment to put yourself in.' With Bedford on board, the three wrote half of what would become their debut record in four days. 'That first week, we just really knew we were onto something,' Woods recalled. They started booking a few dates so they could try out the songs live and see what the dynamic of the three of them playing with a rhythm section would be like. The response to those shows was great, Woods said, even though he noted that people weren't sure exactly what Chaparelle was. Advertisement 'Is this a duet? Is this a three-piece band? Is this a band? Is Zella the lead? And we were like, 'We don't need to make that decision,'' he said. From the beginning, added Woods, their intent was to put on a show, and their live appearances demonstrate that in spades, particularly in the interplay between the pair — Woods manning the stage like a tall drink of water, Day prowling around him, oozing sexuality. 'Zella has this superpower on stage,' her partner observes. 'A lot of Western music or Americana music is very shoegaze-y. We want to get people moving, we want to just give it on stage.' When they went into the recording studio to make their debut record — 'Western Pleasure,' which came out this spring — they were going for what Woods labelled a classic sound with modern fidelity. As Day put it, 'we're just trying to make classic American music that, yes, is rooted in country, but also a little bit of everything.' For all that, 'Western Pleasures' certainly represents as country; that 'classic sound with modern fidelity,' as well as its genre fluidity, reminds at times of what the Mavericks have so famously accomplished with their music. The record's lone cover, a smoldering, Phil Spector-esque reinvention of Whitney Houston's ' Advertisement Said Day, 'I think that's the attitude, you know? We really did distill what our characters are on this album and how we were going to speak to each other and about each other, and for it to never be too serious, always a little longing, maybe sometimes a little funny, a little tongue in cheek, but rooted in poetry.'

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to Host Barbara Kruger's ‘Another Day. Another Night' Exhibition

Summary TheGuggenheim Museum Bilbaowill presentAnother day. Another night, the first comprehensive survey in Spain of influential American artistBarbara Kruger's work. Since the beginning of her career, Kruger has consistently challenged the function of language in media, politics and internal dialogues. Using bold, declarative phrases rendered in stark black-and-white text, often punctuated with red or green accents, she draws from the visual language of advertising to provoke reflection rather than sell products. Iconic phrases such as 'Your body is a battleground' and 'I shop therefore I am' have become part of the cultural lexicon, prompting critical questions about gender, consumerism, and authority. The exhibition will bring together a diverse range of works spanning Kruger's career, including early paste-ups, large-scale vinyl texts, video installations, audio interventions and site-specific pieces created specifically for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. As visitors move through the exhibition halls, Kruger's art will unfold across floors, walls and screens, immersing them in a charged visual and sonic environment. The exhibition will showcase a wide-ranging selection of Kruger's works, including early paste-ups, monumental vinyl texts, immersive video installations, audio interventions and new site-specific pieces conceived for the Guggenheim Bilbao. Spanning multiple media and decades, the exhibition transforms the museum's spaces – its floors, walls and screens – into an all-encompassing visual and sonic landscape. 'Language is a powerful force — and it defines us,' Kruger notes. In an age of nonstop information and destabilized truths, her work urges viewers to pause, scrutinize and reflect. Barbara Kruger'sAnother day. Another nightwill run from June 24 to November 9, 2025 at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

Blue Eye Samurai Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 14, 2025, 12:15 IST Blue Eye Samurai took the streaming world by storm with its stunning animation, gripping storyline, and complex characters when it debuted on Netflix in November 2023. The R-rated animated series, set in Edo-period Japan, follows Mizu, a mixed-race samurai voiced by Maya Erskine, on a bloody quest for revenge. After a critically acclaimed first season, Netflix swiftly greenlit Blue Eye Samurai Season 2, leaving fans eager for more. Here's everything we know so far about Season 2. Release Date Speculation for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 While Netflix confirmed the renewal of Blue Eye Samurai for Season 2 in December 2023, no official release date has been announced. Based on production timelines and statements from the creators, fans may need to exercise patience. The first season was greenlit in October 2020 and took three years to produce, partly due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. With production for Season 2 already underway, the timeline is expected to be slightly shorter, but high-quality animation remains time-intensive. Executive Producer Jane Wu and co-creators Michael Green and Amber Noizumi have hinted at a 2026 release window during interviews. Wu noted that the team is working on the first episode, with four of the six episodes already written. Given the complexity of the 2D/3D hybrid animation style, which aims to resemble a 'moving painting,' a 2026 premiere seems realistic. Some reports speculate a late 2025 release, but most evidence points to 2026 as the earliest likely date. Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 Expected Cast The voice cast for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 is expected to feature many returning stars from the first season. Here's a breakdown of the likely cast: Maya Erskine as Mizu : The titular blue-eyed samurai, a half-Japanese, half-white warrior disguised as a man, will continue her vengeance-driven journey. Erskine's performance has been a cornerstone of the series' success. Kenneth Branagh as Abijah Fowler : The Shogun-allied Irish smuggler, spared by Mizu in Season 1, is expected to return as a key antagonist. Masi Oka as Ringo : The loyal, optimistic cook and Mizu's companion is likely to continue his journey alongside her. Brenda Song as Princess Akemi : The strong-willed princess, whose arc intertwined with Mizu's in Season 1, is expected to return. Darren Barnet as Taigen : Mizu's rival-turned-uneasy ally, a proud samurai, is likely to feature prominently. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as The Swordmaker : Mizu's mentor figure is expected to return. Stephanie Hsu as Ise and Ming-Na Wen as Madame Kaji : Both supporting characters are likely to reprise their roles. Harry Shum Jr. as Takayoshi : Another key figure expected to return. Freddie Fox as Poet: A new character introduced for Season 2, though details about whether Poet is a friend or foe remain undisclosed. Plot Details for Blue Eye Samurai Season 2 The first season of Blue Eye Samurai ended with a major cliffhanger, setting the stage for a bold new direction in Season 2. Mizu, having confronted and spared Abijah Fowler, learns that her quest for revenge against the three remaining white men who could be her father leads her beyond Japan. The season finale sees Mizu embarking for London, marking a significant shift from the Edo-period Japan setting to Europe, likely England. This change promises to explore how Mizu navigates Western culture and whether her perceptions of Europeans as 'monsters' hold true. Season 2 will consist of six episodes, down from the eight in Season 1, but each episode will average around 44 minutes, ensuring substantial storytelling. The narrative will continue to focus on Mizu's quest for vengeance, with new challenges and enemies emerging as she pursues the remaining traffickers.
