ST. VINCENT Inflames Saturday Night Live Show

6 April 2021

ST. VINCENT will reveal another side of herself with
her sixth album DADDY’S HOME, landing on 14 May.

Via a press statement, some weeks ago, we got this info about the new record:
“St. Vincent is back with a record of all-new songs. Warm Wurlitzers and wit, glistening
guitars and grit, with sleaze and style for days. Taking you from uptown to downtown
with the artist who makes you expect the unexpected. So sit back, light up, and by all
means have that bourbon waiting, because … DADDY’S HOME.”

Last weekend she appeared on American’s big Saturday Night Live show performing
the two singles she shared so far. The sensual mid-tempo groove of THE MELTING
OF THE SUN and Bowie‘s Fame-echoing disco turn-on PAY YOUR WAY IN PAIN.

Listen, watch, and get excited…

Several festival organisers already confirmed the good news. And
not small festivals only, also huge ones like Reading/Leeds and the
legendary Isle Of Wight festival. Also, great one-day events (such as
a big The Specials show) are announced.

Still Rockin’ In The Free World – Another NEIL YOUNG Live Album ‘WAY DOWN IN THE RUST BUCKET’ Out Now

Posted on by TUTV!

18 March 2021

Living legend NEIL YOUNG released another live album and concert film, titled
WAY DOWN IN THE RUST BUCKET a few weeks ago. From a 1990 concert with
Crazy Horse in Santa Cruz, California after his 18th LP Ragged Glory appeared.

Who needs another Neil Young live longplayer? Well nobody, but as he is one of
my all-time favorite singer/songwriters/rockers in the free world, it’s fun to hear
a set of great songs played live – at a high-quality level – for the first time.

Pitchfork says: “This joyous live document flips the energy of 1991’s Weld on its head, swapping out incendiary arena rockers for oddball picks and warm, woolly vibes… For a
dirty, grungy rock’n’roll band, there’s no better place to hold communion than the local
pub, where the separation between artist and audience can be so thin, it may as well be nonexistent. Maybe that’s why Way Down in the Rust Bucket feels so transcendent:
It captures the world’s greatest bar band in their spiritual home.”
Full review here. Score: 8/10.

The special issue contains a 4xLP box set, a 2xCD set and a deluxe edition
box set, with the latter format including a DVD, four LPs, and two CDS.
A digital release is also coming via the official Neil Young Archives site.
