It might just be the two of us that keep it alive, but that little in-joke will never die.

 

[gump]

If we buy the CD, do we get a bonus track when we tell them Laz sent us?

 

[lazarus]

July 2 in the US, I believe.

That's what Amazon and others are saying is the release date for the import. And iTunes UK is still showing it as a pre-order with a release on July 2nd.

But if that was the actual U.S. release date, there would be a lot more advertising and a price that's in line with the norm.

 

[Danny Boy]

Ah, bummer.

I just checked WOW HD for the import price. They have it for $12.99. They're also showing a JB HiFi Deluxe Edition with three bonus tracks for $24.99.

 

[lazarus]

My sources are telling me early September for the U.S., which seems like an odd move. Won't a lot of people just DL it for free if they have to wait two extra months to get it legally?

I guess the record company feels they need to tour more in the U.S. first, but I thought that's what the festival shows were for.

 

[Danny Boy]

I don't know what harm it would do to have the record in stores before the tour. It does seem stupid to have different release windows in different territories in the internet age.

I pre-ordered the deluxe version from WOW HD. It's supposed to ship on Friday. They're a little slow but I'll definitely get it before September.

You can tell the girls you have racked up one sale, Laz.

You getting a piece, Shylock? And by piece I mean $$$ because who's kidding who?

The profit I gain is in seeing my friends succeed.

 

[lazarus]

The Glastonbury performance video is...available, if you're a torrenting sort of person.


They're pretty ferocious.

 

[Danny Boy]

Well, this album pretty much rocks from beginning to end.

 

[lazarus]

That final track is so dark compared to everything preceding it. Really raw and bluesy. The Glastonbury perf of it gave me chills.

Any favorites yet, DB?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck.

 

[lazarus]

I don't want to encourage inappropriate downloading, but I don't think the U.S. folks should have to wait to hear this album.

You could always put the CD money towards seeing their live show. Or buying it once it does come out.

I think you'll like this one, GAF.

End of the World and Lies so far.

This album is like a throwback to some of the great 80's female-vocalist-lead bands (the Pretenders, Heart, Joan Jet) but with a harder edge. Bit of a Sleater-Kinney influence in there too.

New interview, funny stuff. And crude.

They're playing at the Lowlands festival next week. So what's the reason I should see them? Is it because someone on Interference is their pimp?

 

[lazarus]

If you want to see two girls make a lot of noise and rock the fuck out, then go.


Imperor was a convert after he saw them at Bonnaroo.

 

[BoMac]

So I want to say how much I enjoyed their set at Osheaga on Aug. 3.

When they walked on stage, I heard a few audible gasps and a couple of "wow" from people who didn't know what the band looked like and weren't sure what to expect. By the end of their set, they were saying wow for a different reason.

And what made their performance all the more impressive is that, as they mentioned a few times, they were added to the lineup just two days prior. That means they played Lolla on Friday and then flew to Montreal later that night for their first ever show in Canada. It was so rushed that they played Osheaga without their regular gear, although no one would have noticed if they hadn't mentioned it.

 

[lazarus]

Glad to hear!

They're back in Los Angeles for their first homecoming show in over a year tomorrow.

I'm excited.

This was in the paper this morning, Laz.

 

[lazarus]

Nice.

This might be up your alley, Martha:


Exclusive Premiere: Deap Vally Crash Biker Bars, Melt Faces in New Video

 

[martha]

Yes. But it needed more bikes.


You know, they are super cute when they smile.

 

[lazarus]

Amazing, amazing show last night, and the best I've ever seen them play. They really rose to the occasion of being back home with I'm guessing a good number of industry people in the audience. Played every song off the new album, as well as a couple outtakes. I think there was only one officially released track that didn't get a turn.

Apparently Mick Jagger's daughter (if he has more than one, I'm not sure which) is a new convert, and Mick almost made it to one of the shows recently, so there will hopefully be an update on that front.

The gals have no time to relax back at home, as they leave for Austria today. It never ends.

Someone posted a vid that represents the show pretty well:

You've been given another chance:

Definitely hitting that Pomona show.

 

[martha]

Soda Bar in SD is nice and tiny.

 

[lazarus]

I've only been to one show in San Diego, and it was at Cane's for Pavement, if I'm not mistaken.

Imperor better be checking out one of those THREE Austin shows.
