If you’re attending the upcoming SXSW festival in Austin TX later this week, you’ll be the some of the first to be treated to LA based artist Adam Freeland’s exciting new live show formed around his upcoming album Cope™.  

Under the moniker Freeland, Adam and cohorts, Kurt Baumann on vocals (lead singer on Cope™), and Hayden Scott (Pop Levi) on drums, with Freeland himself triggering samples, playing rude Korg MS-20 synth lines, and taking lead vocals on the band’s thundering, take-no-prisoners cover of Grinderman’s “No Pussy Blues”; will transform classic Freeland club bangers like “We Want Your Soul” into smart bombs that detonate the dance floor but defy genre.

According to acclaimed Grammy-nominated DJ/producer Adam Freeland, he always intended his groundbreaking new full-length Cope™, to be more than just another electronica album. “I wanted to make more than just another artist project,” Freeland explains. “I always saw Cope™ as a band album more than just another DJ slapping together a bunch of random club grooves. I wanted to create songs I could play live, not just DJ with.”

Freeland also notes; “I’ve always mixed rock into my sets anyway, so having a band is just a natural progression from that,” he clarifies. “Freeland has all the hard-hitting grooves of my DJ sets, but played live they’re even more raw, personal and in your face. This is the sound I’ve always heard in my head, so now I want to hear it as loud as possible!”
