AZP, Ego Death, Dojorok added to New Generation Music Festival

The New Generation Music Festival lineup is set, with the final few band announcements coming last week.

Lincoln’s AZP, Minneapolis grunge trio Ego Death and DJ Dojorok were among the festival’s last remaining reveals, bringing the total number of performers to 23. Omaha hard rock quintet Screaming For Silence will headline the Friday, Aug. 5 concert at Stinson Park.

The late-week announcement also included Omaha rock band Through The Stone, rap duo Troublesome Two, R&B singer Mola-B, DJ Skert Reynolds and pop band Clark & Company. Raleigh Science Project, the Marcey Yates-led organization throwing the first-year festival, has yet to announce local food vendors and other businesses that will populate the event.

Kait Berreckman in and out of “Control” in new video

Omaha singer/songwriter Kait Berreckman teased her forthcoming album Battle Scenes by releasing its first single, “Control,” and accompanying music video Saturday at a show at Reverb Lounge Saturday.

In the video, directed by Tony Bonnaci, Berreckman wakes up bloodied and bruised and in a fantastic mood, shedding friendly concerns as she strolls delightfully through Omaha’s Benson neighborhood. “Control” is cheery with bright, bold guitar tones, while at the same time depicting a nervous layer of social dread and awkwardness underneath.

Watch the video for “Control” below.

Battle Scenes, the long-awaited follow up to Berreckman’s 2011 LP Conservation, is available for pre-order here, and releases later this summer.
