Frank Black’s Reaction To Shattuck Firing, “Big Woop-Dee-Doo”

13/12/19 at 9.57pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

frank-black366Pixies frontman Frank Black has broken the silence regarding recently fired touring bassist Kim Shattuck. In an interview with Yahoo Music, Charles Thompson had this to say:
The big question mark is, if it was going so well, why are you changing it up again? I guess it’s a fair question, but what I would say is, just because some shows went well or a recording session went well with somebody, that doesn’t mean that now you guys are married and this is forever. It’s not really how it works when you’re a band. And it’s hard to explain to people, especially if they get emotionally attached to one person…

Frankly, you don’t want to explain it to anybody – it’s a lot of its personal, private shit. It’s like politics and sports and people’s personal lives have all been smeared together in this modern world. It’s a very presumptuous attitude about a lot of things. [People say] ’Oh you’re shifting something in your world – we demand a statement as to why.’ I’m not the mayor, this isn’t the bus service for a town. This is a rock band. There’s been a shift in the lineup, big woop-dee-doo…as far as we’re concerned it ain’t that big of a deal.

If you’re beginning to feel like the Pixies are in the news every other day, that’s because they are. How Fun! The track “Indie Cindy” from the EP-1, was recently named as the 30th best track of 2013 by GoINDEEpMusic.

Flashback Friday: Swervedriver

13/12/15 at 9.50pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

swervedriverSwervedriver is an English alternative rock band that formed circa 1989. The Oxford based band is best known for their influential contributions to the British shoegazing movement of the early nineties. Initially, the band was active between 1989-1998 having multiple line-ups and releasing four studio albums. The two mainstays are singer/guitarists Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge.

The band debuted in 1990 with a series of three critically acclaimed EP’s prior to releasing their full-length debut Raise in 1991. Each EP produced a single; Son Of Mustang Ford, Rave Down, and Sandblasted, all would eventually be included on Raise. The album Raise is a brilliant piece of early nineties British rock that should be on everyone’s wall of sound.

After a lengthy U.S. tour supporting Soundgarden, they experienced a line-up change before releasing two more EP’s and then their sophomore album Mezcal Head in 1993. The well-received classic album fuses a mix of Shoegazing and grunge with a hint of American indie. The album produced two alternative rock singles “Duel” and “Last Train To Satansville.”

Due to a palethra of record label issue, the band’s third album Ejector Seat Reservation was never released in North America. Going against the band’s request the label chose “Last Day On Earth as the lead single. The idea was to capitalize on the popularity of Btitpop at the time. because the song sounded as close to Oasis as they were going to get. The band’s poorest selling album is still held in high regards with the critics, but still remains an import-only in the States.

Shortly before breaking up in 1998 the band signed a three-album deal with DGC Records. In typical Swervedriver fashion that deal went to hell quickly for a number of reasons. They were able to get their final record 99th Dream released through an independent source, along with two more EP’s before calling it quits.

Franklin went on to record as Toshack Highway and later collaborate with Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino in Madnetic Morning. Longtime members Graham Bonner and Adi Vines formed Skyscape.

After much-spectulation Swervedriver reunited in the Fall of 2007, citing the success and positive reaction the Pixies had received since 2004. The band kicked-off their reunion tour at non other than the Coachella Music Festival in AoPril of 2008. Now I don’t consider myself a “Swervie” but I was extremely excited about the event….. I ran from the beer garden to the Mojave to ensure my spot on the rail. Eventually, the rest of the deepsters arrived on the scene and at that point I finally turned around to see there wasn’t anyone else in the tent. How embarrassing! ….. not for me, for America.

This week the band released their first piece of recorded music in nearly 15 years. The song “Deep Wound” first surfaced on Jimmy Fallon back in 2012. The new single was made available on iTunes this past Tuesday. Listen to the track below.

Swervedriver’s 4 studio albums include:
Raise 1991
Mezcal Heal 1993
Ejector Seat Reservation 1996
99th Dream 1998

bobbyLegendary Scottish psychedelic dance rockers Primal Scream have recently shared a video for the track “Goodbye Johnny” (watch below). The song is from the band’s tenth studio album More Light, released on June 18.

The Bobby Gillespie fronted band also revealed that they will be returning to the U.S. in late spring 2014 for a twelve date run. The band played six California dates back in October, which I unfortunately missed out on. The possibility for Coachella exists as the band is playing Mexico City’s Vive Latino Festival in late March, and their U.S.tour “begins” April 30 in Houston, Texas (see dates below). Primal Scream is on my short list of Bands That I Need To See Live.

