Hart had followed The Libertines to the North of England on the train with his Super 8 camera with a view to making a music video for the band. Hart would later fly out to Paris to direct the ‘For Lovers’ video to accompany the single Pete was on the verge of releasing with Wolfman in the spring. Pete was still playing solo gigs, advertising them on his website a day or two before they took place. He’d already recorded ‘For Lovers’ and was desperate to record the B-side; it was a beautiful song and he was convinced it would be a hit. He’d also finished recording the debut Babyshambles single. But Pete and Carl still wanted to write together. They needed to collaborate and bond after the debacle of their trip to the Welsh valleys, and they had a second Libertines album to write. So they decided to head to Paris. -

Primal Scream Juntam-Se Ao Cartaz Do Nos Alive'19
COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA 02 / 04 / 2019 NOS apresenta dia 12 de julho PRIMAL SCREAM JUNTAM-SE AO CARTAZ DO NOS ALIVE'19 Os escoceses Primal Scream são a mais recente confirmação do NOS Alive’19. A banda liderada por Bobby Gillespie, figura incontornável da música alternativa, sobe ao Palco NOS dia 12 de julho juntando-se assim aos já anunciados Vampire Weekend, Gossip e Izal no segundo dia do festival. Com mais de 30 anos de carreira, Primal Scream trazem até ao Passeio Marítimo de Algés o novo álbum com data de lançamento previsto a 24 de maio, “Maximum Rock N Roll: The Singles”, trabalho que reúne os singles da banda desde 1986 até 2016 em dois volumes. A compilação começa com “Velocity Girl”, passando por temas dos dois primeiros álbuns como são exemplo "Ivy Ivy Ivy" e "Loaded". A banda que tinha apresentado em outubro de 2018 a mais recente compilação de singles originais do quarto álbum de 1994 com “Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings”, juntando-se ao lendário produtor Tom Dowd, a David Hood (baixo) e Roger Hawkins (bateria) no Ardent Studios em Memphis, está de volta às gravações e revelam algo nunca antes ouvido e uma banda que continua a surpreender. Primal Scream foi uma parte fundamental da cena indie pop dos anos 80, depois do galardoado disco "Screamadelica" vencedor do Mercury Prize em 1991, considerado um dos maiores de todos os tempos, a banda seguiu por influências de garage rock e dance music até ao último trabalho discográfico “Chaosmosis” lançado em 2016. -

Dusting 'Em Off: Lush – Lovelife
Dusting ‘Em Off: Lush – Lovelife consequenceofsound.net/2012/04/dusting-em-off-lush-lovelife/ 4/28/2012 Lush’s third and final album, Lovelife, turns 16 this year. A sixteenth birthday is admittedly an unusual time to revisit an album, as tradition dictates that such occasions be reserved for anniversaries divisible by five, but Lovelife is one of those albums that has and will likely continue to remain uncelebrated and forgotten on its milestone anniversaries. Sure, Lush still retains a dedicated, loyal following and continues to gain new fans, but how often do they appear in critics’ “top albums and songs of the ’90s” lists? Not often enough. One of the guarantees in the world of music journalism is that any discussion of the history and relevance of 1/3 shoegaze will inevitably focus on how Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and Mary Chain pioneered the shimmering style, while My Bloody Valentine perfected it. Sometimes, Slowdive and Ride will be included, but Lush will likely earn a passing reference at best. Despite generally positive reviews and a commercial viability that found the London quartet playing television shows everywhere and successfully touring American cities other British bands of the ’90s never dared to tread, Lush has seemingly been forgotten or omitted for consideration as one of the shoegaze greats. This diminished legacy is at least partly because Lovelife is when Lush allegedly “went pop.” “Ladykillers” opens Lovelife with an attention-seizing circular melody and spunky vocals from Miki Berenyi that are no longer floating along in a sea of reverb. Confidently at the forefront, Berenyi eviscerates Anthony Kiedis, Matt Sharp, and men with transparent agendas and dubious attitudes towards women everywhere with an infectiously sarcastic wit. -
S New Albums Reviewed
A Different Kind Of Racket: June/July’s New Albums Reviewed Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world I was watching Wimbledon the other day when I came to the startling realisation that tennis is boring. Hoping that all it might need was a good soundtrack, I reduced the volume on the telly, replacing it with the morose musings of Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain. Much Better! Experiencing yet another epiphany I turned the TV off altogether, allowing the Reid brothers the attention they fully deserve. By JOHN BITTLES The following albums may not reach the hallowed heights of The JAMC, but they will entertain you a lot more than a couple of posh boys hitting a ball really hard ever could. So, get yourself some Pimms, a bowl of strawberries and cream, and let us begin. To prove my point we’ll start with the rich, woozy pop experiments of Helsinki-based singer/producer Jaakko Eino Kalevi and his rather wonderful self-titled debut LP. Taking the fuggy haze of modern psychedelia and injecting it with a generous helping of pop hooks and a sensuous sense of groove helps create one of the outstanding albums of the summer. Laid-back, dreamy and always charming, the record’s ten tracks touch on funk, electronica, chill-wave, indie, rock and more. Deeper Shadows contains a loose bassline to die for, Jek is a slow, languid jam, while Don’t Ask Me Why should be in the dictionary under the definition of cool. With Jaakko’s treated falsetto quite low in the mix, the record hits the listener like an aural wave, seducing them quietly but surely until all resistance is swept away. -
Kevin Shields the Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North
Buddyhead | http://www.buddyhead.com/music/kevinshields/ 19 Jan 2005 Kevin Shields The Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North The Icarus Line got to play with Primal Scream was in New York, and TI have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the time, because Kevin Shields wasn’t performing at the show. The word was that Kevin had to be at his brother’s wedding instead. It definitely added to the myth that I, and many other people as well, had built into our heads that Mr. Shields was some kind of mysterious recluse whose appearances could never be bargained on. The story of Kevin’s band My Bloody Valentine, and their demise, has up to this point sounded closer to folklore than something that happened less than a decade ago. Like a twisted version of the game “telephone”, My Bloody Valentine fans have perpetuated the tallest of tales ranging from master tapes of unreleased albums being set afire, to band reunions in far dark warehouses in Berlin. When The Icarus Line had the opportunity of again opening for Primal Scream, it would be a tour with them across the United Kingdom. When we encountered the band soundchecking on the first day in Glasgow, it occurred to me while I stared at them onstage, that between Kevin’s time in My Bloody Valentine, Mani’s in The Stone Roses, and even Bobby’s stint in The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention The Scream themselves, I was witnessing the composers of a good portion of my record collection back home. -

