NEWS AND STUFF: MAY 08
The Cure, whose ‘The Only One’ single just reached a skyscraping Number 48, are releasing three more singles from June. Each will be released monthly on the 13th and will come with new B-sides, as their most recent did. Next up is ‘Freakshow’, which they played live at Wembley, a gig The VPT reviewed last month (see http://vapourtrailfanzine.blogspot.com for more) which, like the other A-sides, should be on the album. ‘13’, the band’s 13th studio album (see what they did there?!) is out in September and is unlikely to be the double LP that Smith & co promised. Said to be entirely upbeat, the apparently darker songs are being saved for a separate album which is in the pipeline for Christmas....My Bloody Valentine, who are back in business and with a new album seemingly on the way, are reissuing ‘Isn’t Anything’ and ‘Loveless’ on June 16th. Although old Kev hasn’t seen it as being appropriate to include anything from their legendary EPs, he has elected to remaster the albums, pen some sleevenotes for them and, in the case of Loveless, include a version of the same culled from old analogue tapes on the second disc......Glasvegas, who you can read about in here, have announced that their debut album looks set for release in either late August or early September. ‘Geraldine’ will be released as a single on June 26th and the album is being co-produced by singer James Allan and Interpol producer Rich Costey. Allan has stated that he is looking for a less jagged and more dreamy sound on the record and this is certainly reflected in their current live output. Songs likely for inclusion are ‘Daddy’s Gone’, ‘It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry’, ‘Flowers and Football Tops’, ‘Polmont On My Mind’, ‘Dream, Dream, Dreaming’, ‘Lonesome Swan’ and ‘Sad Lite’…..In news more directly connected to The Vapour Trail, The Firm have just finished recording a new three-track EP which should be available from www.myspace.com/thefirmband within the next two weeks. The songs include ‘Terrible Tragedy’ and ‘Buckle Up Shackle Down’, both featuring Archie Knox on drums, as well as ‘Round the Rim (And Back To Him)’, which is the recorded debut of Yameen Khan. The songs have been co-produced by Iain Mullen, who took care of the engineering and mixing duties…..Seb Pidgeon and Steve Cross of Untitled1961, who are headlining next month’s VPT, are launching ‘Duel In The Deep, a monthly clubnight that will take place at Catch 22 on Shoreditch High Street. The first night will be on Monday June 23rd and features live music from Pushboxer (formerly Runner), Time.Space.Repeat, Nitkowski and Yupa. It starts at 7.30pm and is sure to be excellent…..Doe Face Lillian, who you can read about in these very pages, are playing a show with The Drowners on May 28th at the Buffalo Bar. Once again, this one is not to be missed…..Finally, next month’s Trail features live music from Untitled1961, The Firm & N, N Minus as well as DJ sets from Julia Justice and Magenta Placenta.
