JAY MALINOWSKI (BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH) - MARCH 6 - THE RIVOLI

REMG Entertainment is proud to present Jay Malinowski live in concert at The Rivoli on Saturday, March 6, 2010.

Bright Lights and Bruises, is Jay Malinowski’s first foray into the solo world outside of the cozy confines of his popular Canadian band Bedouin Soundclash. The self-produced acoustic-based album, shows off a different side of the artist -- quieter, deeply personal and incredibly contemplative.

Malinowski and songwriting partner Eon Sinclair formed Bedouin Soundclash eight years ago and set about conquering the music world with their fan-friendly blend of ebullient ska, pop, punk and soul. The band has produced three albums, a handful of hit singles, collected numerous awards and nominations, and shared the stage with such acts as No Doubt, Ben Harper, Coldplay and Nine Inch Nails.

With the constant touring and rock star trappings taking their toll on the band, both personally and professionally, Malinowski began writing, with the encouragement of Sinclair, putting into song everything he was dealing with.

Recorded in his hometown of Vancouver, at Armoury Studios -- the studio of late family friend and legendary producer Bruce Fairbairn, who inspired Bedouin fan favourite “Santa Monica”. And, aside from some assistance from his pals in Hot Hot Heat, the album is an entirely self-reliant affair, with the artist providing all of the vocals and somewhat sparse instrumentation.

The result is a stunning and remarkably stirring collection of material that shows someone who's as much in touch with his feelings as he is with the craft of songwriting, and someone who's willing to take chances and lay it all on the line.