In other related Coachella news this week:
Dum Dum Girls revealed that their appearance is likely based on their tour “ending” on April 8 in San Francisco. However, you’ll have to wait and see on this one, since the tour does hit West Coast cities early on.

Shattuck Cites “Overly Enthusiastic” As Cause For Termination

13/12/12 at 9.51pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

2013PixiesEM051213
Ex-Pixies touring bassist Kim Shattuck revealed an incident to U.K. Rag NME yesterday that she claims led to her firing. Ms.
Shattuck alleges that her “overly enthusiastic” behavior at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles way back on September 12, was the beginning of the end to her Pixies career.

Call me crazy but….. I think there might have been slightly more to it.

Read all about Shattuck’s side of the story below (courtesy of NME):

“I was surprised. Everything had gone well, the reviews were all good and the fans were super-nice about everything. They were like, ‘We love you, New Kim!’ We said goodbye at the airport and the following morning the manager called me and said: ‘The band has made the decision to go with another bass player. I was shocked.”

“I get the feeling they’re more introverted people than I am. Nobody really talked about deep issues, at least out loud. There was a show at the Mayan in Los Angeles where I got overly enthusiastic and jumped into the crowd, and I know they weren’t thrilled about that. When I got offstage the manager told me not to do that again. I said, ‘Really, for my own safety?’ And he said, ‘No, because the Pixies don’t do that.”‘

“I would have preferred if they told me face to face,” Shattuck said, “but they’re
nice people.”

Pixies Reveal New Bassist & Video

13/12/09 at 7.39pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

pazWithout even an official whisper from the band concerning the termination of touring bassist Kim Shattuck, earlier this morning the Pixies announced her replacement. The band revealed that Paz Lenchantin will be the bassist on their forthcoming 2014 tour in North and South America, and Europe. Lenchantin, whose resume includes A Perfect Circle and Billy Corgan’s (Smashing Pumpkins) side project Zwan, takes over for the recently departed New Kim and original bassist Old Kim. Although it can’t be confirmed, we can only assume that Ms. Lenchantin’s middle name has to be Kimberly.

Drummer David Lovering addressed the Lenchantin hiring in an email sent to fans earlier today:

“We are really looking forward to playing with her on these dates. Working with different bass players is very new for the band, but we’re having a great time doing it.”

In addition to the bassist announcement, the Pixies also unveiled yet another video, this time for the EP-1 track “Another Toe In The Ocean” (watch below).

I look forward to seeing Paz in Phoenix on February 24, and again Weekend 1 of the Coachella Music Festival in April.

Shattuck Out As Pixies Bassist

13/12/04 at 10.29pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Kim-Shattuck-300x300Moments after completing the first leg of their world tour in Europe, the Pixies relieved new bassist Kim Shattuck of her duties. Ms. Shattuck was hired back on July 1 to replace original member Kim Deal who decided to resign. New Kim, which lasted a hair under six months, plans to dive back into The Muffs.

Shattuck delivered the news of her departure via Twitter and Facebook:

“Super disappointed to learn that my time with the Pixies ended today. Amazing experience. Looking forward to focusing my attention back on the Muffs and our upcoming new album. All the best to everyone.”

Speculation has already started on who will replace Old Kim and New Kim. Here are a few names to keep your eyes on: Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Kim Clarke (Defunkt), Kim Warnick (Fastbacks), Kim Kardashian (Kanye West), and the possible return of Kim Deal.

The Pixies begin the North American leg of their tour on January 15 in Toronto.

HAIM Announce 2014 Coachella Appearance

13/11/22 at 1.13pm   /   by deepster19   /   18 Comments

HaimThe HAIM sisters announced yesterday that they will bringing their indie-pop to the 2014 Coachella Festival. The band took a slightly similar approach to the one Arcade Fire used only days before, by announcing their appearance on their world tour dates (see below). The one difference in the ladies announcement is an attempt to trick the trained eye by sneaking in Las Vegas, NV. on April 17. The ‘”we hope you forget about Coachella because were playing other show around Coachella” tactic never works. My guess in line 3.

Don’t miss HAIM this week on Saturday Night Live. SNL must be on location in Germany this week…

In other Coachella news:
An alleged leak in OutKast camp has the duo reuniting at the 2014 Festival. One of the things this Festival does well is keeping things quiet until at least January. I can’t imagine an act revealing an appearance so far in advance. Writing it for “pretend” on their tour dates, yes, but talking about it openly in November… ain’t buying it. I could be wrong.

