Neon Neon, debut UK live date
Welsh musical maverick Gruff Rhys and LA based electronic/hip-hop producer Boom Bip will be lighting up London on 20th March with their first ever Neon Neon UK live date. The headline performance takes place at the capital’s Fabric nightclub and with Chrome Hoof, Erol Alkan and Four Tet also on the bill the event promises to be a cracking start to the Easter weekend.
Stainless Style album, out 17th March
Neon Neon’s Fabric showcase comes 3 days after the release of their debut album, Stainless Style – a highly creative slice of conceptual power-pop inspired by the incredible life of the world’s first playboy engineer, John DeLorean. Gruff Rhys and Boom Bip are joined on the record by a host of talented guests, including; Fab Moretti from The Strokes, Yo Majesty, Har Mar Superstar, The Magic Numbers and Spank Rock. The end result was recently described as a “terrific collaboration” [4 out of 5] by Q magazine, has caused the NME to forewarn their readers to “miss it at your peril”, and been awarded 4 out of 5 reviews by both Uncut and The Observer Music Monthly.
I Lust U single, out 24th March
Neon Neon’s fully polished Stainless Style album will be closely followed by the release of their I Lust U single. An ice cool duet between Gruff and guest vocalist Cate Le Bon, I Lust U is a lovelorn-lament underpinned throughout by Boom Bip’s stylish, snyth-lead production. The song can be heard here, and the video viewed here.
Neon Neon are also performing at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin Texas, and further releases and Neon Neon UK live dates will be announced soon.

The release of ‘I Need Something’ follows the spectacular success of Newton’s Number One & Double Platinum debut album, ‘Hand Built By Robots’, which has so far spent two weeks at Number One on the UK album chart, as well as being a permanent fixture in the iTunes Top Ten since release (including six weeks at No1). Newton has just been nominated in the Best Male category of the 2008 Brit Awards.
Newton has also started spreading the word globally with his first North American and European live dates - a highlight being an especially exciting performance that took place in a hot air balloon high over the Swiss Alps for a radio broadcast.
A true DIY phenomenon (Myspace plays now well over 1.5 million) Newton has become a genuine grass roots success story as his sell-out EP’s, headline dates and support slots have gathered new fans and rave reviews alike. Newton is playing his biggest UK Tour to date through February and March 2008.

Music News Press Release Single Release The Courteeners Tour Dates Tour News ] ‘EMERGENCY’ is the brand new album from The Pigeon Detectives and is released on 26th May 2008 – exactly two days shy of a year after their debut ‘Wait For Me’ came out. It crashed into the charts at number three and has since achieved platinum status, a first for their independent label Dance to The Radio. A single ‘This Is An Emergency’ is released on the 12th May, which some fans may remember from their sell out dates last year. The group, who recently opened the NME Awards Shows with a blistering headlining appearance at the Astoria, head out for a full UK tour in May which over 70,000 people have already snapped up tickets for.
The band (Matt Bowman – vocals / Ryan Wilson – guitar / Jimmi Naylor – drums / Oli Main – guitar / Dave Best- bass) recorded ‘Emergency’ in Monnow Valley in Wales with producer Stephen Street and it’s currently being mixed by Cenzo Townshend with whom they worked with on the last record.
“Emergency could describe the last 12 months. It’s been fairly frantic, everything’s been going at breakneck speed between gigs and touring and festivals. I think we’ve definitely written a record rather than a number of songs to play live,” Matt Bowman
The Pigeon Detectives turned down several (lucrative!) offers from other labels after the success of their first record – which produced 4 hit singles – in order to re-sign with Leeds label Dance To The Radio. After all, they got it right first time around …

