The band, who released new album 'Barbara' last month and are currently ploughing their way around the festival circuit, hit the UK this November for some rather large headline dates. The tour calls at the following places, with tickets on sale here from Friday 23rd July: ...Lcd Soundsystem - Lcd Soundsystem - This Is Happening (2010) It's not much of a stretch to say that LCD Soundsystem's forthcoming record This Is Happening (out May 18th) is one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2010. I've never even been a huge fan and even I was eager to hear what James Murphy had come up with this time around.What he's come up with is an album that is much more eclectic than his previous efforts. The droning electronic beats have been scaled back significantly, replaced with a more diverse set of textures, and frankly vibes that provide a more consistently engaging listen. The album opener "Dance Yrself... Jimmy Eat World - Jimmy Eat World to release Invented in September September 28th, 2010 marks the release date of Jimmy Eat World’s highly anticipated new album,Invented. Recorded in Tempe, Arizona at the band’s Unit 2 studio, Jimmy Eat World reunited with Mark Trombino, the producer on the band’s breakthrough album, Bleed American, and their seminal earlier albums, Static Prevails and Clarity. “We’re very excited about Invented,” said lead singer and guitarist Jim Adkins, “it was great reconnecting and creating an album with Mark Trombino, we can’t wait for our fans to hear it.” Fans will get their first taste of Invented when the first single “My Best... Biffy Clyro - Biffy Clyro Release New Single Scottish rock trio Biffy Clyro are to release their new single 'God And Satan' on August 23rd. With their new album 'Only Revolutions' it seems that Biffy Clyro have finally broken through to the mainstream. Singles such as 'Mountains' have flown into the Top Ten, pushing their album higher up the charts. To date, 'Only Revolutions' has sold 300,000 copies - a remarkable achievement for a band who until recently drove their own tour bus. Recently performing in front of an enormous crowd at T In The Park, the band are due to follow this with a new single. Biffy Clyro... Oasis - Liam Gallagher's New Band: Bigger Than Oasis Until their end in 2009, Britpop kings Oasis were one of rock's biggest and most successful bands, selling some 70 million records worldwide. Impressive stuff. But singer Liam Gallagher is aiming to top that with his new group Beady Eye. "It'll be bigger," he said in an interview with London's Sunday Times. "I've got no doubt about the music, no doubt about me. I've never sounded better." Clearly, Liam's notorious ego is in check. Liam added that his brother Noel, Oasis' former guitarist-sonwriter who quit after an altercation backstage before a concert in Paris, will try to rejoin the... Goldfrapp - Goldfrapp Add New British Tour Dates Synth-pop kingpins Goldfrapp have confirmed details of their first major tour in two years. Funny how things change in pop. Way back when, Goldfrapp were going out on a limb with their sultry synth-pop. Name-checking The Human League at a time when every group in the country wanted to be The Libertines the duo stuck out. Now, however, the charts are full of groups who sound a lot like... Goldfrapp. Sure, La Roux et al might protest their innocence but we all know who the real innovators are. Working on new material, Goldfrapp have confirmed details of their first major... Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene - Forgiveness Rock Record (2010) One of the lasting cultural legacies of music in the 2000’s will probably be just how big indie rock got for a while. On everything from Sufjan Steven’s seminal Illinois to the grandly realized Neon Bible to the enormous twee-pop of I’m From Barcelona and the Up With People-esque cult of Polyphonic Spree; for at least one part of the subculture, music got really lush, band’s grew in size, horns and string sections became fashionable and music just got really, really big. That impulse continues to this day, so apologies if this sounds like a postmortem on indie musical vastness,... Underworld - Sigh Changes Venues For Upcoming London Show Japan's Sigh has issued the following announcement about changing venues for the band's upcoming August 10th show in London: "London Show Venue Changed to The Underworld! Please note that the venue for the our London show on August 10th has been changed to the Underworld! Address: 174 Camden High Street, Camden, London NW1 0NE, United Kingdom. Please spread the word!"

Christie Elizer of The Music Network says that a tour could be announced as early as this week. Recently on the BBC, frontman Damon Albarn announced that the band were doing 22 dates in Europe and Australia, which first sparked people’s curiosity. The band have never toured Australia, and Albarn’s previous band Blur last made it to these shores in 1997. Gorillaz were slow to begin touring, with sporadic early shows consisting of silhouettes projected onto a cartoon screen amounting to little more than an... Klaxons - WATCH: Klaxons Debut New Video British nu-rave band Klaxons have released a video for "Echoes," the first single off their August 23 release Surfing the Void, and other than the moon itself, the quartet couldn't have picked a more fitting location for a song about "echoes from the other world." Watch below. The video -- shot with longtime creative director-collaborator Saam Farahmand -- finds the London lads performing in Egypt's White Desert, an otherworldly setting that bolsters the apocalyptic, sci-fi feel of the song's spooky synths, frantic guitars, and chanting vocals. "Echoes" is the second track to leak from Klaxons' Surfing the Void. The first, "Flashover,"... |