BTW, everyone knows that the most successful duo of all time is not Andre 3000 and Big Boi, its Hall and Freaking Oates.

The Arcade Fire announced that there will be a strict “fancy” dress code enforced on their forthcoming Reflektor tour.

Check out some of the many affordable options available to you at The Men’s Warehouse in Indio, California. Prices start out as low as a nights stay at the 6.

Another Near R.E.M. Reunion

13/11/16 at 10.12pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Music R.E.M.Those that turned out last night at the 40 Watt Club to see Kevin Kinney and The Roamin Countrymen & Peter Buck, got more than their five bucks worth. Bill Berry and Mike Mills joined Peter on stage at the historic Athens, Georgia live music venue. The almost R.E.M. reunion was missing frontman Michael Stipe, who (allegedly) was in the audience. The three-piece played “Don’t Go Back To Rockville” (watch below), from their 1984 release Reckoning. This is the second time since June that we’ve had a near R.E.M. reunion. Bill, Mike, and Peter also played together at Peter’s wedding reception. Apparently, the four hometown heroes were seen on the streets of Athens the day before, so the aRe wE theM appearance came as no surprise.

Danger Mouse latest projects include U2 & Broken Bells

13/11/16 at 10.03pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

dangerIt was announced earlier this week that Brian Joseph Burton aka Danger Mouse, is producing the new U2 album. The U2 project is in addition to the new Broken Bells music that surfaced recently. Broken Bells, the collaboration of Mr. Mouse and The Shin’s frontman James Mercer, are scheduled to release their sophomore album After The Disco on January 14.

It appears as if Danger has been working with U2 since 2010 on this project, and the finished product is due out in April 2014. The band is said to be procuring a corporate sponsor to unveil ads for the album during next February’s Super Bowl. Now that should insure the LP’s commercial success… The new album will be the follow-up to 2009’s No Line On The Horizon. The band’s latest song “Ordinary Love” will be released on Record Store Day Black Friday, and will also be included on the soundtrack to the movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Is the 360 tour still going on…

It’s probably only coincidence that the album release date and a big U.S. Festival happen in the same month. Probably only coincidence, but stranger things have happened.

Made Of Stone Movie Review

13/11/10 at 9.09pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

stone_roses_made_of_stone_ver2SPOILER ALERT

Last evening my wife and I attended a private screening of the Shane Meadows film Made Of Stone. Well… it wasn’t completely private, as there was one other woman in the theater.

The film made its much-anticipated premiere across North American screens last night. The feature presentation chronicles the legendary Stone Roses from their reformation announcement in 2011, to their three scheduled shows at Heaton Park in Manchester in late June of 2012, in what has become the most improbable reunion ever. Mr. Meadows brilliantly provides the back story and history of the band by utilizing never seen before footage from the eighties, then appropriately sprinkles it throughout the reunion story.

20131101_stone-roses-made-of-stone_91I’m sure the question on everyone’s mind is… “Did He Cry?” I will say this, as a huge fan of the band, the part about the surprise free gig in Warrington’s Parr Hall is emotionally draining. To watch the entire day of May 23, 2012 unfold; from the announcement of the show, to the distribution of wristbands, and finally the show itself, was an amazing journey. The stories shared by fans of what the band means to them while waiting in line were passionate; the utter joy of those receiving a wristband and the disappointment of those being left standing in line without one is heartfelt. The segment is capped off with a girl holding the setlist after the show, which almost… got me choked up.

I know that Shane has been criticized journalistically for not digging deeper into to what actually happened at the Amsterdam show that led to drummer Reni temporarily walking away from the band. I’m down with the way Shane presented it, because we already knew it was going to be a happy ending. Allowing the band the privacy to work things out might have led to the magical mega extended performance of “Fools Gold” from Heaton Park that concludes the movie. That magnificent 10 minute plus rendition of “Fools Gold” was well worth the $11.50 plus fandango fees I paid to get into the joint. A band that hasn’t played together for nearly16 years doesn’t rehearse that in 10 weeks, it’s the end result of being one of THE greatest bands ever…Just sayin.

This film is a must-see on the big screen if you’re a fan of the band. The ultimate indeep experience that Shane Meadows provides is unforgettable, but not, I repeat not, a tear jerker.

Encore performances of the documentary are currently being shown in select theaters. Do your eyes and ears a favor.
Check out the Made Of Stone website for a list of U.S. screenings.

The film drops in the U.S. on Blu-ray, DVD, and VCR Tape on December 3.
