Public Type presents papa mbye - JAKAARLO, special guests bird dog Major Sosa kaya (DJ Set)★
Icehouse
Doors 6:00pm · Show 8:00pm
$15 adv / $22 dos
papa mbye writes experimental pop songs threading flourishes of electronic, R&B, soul, and more. Born in The Gambia, raised in North Minneapolis, and a relative newcomer to making music after starting as a visual artist, he’s taken strides in his sound in a short time. With his new self-produced EP, JAKAARLO, he brings his voice into focus, exercising restraint in arrangements while pushing his craft forward. Songs burst with color, texture, and hooks. JAKAARLO is a meditation on closeness. Not just the kind shared between lovers, but the elusive kind that drifts between memory, distance, and desire. The title, which translates from Wolof as “to be close to”, is borrowed from a song by the late Senegalese musician N'dongo Lo appearing on his 2005 album Adouna. With JAKAARLO, mbye channels that sense of appreciation for the entirety of love, the real and the raw, the fleeting and finite, the spaces between people, tense, messy, and beautiful. Joined by a cast of collaborators, mbye wields layers of instrumentation and voice into vibrant, future-facing material that declares his arrival as both a visionary producer and performer. The mood board for JAKAARLO spans the music of his youth (Youssou N'Dour, N'dongo Lo) and the boundless off-kilter pop of Jai Paul, alongside mbye’s friends and contemporaries: Minneapolis artists Young Dervish, vlush, KINFU, and Ryan Olson (Bon Iver, Gayngs, Poliça), who contributed on the album. papa mbye’s music rumbles, rattles, and darts between modes, welcoming high-wattage basslines, guitar riffs, and synth tones in a hyperactive, mesmeric mix. At the center is his emotive voice, capable of raspy croon and howling falsetto.
★ Recommended by racket
In April, Racket’s first-ever Picked to Click winner released his seven-track EP, Jakaarlo, the much-anticipated follow-up to Parcelles 16. The title means “to be close to” in Wolof, and, fittingly, his singing is more sensual than ever here while high-profile local collaborators Young Dervish and (Meatloaf Dipper co-inventor) Ryan Olson ensure that his music is even more stylistically varied than in the past. Mbye wrote the material for Jakaarlo over the course of a relationship, which ended just as he completed the album, and the title track is influenced by two of old-school Senegalese mbalax stars; N'dongo Lo released a song by the same name, and Mbye samples the great Youssou N’Dour’s song “Lima Wesu.”

BUZZ KULL, KONTRAVOID, DJ Gwiingwans
Icehouse
Doors 6:00pm · Show 8:00pm
$25 adv / $32 dos
Kontravoid's masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with an oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro, and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019's "Too Deep" and 2021's "Faceless," dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs—there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy. 2018's "Undone" has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin's Fleisch Records. Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience's attention with a powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bassline rhythmic patterns. He's toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty, and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.