Pink Floyd hit a little legal problem with the 40th anniversary edition of ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. The booklet has a page just reading “This particular page has been left blank for legal reasons”, as they couldn’t get clearance for an image included in a collage by Syd. Not sure why you’d bother putting that in when you could just go on to the next collage? Anyway the high lords of prog have bundled a three CD reissue, one in stereo, one in mono and one with all the 1967 singles, some B-sides and previously unreleased versions of songs, with a little booklet containing some previously unseen notebooks from the late Syd Barrett.
The track listings are as follows for CD 1 and 2 (the stereo/mono versions of the same album remember):
1. Astronomy Domine
2. Lucifer Sam
3. Matilda Mother
4. Flaming
5. Pow R. Toc H.
6. Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk
7. Interstellar Overdrive
8. The Gnome
9. Chapter 24
10. The Scarecrow
11. Bike
While the bonus CD has the following,
1. Arnold Layne

One Night Only release their first single ‘You & Me’ on Vertigo on the 29th October and their debut album follows in January.
Press release
Formed in 2003 (which seems an awfully long time ago when you consider that singer George has only just turned 17), One Night Only started out as a bunch of school friends ‘just making noise’ in their rural hometown of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. They went on to spend the following two years tearing the vaulted roof off the local scene with unrefined gigs showcasing punk bastard pop way beyond their tender years. It was only a matter of time before One Night Only broke out of Helmsley. They knuckled down, wrote some songs and last October Steve Lamacq began spinning the demo of ‘You And Me’, prompting the band to really take themselves seriously. One Night Only signed to Vertigo, home of Razorlight and The Killers and then hit the road for months, supporting The Enemy, Milburn and The Coral and embarked on a jaunt around the nation’s Club NMEs.
Already a fan, Zane Lowe picked ‘You & Me’ as his ‘Hottest Record In The World’ this week and demo versions have already been played on Radio 1 and Xfm. One Night Only are also confirmed to do a session with Steve Lamacq on the 10th September. They have a busy Autumn ahead. They are currently in the studio with the legendary producer Steve Lilywhite (U2, Morrissey) putting the final touches to their debut album due for release in January 2008. One Night Only have been confirmed as support for The Pigeon Detectives UK tour, have a bunch of dates with The Rifles, more Club NME dates and a headline show at the London Barfly (full dates overleaf).

LEAD TRACK “DOWN BOY”
RELEASE DATE: 23RD JULY ON DRESS UP/FICTION
THE EP
YYYs = SLUTTY: The drunk, the nerd and the goth strike back with their new EP of unbridled older material. It all began with an EP back in 2001, and now YYYs revisit and revel in the five song format a second time round with Is Is. “I fucking love EPs!” says Brian Chase. Songs for the EP were written in 2004 in between touring behind their first record Fever to Tell.
Written amidst one of the most turbulent and emotionally unstable periods in YYYs history, for whatever reason the angst that colored that point in time translates erotically into a sexually charged body of songs. On their choice of producer, Karen O intones; “Nick Launay was the natural choice having produced PIL Flowers of Romance, collectively a favorite between us. I put that record on and want to stuff my mouth with raw hamburger meat.”. Is Is is an expression of similar sordid energy, the rawness is unavoidable and good for you too!
THE FILM
YYYs have captured all this excitement in the EP recordings. In fact, they love playing them so much they’ve made a special live film to accompany the EP with co-directors KK Barrett (Sofia Coppola films) and Lance Bangs (video director - Sonic Youth, Nirvana and producer of Director’s Cut series of DVDs - Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham). Recorded in night-vision at Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn on 7th May, the band played 2 sets that night to just 100 lucky fans each time - the first for a mixed audience and the second for females only. There will be 2 filmed versions of lead track Down Boy - one live, and one to EP audio.
EP TRACKLISTING:
1.Rockers to Swallow*
2.Down Boy*
3.Kiss Kiss
4.Isis
5.10×10*
*previously only available on the Tell Me What Rockers To Swallow live DVD with the exception of Down Boy, a demo version of which appeared on a limited edition split 7″ single with Liars in Japan and Australia.
FORMATS:
The EP will be available on CD, double gatefold 7″ vinyl, single track download and digital bundle. All formats will carry all 5 tracks, making this a special, non chart-eligible, release.
Artwork by Julian Gross from Liars
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are Karen O (vocals), Nick Zinner (Guitar) and Brian Chase (drums)
Please note - Yeah Yeah Yeahs will not play the UK this year, so this is your fix for 2007! EP title is “Is Is” with a space in between the first “s” and the second “I” whereas track “Isis” has no space. Confused? Don’t be.

