BA Newsletter 11.16
*Planning to suffer through an evening with Panic At The Disco fans for your chance to see BLOC PARTY? Well head to Craigslist or Ebay with those tickets, because Bloc Party ain't gonna be there. Drummer MATT TONG collapsed during a set in Atlanta and the band has postponed all dates until he's well.
*SNOW PATROL have announced a US tour for March 2007, which starts on the west coast and includes dates in SF on March 1, NY on March 26, and and March 28 in Boston. SILVERSUN PICKUPS will open all dates.
*On November 21 at 7pm local time in theatres across the US, the new OASIS documentary "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" will run with special screenings. In the Boston area it's at Kendall Square (oasisrsvp.boston@gmail.com), in New York it's at Sunshine Cinema (oasisrsvp.nyc@gmail.com), and in SF it's at Embarcadero (oasisrsvp.sanfran@gmail.com). Send an email to the appropriate address for your city to be placed on the list.
*THE FALL, who aborted their recent NYC gig after 6 or so songs, have a new album due out in 2007 called "Reformation", as well as a pair of books - one an autobiography by Mark E. Smith and the other a collection of short stories inspired by Fall songs.
*PAUL WELLER is releasing a 4-disc career retrospective titled "Hit Parade" in January. To promote the collection he'll play 3 dates at Irving Plaza in NY - January 29 will focus on THE JAM, January 30 on THE STYLE COUNCIL, and the 31st will be career-spanning.
*Filter Magazine have teamed up with Urban Outfitters to release a charity compilation called "Give. Listen. Help.", which will be available at UO locations and online at www.urbanoutfitters.com. Unlike the chain's clothing the CD won't be offered at 3 times its value, but rather $9.99, with more than 90% of the proceeds going to charity. The tracklisting is impressive - included are the UK single version of FRANZ FERDINAND's "Eleanor Put Your Boots On", THOM YORKE b-side "Harrowdown Hill", KAISER CHIEFS b-side "Sink That Ship", YEAH YEAH YEAHS "Cheated Hearts" - the Peaches mix, plus tracks from THE WALKMEN, SNOWDEN, THE RAPTURE, FEIST and more.
*The Tripwire is reporting that THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN will release their self-titled debut in the US, but the date they gave was January 22 - a Monday and the UK release date, so I'm not sure if that piece of info is accurate or not.
*NME reports that a recent JARVIS COCKER solo gig turned into a PULP reunion of sorts, as former bandmates RICHARD HAWLEY, CANDIDA DOYLE, and STEVE MACKAY joined Cocker onstage at various times to perform tracks from the "Jarvis" album. No Pulp songs were played, though he did finish with a cover of "Space Oddity".
*DAMIEN RICE is back on the road, playing a show at Hiro Ballroom tonight (Thursday November 16). Other dates in the brief tour include December 6 at Paramount Theatre in Oakland and December 11 at Orpheum in Boston.
*THE VIEW, whose singles "Superstar Tradesman" and "Wasted Little DJ's" have gotten early play on British Accents, will release their debut on January 22 in the UK. The album is titled "Hats Off to the Buskers", and features the band's first two singles in addition to the January-released "Same Jeans" single.
*Hot newcomers THE FRATELLIS will release two limited edition live recordings via www.concertlive.co.uk - both discs will be limited to 1,000 pressings, so act now if you want them.
*According to a Myspace bulletin British Accents received this week, THE UPPER ROOM have split. But upon further inspection, it appears as if two of the members have left the band, including the one who controls the band's Myspace profile. So the band may continue under the current name with a new lineup - stay tuned.
*Also found on Myspace this week - Madchester one-hit-wonders NORTHSIDE have reformed and are looking to play a handful of US shows. They've already done a few UK dates.
*BERUIT have cancelled all upcoming dates due to illness, hopefully rescheduling in the new year.
*ROBERT POLLARD's shows in Boston and Northampton have been cancelled due to a leg injury.
