Sometimes it cant be warm on the outside so we have to warm it up on the inside, SamHerring, frontman forFuture Islands, tolda rambunctious crowd Thursday night at New Yorks Terminal 5 concert venue, their first in a two-night series.Future Islands arent a new bandtheir first release together came with 2006s Little Advancesbut thanks to an electric Letterman performance last spring (one of EWs top videos of the year), Herring has been playing tobigger and bigger crowds and beguiling them with his with his arsenalof grave crooning, death-metal roars, and propulsive dance moves.
Thursdays show was just the bands second time playing Terminal 5, a 3,000 person venue, and their biggest U.S. show to date. Their first appearance here was back in 2011 where,Herring told the crowd in his slightly Southern lilt, the band playedto just about a hundred people. Thursday night saw a sold out crowd of dancers, moshers, and bodysurfers ready to dance, jump, and mosh asprompted. (I wanna see what kind of moves yall got! Herring declared at the opening ofDoves.)
While the rest of his group are efficient, heads-down performers, Herring puts on a rare show. Chest-thumping, growling, jumping, slinking, kicking, and at times crawling around the stage, he moves through and between songs at breakneck speed, stopping only long enough to fit in a Lets keep the show going! or Lets shut the fk up and keep it going! Thecrowd responds in turn: less than halfwaythrough the set the room wasas sweaty and thumping as any dance floor in the city, and stayed that waythrough the two-song encore.
Seasons (Waiting OnYou), Balance, and Tin Man got the biggest responses, as well as the biggest performances from Herringand they were followed by several sincere thank-yous to the crowd. Its a special thing to see a band so exceptionally excited toexhaust themselves on stage.
Future Islandsis touring through March.All dates are listed here.
See the rest here:
In the short film Road Dawgs, released on YouTube last month about the recent rise of indie rock band Future Islands, the members of the band discuss the grueling nature of touring and the threat of change. For the Baltimore-based band, change has been inevitable in the past year, from their star-making turn on the Late Show with David Letterman, (from where their powerful, weird performance went viral), to the success of the the track they performed on the show, Seasons (Waiting On You), which landed at the top of various Best Songs of 2014 lists from outlets like Pitchfork and Spin.
It seems as if Future Islands was the break-out band of 2014 and as a result, their victory lap consists of two sold-out shows at Terminal 5, the second of which is tonight. However, as with all overnight success stories in the music industry, the rise of Future Islands happened anything but quickly; its just that the bulk of the listening public didnt start paying attention until last year. The band, consisting of Samuel T. Herring (singer), William Cashion (guitars), and Gerrit Wilmers (keyboards), actually formed back in 2006 and had been met with middling success since.
That all changed with their curiously titled album Singlesin March 2014. Recorded at Dreamland Studios in upstate New York (not far from Woodstock), Singles netted the band critical acclaim and an invitation to appear on Letterman, which was actually their television debut. In the currently flooded late-night talk show landscape, performances rarely raise the profile of musical acts, but thanks to Mr. Herrings manic style, which combined elements of 80s pop, Elvis Presley and a screamo rocker, Future Islands catapulted into the limelight and became an an instant online meme. Suddenly, the band found itself being lauded by everyone from Coldplays Chris Martin to Mr. Letterman himself, who continued playing clips of Mr. Herrings performance in the nights that followed.
The hype from the Letterman performance carried over into hype for the album, which was produced by Chris Coady, perhaps best known for his work with fellow indie darlings Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and TV on the Radio. Singles is risky, but the strength of the songwriting carries it over, explained Pitchforks Jeremy D. Larson in his review of the album, which noted that the point of Future Islands was to invite this impulsive and unfettered behavior into the lives of listeners, both at home and at their shows.
Mr. Larsons point is valid, especially after a sequence in Road Dawgs in which Mr. Herring explains how he often breaks down and cries on stage. Its not fake, he explains concerning how aspects of his lyrics continue to touch on him emotionally. Its really from those initial moments of living those things and feeling them again through the music.
Mr. Herring better have tissues on hand for Future Islands busy 2015, which finds the band everywhere from Australia in February to Governors Ball in June. Future Islands is what I want it to be, and theres a fear in it growing too big, Mr. Herring says in Road Dawgs. Im prepared to be playing on those big stages, that doesnt scare me at all and I accept it, but I also dont want to lose touch with who I am as a person, who Gerrit and William are as people, and who our fans are as people.

