Bands on Tour : Record Releases : PIL : Euro Vision : Brick by Brick in San Diego : Endnaswap

 Thing I want to discuss:

 

1.    Bands on tour

2.    Record Releases

3.    PIL and Euro Vision

4.    Brick By Brick San Diego

5.    Covers EdnaSwap

 

 

With all the Gothic and Industrial band reforming, and or going on tours as of late, it’s too bad Tina Root, Susan Wallace , and George Earth of Switchblade Symphony are not reforming! Rumor had it, when they dissolved, they had material yet to be released! Cleopatra remixes, and repackages them over and over again, but to see them tour, and possibly release new material would be indeed awesome squared.

 

PIL competed in Euro Vision representing Ireland, appears the song “Hawaii” is dedicated to his wife who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. My engineer again has a weird cosmic connection, his father years ago (way back in the 80’s) hired PIL’s sound engineer. So he used hear all kinds of really cool stories about John Lydon. That’s for another blog!

 

Sadly, with the passing of Pete Steele over a decade back, Type O Negative is over. I was lucky however, and was able to see them a few times. Anyway, we still have the great albums, and interviews.

 

Looks like Love and Rockets will be hitting the road in May, and will be playing at the Cruel World Festival, thankfully I was able to get tickets!

 

Seems many bands like Birthday Massacre, She Past Away, and The 69 Eyes will be playing at Brick by Brick in San Diego. So far, I have tickets to 69 eyes, and She Past Away, as to Birthday Massacre, I’m not sure if I’ll get tickets as I will be seeing them in May, who knows???

 

 

Finally, Ednaswap. I’m not sure where they fit really, but I have always thought they were an awesome. Several years back they wrote Torn, which was covered by Natalie Imbruglia, and her version became a huge hit, and Madonna even covered one of their songs  Sanctuary. While they are no longer active as a band, they are indeed worth a listen.
