BA Newsletter 11.29
*After more than 25 years together (over 30 if you count JOY DIVISION and WARSAW), NEW ORDER may be finally calling it quits. The Tripwire reports that PETER HOOK says the band is probably done, but STEPHEN MORRIS says no, and BERNARD SUMNER isn't saying anything. The band is also in a quarrel with director ANTON CORBIJN, who is working on the new Ian Curtis/Joy Division bio-pic "Control", over, well, control of the project.
*Want to hear IDLEWILD's new song? Head to the British Accents myspace site - www.myspace.com/britishaccents and wait for the song to start playing. The band's new album "Make Another World" is due out in the UK in February, and the new single "If It Takes You Home" will be sold as a limited edition 7" on December 4 and later as a download.
*THE EDITORS are hard at work on their second album, but to tie over die-hard fans, the band has made an EP of 4 remixes available on iTunes - there you can download remixes of "Munich", "All Sparks", "Camera" and "Blood". The band's new LP is due out next year.
*CAMERA OBSCURA have announced a show on January 26 at Pearl Street in Northampton, so hopefully Boston and New York shows will be announced soon. Head to www.bradleysalmanac.com to download the band's set at Great Scott last summer.
*While ASH prepare to release their new album, former guitarist CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY will release her second solo album on March 5 in the UK, titled "The Deep Blue". A limited edition EP featuring the new single "Behave" will hit shelves on December 17.
*THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN will release their second UK single, "Kingdom of Doom", on January 15 in the UK.
*BIS are re-uniting for a handful of UK shows, but unfortunately for American fans, the reunion is expected to be short lived - too short-lived to produce any new material or a US tour.
*THE SHINS will play a handful of west coast dates this December, including the 8th at Bill Graham Arena in SF.
*ARCTIC MONKEYS lead singer ALEX TURNER apparently has enough free time on his hands to start another band, called THE RASCALS. So far they don't have much out, but you can check out a demo on their myspace site - www.myspace.com/rascalmusic
*KULA SHAKER are so far gone from the public conciousness that I heard a DJ last week call them "Koala Shakur", but that's not stopping the band from returning to the studio to work on some new material. Sorry to disappoint all of you JEEVAS fans out there.
*CLINIC have rescheduled some of their cancelled dates from this fall, but in typical Clinic fashion, the dates are a long way away - mark your calendars for March 10 in Boston.
*Newcomers LITTLE MAN TATE will release their UK debut on January 29, titled "About What You Know". The album is expected to get a US release, since the band has already toured here.
*OF MONTREAL have announced an ambitious tour for next year that includes 3 SF dates, 2 stops at Irving Plaza in NY, and one at Boston's cavernous Avalon on March 11. The band's new album "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" is out on January 23.
*Anyone remember the mid-90s post-WONDER STUFF project called WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE? The band released 2 singles before splitting in 1996, but recorded more than 2 full albums' worth of material in the process. Earlier this year former band member MARTIN GILKS died following a road accident, and now those unreleased recordings will be seeing the light of day as a way to raise money. The unofficial Wonder Stuff fansite, www.room512.com will be releasing the songs through the site.
*2007's edition of the Coachella Festival will be a 3-day affair, running from April 27-29. No bands have been announced yet, so start up the rumour mill. Let's see how well this rumour spreads - I heard MORRISSEY is going to be there. Run with it, people!
*Want to go to that FREE show on December 4 at the Paradise with VON BONDIES? You just need to get yourself on the list, which you can do by emailing contests@thefader.com and giving them your name.
*THE SILVER JEWS have cancelled their year-end shows in New York and Northampton.
*If you're not going out tonight, or if you have Tivo or DV-R, you can check out SILVERSUN PICKUPS on David Letterman this Friday night.
*Coming soon - the 8th annual British Accents years-end poll - so start thinking about your favorite songs, albums, and shows of 2006!
