Midnight Oil – Wiltern Theater – Los Angeles – Tonight!

17/05/25 at 12.20pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Midnight OilAfter a fifteen year break, Midnight Oil is back together!

The legendary Australian rockers, lead by 64 year old frontman Peter Garrett, have embarked upon The Great Circle World Tour.  The tour kicked off in South America last month and is nearing the end of the North American leg tonight at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.

This is no typical reunion tour, you know, the kind where a band plays the same seventeen tunes in order night after night.  The Oils have rehearsed practically their entire catalogue and play a different set (23 tunes) each night.  They’ve already introduced more than seventy different tunes on their tour so far, if you count a few warm up gigs in their home country to start the tour.

Fans can count on a run on the hits at the end of the set, including alternative rock classics “Beds Are Burning,” “The Dead Heart,” “Blue Sky Mine,” “Dreamworld,” and “Forgotten Years.”  Other classic Midnight Oil tunes that show up on the setlist on a consistent basis include “Power and The Passion,” “King Of The Mountain,” “Truganini,” and “When Generals Talk.”

What’s your favorite Midnight Oil tune? Mine’s “Warakurna.”

Doors swing open at 7pm. All Our Exes Live In Texas is scheduled to open.

Can’t wait!

Listen To New Music From Jesus Jones, No, Seriously

16/07/01 at 9.01am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Back in 1991, did you ever wonder what Jesus Jones might sound like in 25 years… wonder no more.

Jesus JonesIn case you missed it, the British grebo legends quietly released new music in the form of an extended play (3 tunes) this past week entitled How’s This Even Going Down?  In addition, the band is threatening a new full-length sometime later this year.

It’s the first new material from the band in nearly fifteen years, that is if you count the band’s little-known fifth studio album London in 2001 and the 2004 EP Culture Vulture.

The group, led by frontman Mike Edwards, enjoyed commercial success in the early 90′s mostly due to the infectious single “Right Here, Right Now,” from the their critically-acclaimed second album Doubt.

The album Doubt is a timeless piece of work that deserves a good dusting off and spin every couple of years.  You can spin it right here, right now on the Spotify.

Over the course of a career than spans almost thirty years, the group released five studio albums, numerous EP’s, and live recordings galore.

I’ve always enjoyed Jesus Jones’ music and dig this new stuff, I dare you to check it out below.

I look forward to adding Jesus Jones to my 2017 Coachella Wish List, that is, when I get around to making it.

Revisit the tune “Who? Where? Why?” below:

Listen To The Stone Roses “Beautiful Thing”

Group Plays First Gig In Three Years

16/06/10 at 9.00pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

20131101_stone-roses-made-of-stone_91New music from The Stone Roses keeps on coming!  The band unveiled its latest single “Beautiful Thing” early Friday morning.  It’s the second song to surface from the band in the last month and first form of new music in over twenty years.

The new tune follows the group’s two live performances in over three years, Tuesday at Halifax Victoria Theatre and Wednesday at Carlisle Sands Centre.  Prior to Tuesday’s show, Reni revealed that the band had 100% recorded more new music other than the first single “All For One,” and it sounds beautiful, get it, “Beautiful Thing.”

The band’s setlist this week looks very similar to the reunion shows from a few years back, however, the band reintroduced “Sally Cinnamon” and “Mersey Paradise” to their set on Wednesday, as well as “Begging You” and the first-ever live performance of “All For One” on Tuesday.  Revisit “All For One” right here.

Rumors have surfaced over a possible secret gig this weekend.

All of this precedes a four night residency Manchester’s Etihad Stadium next week.

The band will play New York’s Madison Square Garden on June 30.

Enjoy all seven minutes of “Beautiful Thing” below:

The Stone Roses Unveil New Track “All For One”

16/05/13 at 8.43am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Life is Good!

The Stone RosesThe legendary Manchester baggy band The Stone Roses released their first new music in over twenty years yesterday.  The new track is titled “All For One,” and is apparently the lead-single from the band’s forthcoming album, no details yet.