Sequencing facility and shared postdoctoral program to support genetic discovery research to advance development of new treatments
CAMBRIDGE, MA, and NEW YORK, NY (January 9, 2015) -- Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Columbia University Medical Center have formed a $30 million strategic alliance to conduct genetics discovery research on the underlying causes of disease and to identify new treatment approaches. As part of this agreement, a sequencing and analysis facility and shared postdoctoral program will be established at Columbia to support collaborative genetics studies. The agreement will integrate genomics research conducted at Columbia with Biogen Idec's understanding of disease mechanisms and pathways, and expertise in discovering new medicines.
"Our understanding of human genetics is rapidly expanding, and there is growing recognition that the elucidation of the genetic causes of disease will have a transformative effect on both patient care and drug development in many different diseases," said David Goldstein, PhD, founding director of Columbia University's Institute for Genomic Medicine. "This collaboration marries the exceptional drug development expertise of Biogen with cutting-edge genomics expertise at Columbia University Medical Center. It will not only focus on target identification and validation at the early stages of drug development, but also facilitate genetically informed evaluation of treatments."
"Human genetic technologies and analytics have advanced to the point where they are becoming central to the discovery and development of new medicines," said Tim Harris, PhD, DSc, Senior Vice President, Technology and Translational Sciences, Biogen Idec. "We are committed to working with leading institutions such as Columbia to advance basic genetic research and, by combining our unique strengths, accelerating the discovery of potential new treatments."
The collaboration will enable Biogen Idec and Columbia to investigate the genomes of patients showing unusual treatment responses or unique disease presentations and to explore the connections among genes, pathways, and disease processes. The ultimate goal will be to provide multiple qualified targets for new therapeutic approaches, increasing the potential for the development of new treatments.
"This collaboration with Biogen, with its focus on the genetic causes of diseases, fits in perfectly with Columbia's commitment to precision medicine," said Lee Goldman, MD, MPH, Harold and Margaret Hatch Professor of the University and dean of the faculties of health sciences and medicine. "The development of new treatments based on this genetic understanding will have profound effects on clinical practice."
The new facility will have broad genetic research capabilities and the capacity to launch and complete whole-genome sequencing projects rapidly. It will allow for rapid population-scale DNA sequencing across a broad range of disease areas, focusing on diseases with significant unmet clinical need such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Tom Maniatis, PhD, the Isidore S. Edelman Professor of Biochemistry and chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Columbia University Medical Center and director of Columbia's university-wide precision medicine initiative, said, "The strong clinical and basic science programs in neurodegenerative diseases at Columbia will significantly benefit from the Columbia/Biogen alliance. We expect that the alliance will dramatically advance our understanding of the genetics of these devastating diseases and ultimately lead to mechanism-based treatments, a key aspect of Columbia's precision-medicine initiative."

Biogen Idec and Columbia Medical Center to conduct collaborative genetics research
Geneva (AFP) - Human tests of two possible Ebola vaccines have proven safe and now tests to measure their efficiency will begin within weeks in the three west African countries ravaged by the deadly virus, the World Health Organization said Friday.
"These trials are about to begin for the two lead vaccines," WHO assistant director general Marie-Paule Kieny told reporters, adding that the vaccines would be tested on tens of thousands of people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The Phase III testing to ensure the vaccines actually provide protection against the virus that has killed 8,259 people in the three African countries is set to begin in Liberia by the end of the month, she said.
Separate tests are scheduled to start in Sierra Leone and Guinea in February, she added.
There is no licensed treatment or vaccine for Ebola, and the WHO has endorsed rushing potential ones through trials in a bid to stem the epidemic.
The two potential vaccines that have been undergoing Phase 1 safety tests on humans are ChAd3, made by Britain's GlaxoSmithKline, and VSV-EBOV, manufactured by the Public Health Agency of Canada and developed by Merck.
Tests of the two potential vaccines have been conducted on volunteers in a range of countries, including Switzerland, Mali, Gabon, Britain, Germany, Canada and the United States.
Both have shown to have "an acceptable safety profile," Kieny said, relaying the findings of a high-level meeting of policy makers, researchers, regulators and vaccine developers in Geneva Thursday.
"That is really good news," she said, acknowledging that "the world is waiting for us to get these vaccines ready and out to the people with this virus raging through their communities."
