Electrelane are moving from strength to strength. Soon to be out on the road with the infamous Arcade Fire before heading onto a number of their own headline dates around the world, the new album No Shouts No Calls will be released in April - the first fresh material since 2005’s Axes. And still they continue to tease and tantalize us with yet another all too exciting announcement.

Electrelane will be playing a very intimate and strictly fans-only gig within the next two weeks. There are a very limited 100 tickets available and the only way to get your hands on a pair is to check out all the details announced inside this month’s too pure podcast.

The Answer round off a triumphant year with the release of their new single ‘Come Follow Me’ on December 18th 2006 through Albert Productions.

“Delightfully unreconstructed and properly guileless foot-on-the monitor rock. It’s all here, fret board shredding solos, jet engine vocals. Marvelous” (Andrew Mueller – The Guardian)

Available as a digital download, this high-speed riff-tastic track is accompanied by a brilliant 60’s inspired video where Evangelical frontman, Cormac Neeson, tempts TV viewers to part with cash and find God whilst being led into temptation himself with attractive telephone operators and other er… appealing vices. An x-rated version will be available to view online through the band’s official site www.theanswer.ie whilst the clean ‘church go-er’ version will be released throughout Europe on all networks!

The Black Strobe podcast (located at http://www.remixblackstrobe.com/) has already offered fans a free version of new single ‘Shining Bright Star’, and a specially created mix from the duo’s beat-meister Ivan Smagghe. And now the podcast has been updated with an audio treat from vocalist and frontman Arnaud Rebotini, entitled ‘An Arnaud Rebotini selection’.

Kick-starting with Pierre Schaffer’s forays into sound experimentation, the listener is then taken on a rock and roll journey that encompasses music from Sonic Youth, Shellac, The Rolling Stones, Einstürzende Neubauten and finally landing in the misleadingly safe world of Sufjan Stevens. Wow!

Listen Now: http://www.remixblackstrobe.com/

Today also sees the full single release of ‘Shining Bright Star’, a week upfront of the release of the Parisian duo’s new full length remix album, ‘A Remix Selection’, which is out on Monday on 4th December through Playlouderecordings.

Because iTunes has a lot of crap they insist is included in the rss feed for a podcast I have used Feedburner to add it all in. I am not vouching for the accuracy or the speed of update of this feed but it should work in iTunes. If you hit trouble do let me know though.

Copy this link for the iTunes feed

Personally, I much prefer iPodder as my podcatcher. I recommend you try it out.

Welcome to the first Betweenplanets Gig Podcast (or GigCast). I met up with the up and coming Reading band The Sand Creek Massacre for a chat before their appearance on stage at the legendary After Dark club.

You can download in the interview and hear some of their music below.

GigCast#1

You can subscribe to this as a podcast buy using the link below in your podcatcher.

Post interview, the boys went on to do a storming set for the Reading crowd amongst a very strong line up; they played with flair, panache and real showmanship. The crowd was won over and taken enthusiastically through the songs on their set that did justice to their great love of the historic local club.The following songs, available from www.thesandcreekmassacre.co.uk, were used with the kind permission of the band.

1. Feeling It Once Again
2. Take The Time
3. Won’t Let Us Down

An Apology: During the interview I said that Cherokee were massacred at Sand Creek. I was wrong, it was in fact members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