In anticipation of this historic event, posters and billboards with the band’s lemon logo were placed all over the U.K., very similar to what we did here in the States…

I can’t wait to sing-a-long to “All For One” when The Roses play the 4:35 pm time slot in the Gobi Tent at the 2017 Coachella Music Festival.  What? It’s okay to dream, hell, who could’ve dreamt up The Stone Roses would get back together and then release new music?

Holy shit! What a historic day in the world of music.  Sorry Radiohead, this is way bigger news than you guys releasing an album, just sayin.

Give it a handful of listens below.

The Stone Roses Are Threatening A New Album, Allegedly

16/03/17 at 12.05pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

20131101_stone-roses-made-of-stone_91Reports are surfacing in England that Manchester’s pride and joy, The Stone Roses, are finally planning to release a third studio album.  Stop Me If You Think You Heard This One Before, but I’ll believe it when I see it on The Spotify.  In the unlikely event this is true, this will be the follow-up to 1994′s Second Coming.

The baggy Heritage legends reformed back in 2012, but rumors of another split surfaced in 2014.  Recently, the band announced a few upcoming shows, including a headlining appearance at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  The group has only played two U.S. shows since reuniting, both coming at the 2013 Coachella Music Festival.  I was there, of course.

Peter Buck Discusses R.E.M.’s Breakup, As “Out Of Time” Turns 25

16/03/14 at 9.28pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Music R.E.M.On September 21, 2011 I learned that my favorite band of all-time was “calling it a day.”  Since that sad day, the band hasn’t said much about the break up other than it was done with all members in agreement, and they would never reunite.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck discusses the band’s decision to break up, his opinion of the current music industry, as well as a few other juicy nuggets.  As opposed to me wasting my time regurgitating the article, read it for yourself right here.

“We got together, and Michael said, ‘I think you guys will understand. I need to be away from this for a long time.’ And I said, ‘How about forever?’”

R.E.M. out of timeMeanwhile, the band’s seventh and most commercially successful album Out Of Time is turning 25 years old this week.  It’s not hard to believe that this was the album that made R.E.M. a household name.  In 1991, any alternative band could’ve released anything and it be well-received in the mainstream.  Hell, they could’ve released an album that included a mandolin, organ, acoustic guitar, and Kate Pierson of the B52′s singing back up vocals, and it would’ve won a Grammy award.  Wait, that’s exactly what they did.

Miss you guys!

R.I.P. The Replacements

15/06/07 at 11.49am   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

20150416_213905If you’re a Mats fan, what took place over the last three plus years was only supposed to happen in you’re wildest imagination.  The 2012 benefit EP Songs For Slim for sick guitarist Slim Dunlap, reuniting for the three Riot Fest dates in 2013, the disinterested Coachella appearance in 2014, and finally, the Back By Unpopular Demand Tour in 2015.

Sadly, The Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg told the Primavera Porto on Friday that the Primavera Sound Festival date would be their final show ever (allegedly).  He also added they blew off their sound check, calling the band “lazy bastards to the end.”  It should come as no surprise, since Mr. Westerberg was doing his best Riddler act by wearing a different t-shirt each night of the tour with a spray painted letter on it.  In the end, fans with much more time on their hands, were able to figure out his message, “I have always loved you. Now I must whore out my past.”

IMG_4841According to numerous reports, you can put an end to those silly rumors about the band planning to release a new album.  However, the new tune “Whole Food Blues” surfaced in recent shows.

I feel bad for my friends back in Pittsburgh who had their Mats show at the AE Stage postponed, now officially cancelled.

Folks, that was fun while it lasted, albeit sloppy at best.

