Daniel Lanois' Black Dub

[Registered Dude]

Didn't see a post for this new band, features Danny on guitar and vocals, Trixie Whitely on lead vocal and keys/guitar, Darryl Johnson on bass, and - oh yes - Brian Blade on drums.

this is going to be a killer album, if and when it gets a release. these people bleed musicianship.

they've been posting rehearsal video on youtube and daniellanois.com

nothing yet - all that's happened have been a couple shows, and these clips released through his website.. we're all under a rock!

the reviews for the shows have been insanely good. people there were so lucky.. the drums.. lanois' guitar playing

the good news for the rest of us is that he's been posting these live clips at a fairly regular rate..

Considering the ridiculously lame fact that no one buys Lanois' albums, at least all the money he makes from U2 allows him to do stuff like this, the man is a killer musician.

Their show at the AB in Brussels was easily the best concert of the year for me.
Pure magic!

Daniel and Trixie also performed in this Belgian tv show.

I went to see them last night at the Bowery Ballroom. It was a very good show, one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Lanois is a great guitar player, Brian Blade is probably one of the best drummers that has ever lived, Chris Thomas' bass was doing a million things at once, and Trixie Whitley has a very big and deep voice for such a young and small person. It was a lot of fun.

So cool to hear that, I watched the webcast and posted about it in the Random Music thread! It was a great show, from my perspective. Can't wait for them to tour this area.

 

[powerhour24]

So excited for this album !

 

[VintagePunk]

Me too! My most anticipated release of the year, other than Arcade Fire, and that other group who may or may not release an album.

 

[powerhour24]

Oh they better.

There's a band promotion group that normally only advertises Christian rock and I was surprised to see this project promoted by them.

It sounds real good. Can't wait for the album.

Aww, I saw this thread come up and thought we might be getting the album announcement.

However, the video was quite entertaining.

Oh no!

Sounds like he'll be out of the ICU soon, which is good.

 

[lazarus]

Jeez, who's next?

Someone needs to put Terry Lawless on 24-hour watch.

 

[corianderstem]

I hope we don't have to start talking about a U2 curse.

Let's keep the "laid up for two months with injuries" list just down to two, okay?

Motorcycles, meh.
