From Rootwire
“There’s a weekend in August that we think about all year and that means the world to us. It is our ever-evolving intelligent love-scape – the magical place we call Rootwire – that honors the music and art that is inspires us to do what we do and be who we want to be. Nestled in the archaic hills of southeast Ohio, Rootwire has quickly become the quintessential multidimensional art affair of the mideast, featuring live music and visual art from across the country and beyond.
We are elated today to announce the first round of artist announcements to you and once again embark on the journey to Kaeppner’s Woods for another weekend to remember. This year’s line-up is the most biodiverse to date and we have much more to come – so stay tuned. Inspired by all the things in this world that help us connect – we thank you for your love and support and enthusiasm for this collective quest.”
See you in the woods!

From Pulse Films Ltd.
“On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and TIME magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.” SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace Pulse Films © 2012″