Paul Long’s Lyndon B. Johnson Editorial Unearthed

15/02/20 at 3.41pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Paul Long ImageThere are stunning developments in the ongoing crusade to locate a copy of the editorial delivered by Paul Long on Lyndon B. Johnson back in the late-eighties.  The mixtape produced by The Shark entitled “New Sounds In College” (tracklist below), contains THE most sought-after piece of audio from the Club Bamford years, albeit a partial recording.  The Depeche Mode dominated mixtape, which was under my bed this entire time, contains a 17-second audio-only clip of the editorial.  Sadly, it does not, I repeat does not, possess the portion about the teleprompter or the “what did he say” exchange.  We’ll take what we can get at this point.

Coupon GuaranteeThe Paul Long editorial rivals only the Coupon Guarantee as the most referenced subject in Club Bamford mythology.

Paul Long was a highly regarded Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania anchorman who worked at the ABC affiliate WTAE Action News from 1969 to 1994.  It wasn’t until around the late-eighties that Mr. Long began to develop a cult following, which still exists long after his untimely passing at the tender age of 86 back in 2002.

Without further ado…  I present Paul Long’s majestic voice in digitally remastered form.

 

 

Let the crusade continue… Rumor has it that Gabes may have the entire copy.

14/12/22 at 7.42pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Michael StipeR.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe recently sat down with Anthony Mason of CBS This Morning and was candid on his plans to sing again, along with the future of the iconic band.  When asked about a R.E.M. reunion, Mr. Stipe said “No. That will never happen… There’s no point.”  He goes on to add that he despises nostalgia (Heritage Acts) but has full respect for them.  The soon to be 55 year old plans to sing again soon, just not with R.E.M.

The band recently released a six-DVD career spanning box set entitled REMTV.  If you’re looking for a last minute stocking stuffer for the R.E.M. fan in your life, look no further.

Tears For Fears – Belly Up Tavern – Solana Beach – Tonight!!!

14/12/10 at 2.23pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Tears For FearsShout, Shout, Let It All Out!

GoINDEEpMusic will be out at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach tonight for an evening with Tears For Fears.  Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith will bring their eighties synthpop to San Diego County’s premiere live music venue.

I was lucky enough to check my electronic mail the moment the show was announced and scooped up a ticket immediately. Tickets went like hot cakes within minutes, so if you hesitated, you’re shit out of luck.

Tears for fear SFTBCI’ve adored this band from the moment I heard songs from their 1983 release The Hurting.  I can remember laying in bed listening to Rock Over London when I first heard songs like “Change” and “Pale Shelter.”  For those unfamiliar with Rock Over London, it was a syndicated radio program that usually aired sometime around midnight on Sunday night back in the eighties.  The show offered up some of the best British music that wasn’t available here in the States at the time.  After a lengthy kickass playlist, the show would conclude with the Top 5 songs on the U.K. charts that particular week.  The show is fully responsible for my love and appreciation of the British bands of the early to mid eighties, especially Tears For Fears.   I used to go to mall and ask the clueless associates working at National Record Mart, “do you have any Tears For Fears?” and they would always respond with “never heard of them.”

By the time band release the 1985 follow-up LP Songs From The Big Chair, their music became slightly more accessible and I was first in line to pick up a copy of SFTBC on cassette tape.  Here’s a fun fact about DJ Deep, the first compact disc I ever purchased after adding a CD player to my stereo system was The Hurting.  Tonight’s show is a long time coming…  I’ve never seen TFF before, and I can’t believe I will be taking it all in at my favorite live music venue, the Belly Up Tavern.  No word if there’s an opening act tonight.  Can’t wait!

Two weeks ago, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their blockbuster album “Songs From The Big Chair,” Tears For Fears convened in the historic LA Studio The Village to perform some of their biggest hits for an intimate audience of 50 superfans. Watch the performance below, and listen to an expanded version (including a  cover of the Radiohead tune “Creep”) only on Spotify Landmark.

REM young photoThis Saturday (November 22) the documentary “R.E.M.

