Bright Eyes to play Belfast!
Well, I had seen all their London gigs so far, but I thought I would have to give this tour a miss. Happily not, as Witchita Records have confirmed dates in Ireland in November.
Bright Eyes play Belfast Queens University on 8th November, Dublin Whelans on the 9th. Not to be missed!

More Godspeed news...
Apparently Godspeed you Black Emperor! have their music used extensively in the new movie from Trainspotting director Danny Boyle. The movie, entitled 28 Days Later is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie wioth an original screenplay by Alex Garland. I'm not sure how much GYBE material is used in the movie, or even if it will be exclusive tracks, but it will receive a UK cinema release in early November. More details are found here, including some reoprts from test-screenings. One comment is The first twenty minutes are absolutely superb, including some amazing footage of an empty and ravaged London set to the music of the Canadian group Godspeed You Black Emperor. Judging from the first 20 minutes, this film has the potential to be the best British science fiction film in many, many years. Can't wait to see the whole thing!". I'm certainly looking forward to it.

News of some forthcoming albums...
Firstly, some relief for those of you who keep hitting this site when you're looking for details of the new Godspeed you Black Emperor! album. I mentioned in a recent live review that it may be called 'New York' but this was only a rumour, as the title has now been confirmed as 'Yanqui u.x.o'. Recorded with Steve Albini, and released in Europe on November 4, 2002 (coincidentally my birthday!). More information and cover art can be found at Constellation Records, as can their 'map of evil' artwork.
Secondly, the Delgados have finished recording their new album 'Hate'. It'll be out on October 14, but on Mantra Records - NOT on their own label Chemikal Underground! I realise some of our indier-than-thou readers may have fainted at that news, but for a full explanation (and track listing) read the final instalment of the Delgados diary.

The 'new content' initiative was halted by my relocation, but I'm back to regularly uploading material. In the past couple of days gig reviews of Mum, Ten Benson, Sophia and Oxbow have all been uploaded. Check the index or the links in the column to the left for more. The plan is to get things up-to-date before I switch to the new hosts.
Also, I'm introducing a CD reviews section as I've been sent a few good ones lately. I'm particularly interested in self-released stuff, and the first installment is likely to feature the Feline Dream, the Embers and Robyn G Shiels, amongst others. Email me if you want our postal address.