Dress Up DVD Liars Music News Single Release Tour News Yeah Yeah Yeahs ] Previously Unheard Early Frank Zappa Recordings Released As Pal Recording Studios’ Archives Are Unearthed After 43 Years, and Ex-Mothers Don Preston and Bunk Gardner’s New CDs Find Them Still Joined At The Hip!
6/4/07 - New York - Formidable record label and publishing company, Crossfire Publications, is in the process of releasing a series of recordings from the pre- and post-Mothers of Invention eras, with many unreleased tracks featured. The Pal Recording Studios recordings are of enormous historical value, as they were Frank Zappa’s very first studio tracks. The symbiotic relationship Zappa had with Paul Buff and Pal formed the core of his later output.
Paul Buff and Frank Zappa pioneered many of the recording techniques and musical styles that continue on today by using the studio itself as a dynamic music instrument, rather than a static capture environment. At Pal, the classic divide between engineer and musician was non-existent.
As the most anticipated releases in Crossfire’s release schedule, the Pal Recording Studios CD series was developed by Crossfire’s owner Greg Russo along with Paul Buff , owner of the Cucamonga, California-based studio from 1957-1964. This exclusive series will feature many highly prized rarities and unreleased tracks drawn from Paul Buff’s mixdown tapes and reference discs.
When Pal was not booked for artists on Buff’s record labels (Pal, Emmy, Yukon, Plaza and Vigah), a rotating crew of musicians, The Pal Studio Band , regularly laid down tracks with the hope of placing them with major record labels. The band featured regular appearances by young guitarist Frank Zappa, who learned recording studio operations from Paul Buff.
Records cut by Buff and guitarist Ronnie Williams were issued on Buff’s in-house Emmy label as by The Masters, with one track (”Breaktime”) featuring dual lead guitars by Zappa and Williams. Other releases with Zappa involvement from this period include The Tornadoes, Ron Roman, Baby Ray And The Ferns, Brian Lord & The Midnighters, The Heartbreakers, Ned And Nelda and Bob Guy, among many others. Over a half dozen unreleased titles with Zappa as part of The Pal Studio Band will be covered in the series along with the aforementioned singles.
Concurrent with his Pal activities, Paul Buff started working with Art Laboe, owner of Original Sound Records. After the sale of Pal Studios to Frank Zappa in 1964, Buff became Original Sound’s studio engineer. Besides recording many Original Sound artists, Buff made his own recordings for the label. This output started in 1963 as The Bongo Teens, followed by The Hollywood Persuaders, The Rotations, Mr. Clean, The Catalinas, Lori Allison, The Buff Organization, The Friendly Torpedoes (with The Music Machine’s Sean Bonniwell) and Ricky Dean. Non-Original Sound clients, such as the entire output of the All American label (known for Strawberry Alarm Clock’s “Incense And Peppermints”) and Sugarloaf, were also engineered by Buff.
Between the Pal Studios masters and Paul Buff masters for Original Sound, Crossfire is expected to release about a dozen CDs.
Keyboardist Don Preston and woodwind player Bunk Gardner, members of Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention from 1966-1969, are represented by Crossfire Publications’ collections of their output before and after that group: Vile Foamy Ectoplasm (Don Preston) and It’s All Bunk! (Bunk Gardner).
Bunk Gardner’s CD is his first-ever solo release, while Preston’s disc is a revised and expanded edition of his 1993 collection. Gardner’s CD spans the commercial jazz of Bud Wattles & His Orchestra from 1959 to free jazz improvisations to a live Grandmothers recording from 1981. Don Preston’s collection covers equally interesting exploratory ground from 1967 to 1993.
All of these Crossfire releases will be available at retail and through dozens of paid download services.
