Having recently confirmed the November 5 release of Magic Hour, their first album 14 years, Jill Cunniff, Gabrielle Glaser and Kate Schellenbach, collectively known as Luscious Jackson, now announce their first live shows in over a decade: November 23 at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer and December 7 at Webster Hall in their native New York City.

Produced by Jill and Gabby (with an assist from old friend Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz on the track “So Rock On”) and released on the band’s own City Song imprint, Magic Hour is preceded by the track “Show Us What You Got,” now the subject of a video directed by longtime friend of the band and Breeders bassist Josephine Wiggs. The video can be seen at

Luscious Jackson’s unique and streetwise blend of punk, funk, and the various musical and cultural styles of its native NYC emerged via Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal label with the 1992 Village VoicePazz & Jop Best EP winner In Search Of Manny. Debut album Natural Ingredients was released on Grand Royal/Capitol in 1994, as the band embarked on that year’s Lollapalooza tour as well as an arena tour with R.E.M, saw the record’s single “Here” featured in the film and soundtrack Clueless, and appeared on Saturday Night Live. Produced by Daniel Lanois, Luscious Jackson’s sophomore album Fever In Fever Out dropped in 1996. Featuring the smash hit “Naked Eye,” it went gold and established the band as a household name everywhere from Gap ads to Jeopardy! questions. Keyboardist Vivian Trimble left the band following the conclusion of a world tour supporting Fever…making album number three, 1999’s Electric Honey (featuring the single “Ladyfingers” and its Tamra Davis-directed video), the band’s first as a trio and last before they called it a day in 2000. The hiatus was first broken in 2006, but it wasn’t until early 2012 that http://www.pledgemusic.com/artists/lusciousjackson went live and the first music from the forthcoming record was unveiled in the form of the track “Are You Ready?”