Kiefer at Icehouse, Shibo
Icehouse
Doors 6:00pm · Show 8:00pm
$20 adv / $27 dos
Kiefer Bio- One of LA’s best kept musical secrets, Kiefer has been described as a musician who doesn’t play keys with his fingers, but with his soul, which just about sums up in as simple terms as possible the artistry of this truly gifted individual who has re-defined that happy place between jazz improvisation and hip-hop beat-making. His distinctive musical style, which he calls ‘Over The Breaks,’ reaches new heights of creativity on Memory Bomb, his solo debut for Blue Note Records. Raised in San Diego, Kiefer Shackelford’s upbringing consisted of parents who were both aerospace engineers and keen pianists who both influenced him in their own way. His mother taught him at a very young age how to read music and play piano including simple Bach minuets. His father was a big lover of jazz, and Blue Note in particular, whose records included the hard bop of Sonny Clark and the soul jazz of Gene Harris. Kiefer would endlessly listen to Kind Of Blue, and after reading Miles Davis’s biography at 13, he knew he wanted to become a jazz musician. All during high school he studied jazz piano with a local teacher and went on to attend UCLA where Blue Note legend guitarist Kenny Burrell, who was head of the jazz program, became one of his tutors all through his college career. After college Kiefer got signed to Stones Throw Records where he began to establish his musical identity and gain notice with a series of releases including Happysad, Between Days, and It’s Ok, B U. His musical resume now includes collabs with Dr. Dre, De La Soul, Pete Rock, Anderson .Paak, Kaytranada, Terrace Martin, and many others. Back in 2021 he’d heard that the legendary Don Was, President of Blue Note Records, was taking an interest his work and when time came to look for new partnerships to help him communicate his art to an appreciative audience and he realized that Blue Note would be a great place to do just that. He regards being signed to Blue Note as an “awesome gift” and a huge honor as well as a sentimental full circle moment after having grown up listening to Blue Note. The new collective project FATHERS—with Kiefer, bassist CARRTOONS, drummer Nate Smith, and producer Kenneth Blume—was the first full-length album on the label to feature the keyboardist. Kiefer is a great believer in embracing new influences and new styles by way of collaboration with others and that’s where the journey to his first Blue Note leader album starts. His first priority was to get his two best friends—CARRTOONS and Shibo—to co-produce the album with him as they completely understood his sound, his harmony and were both extremely adept at drum programming. This mindset of innovation through collaboration extended to the inclusion of a whole host of vocalists, rappers and stellar musicians to produce interesting combinations leading to something new and exciting that still sounded like a Kiefer thing. The album title ‘Memory Bomb’ is the poetic way of saying ‘A Dream.’ For Kiefer, there are three types, the sort you experience when you sleep, the wishful longing type, and the ambitious type - and those themes populate the direction of some, if not all, of the songs on this album. There’s a real lyrical feel to Memory Bomb as it tells a story, and thanks to its improvisational moments, one that changes every time you listen to it. It’s wistful, poetic, and groove driven all connected by that central feeling of being in a dreamscape of Kiefer’s making. He describes the creative process for this LP as being driven by the need to find a creative space between jazz and hip-hop and the starting point involved the inclusion of acclaimed drummer Nate Smith, who lays it down on the smacking “Overture.” Kiefer says Smith “can play hip-hop, sound like he’s playing for Steely Dan, or for Betty Carter, or odd meters for Dave Holland, funk for Vulfpeck - he can do all these things and sound signature in all of them.” He expresses the same level of admiration for the other contributors across the album: rappers Tony Stone and Erick the Architect who trade verses on “NewLevels NewDevils”; hip-hop trio Planet Giza who light up the groove-laden “BusyForYa”; saxophonist Walter Smith III and guitarist Flanafi who create the evocative textures of the wistful title track “Memory Bomb.” The album also features contributions from the likes of Cisco Swank, Luke Titus, Relyae, Rae Khalil, Moonchild’s Amber Navran, Phil Beaudreau, Gareth Donkin, and Omari Jazz. Kiefer describes most of the people on the LP as his LA ‘hangouts,’ some old, some new, but he makes special mention of Shibo, a beat maker he met at UCLA who introduced Kiefer to the world of Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Low End Theory, and others which had a profound influence on his creative path. Over the past several years the constellation of talents heard across Memory Bomb have thrived in that space that Kiefer describes as ‘Over The Breaks,’ a term derived from a J Dilla track which for Kiefer means any artist who continues to push those boundaries. Shibo Bio- Shibo is the solo project of bassist and producer Erik Shiboski. A Bay Area native and a staple of the Northeast LA music community, Shibo is a longtime friend and collaborator of Kiefer’s, serving as a co-producer and primary artist on Kiefer’s upcoming album. His bass playing and production are also featured in the work of BROCKHAMPTON, Tkay Maidza, Jay Prince, Planet Giza, Nick Dorian, and others. His debut album, featuring his unique brand of musicianship and synth psychedelia, is set to drop later this year.

The trio features a rotating cast of guitarists, including Charlie Hunter, Alan Good Parker and Morgan Burrs.

$30 adv / $40 dos
9PM pm Showtime The music group “Harriet Tubman” formed in 1998 when drummer JT Lewis, guitarist Brandon Ross and bassist Melvin Gibbs came together to start a band with meaning. Named after the heroic African American slave who risked her life to escape from slavery and help more than 300 others to do the same, Harriet Tubman is deeply inspired by the ideals of freedom. The trio’s music — a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, and blues — examines the depths of these genres for their own unique liberated musical expression. The band counts Jimi Hendrix, Ornette Coleman, and Parliament-Funkadelic as contributors to its musical DNA. Guitarist and singer Brandon Ross, bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer J.T. Lewis have collaborated with artists as diverse as Cassandra Wilson, Living Colour, Lou Reed, Herbie Hancock, Henry Threadgill, Sting, Arrested Development, the Rollins Band, David Murray and Meshell Ndegeocello. Their own sound is pure and liberated musical expression — a deep and soulful meditation on the concept of freedom. Integrating sampling and other digital methods into a compelling genre-defying sound, Harriet Tubman embraces the pioneering spirit of jazz. Re-contextualizing musical technology to create innovative compositions is an important part of the African American tradition, and the trio sees Harriet Tubman as its contribution to that tradition. In essence, “Harriet Tubman” makes music that is a fusion of soul, rock, jazz, blues, and avant-garde. “Georgia Anne Muldrow, a forward-thinking vocalist and producer, joined Harriet Tubman for a new album of immersive psychedelic fusion.” —New York Times

This “supergroup’ started performing together in 2024 on Joel’s debut album and they had so much fun and had such a great response that they joined together to form this new band, the Friend Ship. They released their first EP, All Aboard! In 2026 and will now be releasing their new album which was recorded live at Century Oak Studio. The word is out and they have been filling every show with new friends, old friends and music lovers everywhere! The Friend Ship would love to bring their best original songs, sweetest harmonies, and funniest stories for a return engagement to the coolest musical venue in town, the Ice House!
