Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya

Another day another hangover another blog

I mentioned a review....
The Charlatans performed live in wrexham the other day. it was an acoustic performance with a more electric encore.
The venue was packed, really full, quite an energetic crowd that kind of fell flat during the gig. the atmosphere was quite strange. I dont think the acoustic music of the band suited the venue or the crowd.
The band were solid, most of the songs sounded strong in there new stripped down versions but they were lost to a crowd that was expecting something a bit more high tempo.

Cant be arsed saying much else about that. It was a good night.

Arctic Monkeys have revealed there new album name, tracklisting and release date.
"Suck It And See" will be released on June 6th. Heres the tracklisting...
'She's Thunderstorms'
'Black Treacle'
'Brick By Brick'
'The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala'
'Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair'
'Library Pictures'
'All My Own Stunts'
'Reckless Serenade'
'Piledriver Waltz'
'Love Is A Laserquest'
'Suck It And See'
'That's Where You're Wrong'

Stupid stupid name for an album, the song titles sound interesting though...
Looking forward to it.

Jarule is gonna go prison for 2 years for gun posession. Hahahaha. What a goon.
However, it wont be for a few months because the judge is giving him time to sort out his taxes and finish his album. What a joke.
Heres a new song that will be featuring on the album which is called "The Renaissance Project"


Jesus Christ....


So anyway, moving on...
The Strokes have an albuum out in a week or two, which is called "Angels". Various band members have mentioned how difficult it was to record, how there is tension running through the band and that, basically, it aint been much fun being The Strokes recently.
Now i quite liked there last album, First impressions Of Earth, which was released a staggering 5 years ago. It wasnt brilliant, but it was ok. The trouble with The Strokes is they basically did everything they needed to on there first album. They have been chasing that ever since and in my opinion, they wont ever get close to it.
Julian Cassablancas, the lead singer incase you were wondering, released a solo album in 2009 which was very promising and I can see him giving up on The Strokes if they fall on there arse with "Angels". It sounds like they might be on the way out judging on the interviews etc....
Anyway, heres a new song by them. Underwhelming I think is the word your looking for...


Is it just me or does that sound like a Coral b-side or something?
tired.

Ive been listening to a band called Black Ryder recently. Quite good. Sound like BRMC/spacemen 3/Mazzy Starr ish.
If you dont know about those bands you can hear them here, here and here
And you can listen to some Black Ryder now....




Not got much else to say for now, speak to you again soon.
