Radiohead coming to St. Louis next tour

January 11, 2008 – 6:08 pm

Thom of RadioheadUPDATE: according to a Pitchfork post, 05-14 St. Louis, MO – Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre

So it’s been confirmed, Radiohead will play St. Louis on this tour; what incredible news.  I last saw them during the tour for The Bends, far, far too long ago.  “St. Louis is confirmed as a stop on British rock band Radiohead’s upcoming North American tour. Exact dates and venues are to be announced. The tour will be broken down in two parts – a first leg prior to a European summer tour, and another leg after the European tour. Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” CD is the top-selling album in the country this week.“  F – yes!  I have seen far too many concerts of them on video – must see the new shit live…so damn cool.

The Verve reuniting

June 29, 2007 – 8:13 am

The VerveOf all the brit pop bands to have gone away, The Verve were a great one, and a fitting one to reunite. “Silent since 1999, U.K. rock act the Verve is reuniting for a new album and fall live dates. According to a post on the group’s newly launched Web site, Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury were in a London studio last week laying down tracks for the album, which will be completed in the fall. [...] It appears guitarist/keyboardist Simon Tong, who was last heard from in the Good, the Bad and the Queen, is sitting out the reunion.” I have all of their cds, but the only time I saw them live was a tour for their first cd, back in ’94. At the time I think some in the band were only 19…great, great set though. That first cd takes me back to working in the art gallery, at a time where I was drinking too much (coffee and beer) while making no money, but having the time of my life seeing bands.

The Good, The Bad, and The Queen

December 21, 2006 – 10:55 pm

The Good, The Bad, and The Queen

This is just a crazy Brit supergroup, The Good, The Bad and The Queen features Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), Paul Simonon (The Clash), Simon Tong (The Verve) and Tony Allen (Africa 70, Fela Kuti). All of these guys have solid pedigrees coming into this project, add to that Damon who is on a tear with everything outside of Blur that he touches. Oh, did I mention who’s producing? Yeah, that’d be Dangermouse, who again, seems to have a golden halo lighting everything he’s near. Let’s see, so we have Brit-Pop, Punk, Hip Hop, and Afrobeat…and production by the cat who gave us “The Grey Album” and the fantastic “Mouse and the Mask” along with MF Doom. The debut disc by The Good, The Bad, and The Queen, Kingdom of Doom, will drop on January 22nd in the UK, and the following day over here. Give this track a listen, I think it’s going to be a happy new year indeed.
