Myspace Update

Mostly artists plugging their new albums, tours etc. so I will leave all that out as it is a bit of a mindscrew trying to take it all in simultaneously. I am still catching up on stuff here so there may be some dated info below but sure you can never have enough information can you? Of course not!

Band of Horses/Pearl Jam

From May 3rd until May 21st these two will join forces on the road in the U.s. as Pearl Jam continue to tour last years Backspacer and Band Of Horses will have hopefully released the eagerly anticipated Infinite Arms, scheduled for a May release, by that stage.

Gill Landry

Gill’s new album, Piety & Desire, is now available. Backed by G-Man favourites The Felice Brothers as well as appearances by members of Old Crow Medicine Show this new release is surely worth a listen.

Efterklang

Various different versions of “The Soft Beating” by the crazy Danes. Basically any excuse to mention Efterklang is fine by me!

Beth Jeans Houghton

Is quite clearly and understandably upset at the BBC’s decision to cut 6 Music
