and Tom Overby, into his set lists. On December 19th in New York, he’ll perform the album live in its entirety for the first time, with Williams joining him as a special guest.
The Bowery Ballroom gig doubles as Malin’s annual hometown holiday show and will be broadcast on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country and Underground Garage channels beginning at 8:00 p.m./ET. Expect “Chemical Heart” to be a highlight. A bouncy Farfisa-organ-driven rocker, it tells the tale of a toxic relationship via allusions to various pop-culture figures, from boxer Jake LaMotta to songwriter Bernie Taupin. Malin wrote the song with his longtime friend Holly Ramos, with whom he has collaborated since he was just 15. He says the song owes a debt to Elton John.
“We were these teenage anarchist hardcore kids, sneaking into nightclubs, going to protests and putting on underground shows and benefits for others in need, trying hard to change the world in our own little way,” Malin says. “We spent our summers days at hardcore matinees and late nights at after-hours clubs, but somehow we found ourselves crying our eyes out at Elton John’s show at Madison Square Garden. We were punks and weren’t supposed to like stuff like that, but we loved him.
