BA Newsletter 11.8
*There was no radio show last week, but British Accents returns this Sunday from 6-7pm with new music from THE VIEW, THE FRATELLIS and more. To check out the playlist for the last BA show 2 weeks ago, the playlist is posted on the BA blog - www.britishaccents.blogspot.com
*ALEX JAMES told the NME that he hopes GRAHAM COXON will re-join the band at some point, revealing that he's on good terms with the now solo former guitarist who is set to release a new solo disc.
*Former BOO RADLEYS and BRAVE CAPTAIN leader MARTIN CARR is in the states for a handful of Northeast shows in November. Catch him November 10 at "The Pill" at Great Scott, November 11 at 2pm for a free instore at Soundfix in Brooklyn with SCRITTI POLITTI and later that evening at Union Hall with SAY HI TO YOUR MOM, AD FRANK and CORIN ASHLEY. He'll also play at the "Death Disco" night at the Annex in Manhattan on November 15.
*THE HORRORS lead singer FARIS BADWAN was attacked onstage at a NYC gig on Halloween. The two wrestled to the floor before security ejected the attacker and the band finished their set. The band also bailed on a scheduled Boston show on Saturday, saying they were tired and didn't feel like making the trip.
*THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE QUEEN, DAMON ALBARN's latest project, release their UK debut on January 22.
*Yearning for new SNOW PATROL material? Download an aol sessions recording on iTunes, available now. GARY LIGHTBODY is also singing on a track called "Some Surprise" for a charity compilation called "The Cake Sale", which is available first in Ireland on November 3, and also features tracks from DIVINE COMEDY, THE THRILLS, GEMMA HAYES and more.
*ROB DICKINSON, formerly of THE CATHERINE WHEEL, has recorded a live album titled "Live and Alone", which will be released at a date to be revealed later. The disc is heavy on CW classics like "Black Metallic", "Heal", and "Eat My Dust...".
*LA ROCCA are the latest of many bands to have a full van's worth of gear ripped off in Philadelphia. Something has me thinking that it's the same people who keep doing it - possibly connected to organized crime through a club. For a list of La Rocca's stolen gear, head to the BA blog - www.britishaccents.blogspot.com
*THE CURE will release a 30-track live DVD shot by fans on December 5. A handful of lucky fans were allowed to film the band's 2005 tour stops, and the best of that footage will be included.
*In other Cure-related news, former keyboardist ROGER O'DONNELL is playing a show at TT the Bear's on November 27. He'll be at Joe's Pub in NY on November 29, Cafe du Nord in SF on December 6, and he's starting off the tour in SF for a free show at the Apple Store on November 11.
*THE SHINS' new single "Phantom Limb" can be streamed now at www.pitchforkmedia.com, and you can buy it off iTunes starting November 14. The CD single is out on November 21, with a 7" single out in December.
*Apparently THE STREETS' MIKE SKINNER attempted to run the NYC marathon last weekend. He didn't make it very far, according to Brooklyn Vegan.
*Want to own original artwork by GRAHAM COXON or JOHN SQUIRE? Check out www.rca.ac.uk to purchase postcard-sized pieces by a series of anonymous artists. Who exactly created which piece will be revealed when the sale is complete, so you'll have to guess which one was created by a 90's Britpop star as opposed to Christo, who also submitted a piece.
*Canadian power poppers SLOAN release their next album "Never Hear The End Of It" on January 9 in the US.
*THE BRAVERY are planning to release a new album next year, and they're doing a handful of "secret" shows, including November 13 @ TT the Bear's, November 14 @ Century Lounge in Providence, and November 29 at Webster Hall in NYC.
*RAINER MARIA are splitting up, but not before a farewell show at Bowery Ballroom on December 16.