Primal Scream Lady Sovereign Devo the Bar-Kays
MUSIC SXSW 09 LIVE SHOTS CONTINUED FROM P.57 exhilarating UK rockers 25-plus years on. THE BAR-KAYS Their Cedar Street gig ranged from 1990’s Dirty Dog Bar, March 19 classic Screamadelica (“Loaded”) to a thun- dering version of new single “Can’t Go Back.” Gillespie looked and sounded a full decade younger than the shorn, scrawny blowhard that staggered through his last Austin incarna- tion in 2000. With demon-green laser beams shooting over the sardine-tinned audience’s sea of raised hands, the Scream’s skintight renditions of classic hyper-rockers “Swastika Eyes” and “Miss Lucifer” twice resulted in a stage-front scrum that brought security into the crush. Encoring the 50-minute set with an electrifying version of “Rocks,” Gillespie and company exited slapping front-row flesh, grin- ning, laughing, and looking altogether pleased with their own beautiful future. – Marc Savlov LADY SOVEREIGN Club de Ville, March 20 AUBREY EDWARDS Beginning 20 minutes late, Lady Call it the Beale Street Invasion.

The Jesus & Mary Chain in Concerto All’
The Jesus & Mary Chain in concerto all’Alcatraz di Milano: data posticipata a dicembre MILANO, 25 gennaio 2021-‘Darklands’è il secondo episodio targato The Jesus & Mary Chain, seguito di quella pietra miliare che è tutt’oggi l’acclamatissimo Psycocandy. Nuovo album che la band riproporrà nella data milanese del 21 dicembre 2021 all’Alcatraz di Milano. Dieci brani spalmati in 35 minuti che trasudano un’oscura bellezza. E’ il 1987 quando i fratelli Reid danno alle stampe questo gioiello decadente, carico come sempre di riverberi, ma che segna un solco evidente con il loro disco d’esordio. La dipartita di Gillespie, impegnato coi suoi Primal Scream, produce un cambiamento notevole nel suono della band scozzese, che per la prima volta fa uso di una drum machine. Il risultato è un disco in cui le chitarre sferzanti e il furore degli esordi si stemperano lasciando spazio a brani più pop, morbide ballate malinconiche e atmosfere trasognate, senza però perdere quel senso di inquietudine che pervadeva Psychocandy. Il disco raggiunge il quinto posto delle charts inglesi, punto più alto mai raggiunto dai Mary Chain, e viene successivamente inserito nel compendio “1001 dischi da ascoltare prima di morire”. Dal vivo la band suonerà per intero Darklands per la prima volta in assoluto. Un evento unico che celebra un disco immortale ed irripetibile, da ascoltare e riascoltare. Band di culto degli anni Ottanta, i Jesus and Mary Chain, hanno con il loro stile e la loro musica rivoluzionato la scena di un’intera generazione. Il nuovo album di inediti intitolato “Damage & Joy” è uscito lo scorso 24 Marzo 2017 anticipato dal singolo “Amputation” su etichetta Creation Records, la stessa che li lanciò nel lontano 1984.
