LIAM GALLAGHER & JOHN SQUIRE Live On Amercican Telly With ‘I’M A WHEEL’ From Their Brand New LP

Posted on by JL

10 April 2024

Manchester‘s superstar duo LIAM GALLAGHER and The Stone Roses‘ JOHN SQUIRE unleashed their much-anticipated self-titled, collaborative at the beginning of last
month.

It’s a retro psych blues record stuffed with catchy tunes. Nothing more, nothing less,
but oh so laid-backly addictive. Must have played it for about 100 times so far. It topped the UK Album Charts.

The duo played a handful of gigs in Europe/UK, and flew over the ocean yesterday
to perform on The Tonight Show With Jim Fallony. Surprisingly, they didn’t go for one of the two singles, but for an energetic rendition of mid-tempo blues rock burner I’M A WHEEL.

THE WAEVE – Graham Coxon (Blur) And Rose Elinor Dougall – Kill It On ‘Later With Jools’

Posted on by JL

British duo THE WAEVE – aka Graham Coxon (Blur) and songstress
Rose Elinor Dougall – uncaged their first collaborative, self-titled album
last February. It got a 80% score on Metacritic (based on 10 reviews).

One of the singles, named KILL ME AGAIN is Turn Up The Volume‘s standout
favourite. It’s a riveting, promptly infectious groove propelled by a pounding
synth/bass riff, spiced with Coxon on saxophone and mesmerizing (duet) vocals.

The duo played it last weekend (along with the mesmeric piece Can I Call You)
on the famous British music show ‘Later… with Jools Holland.’

Listen/watch.

DEPECHE MODE Performed Two Beauties With The BBC’s SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA

Posted on by JL

Darkwave pop Goths DEPECHE MODE released their new LP – their 15th – named Memento Mori 3 weeks ago. The first one without original member Andy Fletcher
who passed away last May – only 60 – following an aortic dissection.

To promote the LP the duo – Dave Gahan and Martin Gore – went to the BBC Radio 2
Piano Room 2 days ago, in a series of artists performing with the BBC Orchestra

They played two songs, Walking In My Shoes (from their 1993 album Songs Of Faith And Devotion) and Ghosts Again the single of the new full-length (already more than 13 million streams on Spotify).

Dave Gahan about singing Walking In My Shoes for the first time in a long while: “I really don’t remember recording that song and it was a particular time when we were all having too much fun outside of work and I guess it caught up with us, but it’s one of those songs that never gets old when you perform it.”

Watch/listen.