The film will be included in the R.E.M. box set entitled “REMTV.”  For those unfamiliar, the 6-DVD box set will include, but not limited to the follow treasures:  MTV Unplugged 1991 & 2001 with outakes, VH1 Storytellers, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, live footage from around the world throughout the band’s entire career, along with the film “R.E.M. by MTV.”  I have to admit , when I first heard about this monster load, the fist thing that came to mind was… who raided my VCR tape collection?   View the entire 6-DVD collection tracklist here.  The collection drops Monday November 24 and should be available in your favorite DVD retail outlets, or you can order it here.  “REMTV” makes a great Christmas gift for the hardcore R.E.M fan in your life.

REM unpluggedThis completes a busy year for the retired rock stars.  Earlier this year, the legendary Athens, Georgia band unveiled a massive collection of over 130 rarities that spans their entire career, along with the entire MTV Unplugged Sessions from 1991 and 2001 on compact disc as well as on long player.  In addition, the group made available for the first time through iTunes their debut EP Chronic Town in a standalone digital CD download.  Can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for the retired legends.

Ride Reunites, Coachella Appearance Likely

14/11/20 at 1.49pm   /   by deepster19   /   2 Comments

Ride reunionWith the recent reunion success of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, fellow legendary British shoegazers Ride have decided to reunite and join in all the gazing fun.  The band initially announced 9 tour dates that begins in Glasgow (please inform Glasgow) next May 22, and includes an appearance at the Barcelona Primavera Festival on May 29.  The only U.S. date thus far is a visit to the Big Apple on June 4

While the news may come to some as the most significant music to one’s ears since the announcement that The Stone Roses were getting back together, others may react with simply “that’s nice, now I can get on with the rest of my day.”  I could say the news comes as a surprise, but when it comes to Heritage Acts, I wouldn’t be anymore surprised if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet.

Ride GBAAbout two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching Slowdive perform at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, while watching the band I thought to myself, man, the only thing better than this would be a Ride reunion, and there you go.  This isn’t the first time I’ve had Ride on the brain over the last month.  I was out with a friend back in October to see The Horrors, the band’s between set music included the Ride tune “Leave Them All Behind.”  I have since promptly dusted off the albums Nowhere and Going Black Again, as well as turned my friend on to Ride.

When I reflect back on the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to see many of my favorite bands from early nineties.  Lets reflect, shall we, in no particular order of course:  The Charlatans UK, Happy Monday (albeit a Shaun Ryder karaoke performance), My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Stone Roses, Pulp, James, Blur, and Slowdive.  Apologies if I missed anyone.  The Ride reunion will be epic, and I will be there, come hell or high water.

What made this reunion come together was Ride guitarist Andy Bell’s former band Beady Eye recently called it quits.  Don’t get overly concerned that the band has only announced 9 dates, there will be more, tour dates galore for that matter.  When Goldenvoice feels the time is right to reveal the 2015 Coachella Line up (I believe it will come much sooner than later this year), you can bet your bottom dollar that R-I-D-E will be on line 2, possibly right under Pink Floyd.  Talk about fun, Ride hitting the main stage right before Pink Floyd on Sunday night to close out the festival, that would be fun, right?  Not to mention, Mr. Bell owes us one,  his former band Beady Eye canceled their appearance at the festival earlier this year.  Add Ride to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

Here’s what Andy Bell had to say about the reunion:

“It’s going to be really cool. As we were all still friends, we always thought when the time was right we’d do it. And now the time is right.” 

Ride singer/guitarist Mark Gardener who always has been adamant that Ride would never reform, added this:

“People bought our records first time round…but our music has grown in significance since we’ve been away… We want to give the people what they want. We’d be idiots to go out and play a new album, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t make new music.” 

Not only was the time right, but I can only imagine the money is  much better than it was back in 1990.  To find out more about Ride, check out the piece I wrote on the band for Flashback Friday last year right here.

Now that we’ve gotten the Ride reunion out of the way, we start demanding a Catherine Wheel reunion.

Get reacquainted with Ride below:
