After his being delayed by his recovery from a rather bad motorcycle accident this year, Daniel Lanois' new band "Black Dub" is finally being released November 2. But you can pre-order now (and comes with automatic free download of three songs).

They are also doing a short US tour of some very small venues. I'll check out the Philadelphia show on November 18 at Johnny Brenda's. If you are interested, suggest you buy tickets right away. I saw a show there this summer (Real Estate/Kurt Vile). It is a tiny venue (a very small stage with a room no bigger than the living room of a McMansion w/balcony). Tickets under $20.

I'm a big fan of Lanois' music, and am always surprised that it/he doesn't get more attention. I saw him play in Philly a few years ago (with Tortoise backing). It was a tiny venue with probably two dozen people there. Excellent music.

Check it out: Black Dub Official Site
 
Wow, wish he was coming out west. Looking forward to the album coming out in a few weeks.
 
I'll be at the Boston show with my friends, so excited, you have no idea how frustrated I was I missed his last show here, add Black Dub into the mix and this is me: :hyper:.
 
Did anyone pick this up today?

It's pretty good - there were a few bits I liked quite a bit, and others I didn't. The female singer's voice grated on me in a few songs.

I laughed when the first track started - from the get-go, it sounds like Lanois!
 
I picked it up today, at first the tracks I hadn't heard before jumped out at me as awesome (Canaan :drool:) and the ones we'd seen the studio performances of seemed odd and disappointing in production, but on second listen I'm a big fan of the whole thing. It would have been interesting to hear the whole thing with Trixie as harmonizing vocalist instead of lead, but I quite like her style (which is definitely reminiscent of her dad's), I'm so pumped to see them live in an intimate little rock venue in 2 weeks!
 
Yeah, but all the info I got from this thread was that the singer's name was Trixie.

"Who is Trixie's dad" probably wouldn't have gotten me very far. (I tried it - I got info on Trixie Belden. Her dad's name is Peter Belden. :wink: )

I've heard of Chris Whitley. Couldn't pick his music out of a line-up, though.
 
Check him out, Lanois is actually the one that discovered him, unfortunately he died 5 years ago of lung cancer :sad:.
 
Holy shit, I went in to their concert last night expecting a life-highlight and while that may seem like a set-up for disappointment, they lived up to that and more. As if I needed anymore reason to have a musician's crush on Lanois, the man is rock's version of a virtuoso and his collaborators this time around combine for an eargasmic night in a tiny club. Not only that but he brought along Rocco Deluca, a funky musician I've been into for the past year, but while I felt like I was the only one who in the crowd who knew his music when Danny himself introduced him, he had their undivided (with the exception of a few requisite self-important hipsters) attention and admiration and put on a hell of a show himself.

Definitely one of the best concerts I've ever seen, such a blessing that he'd come here for one of only a few promo shows right after the release.

nice! :hyper:

I saw him a couple years ago when he toured his Acadie reissue.. one of the best shows I've seen..

unfortunately Brian Blade wasn't drumming with him that night.. I am definitely jealous
 
I was glad that for an encore Danny came out by himself and played some of his solo material (including 'The Maker', :drool:), which was awesome because I've never had the pleasure of seeing him solo.
 
I saw him again on Wednesday night. It was as good a show as the one back in February. "Ring The Alarm" is definitely a barn-burner live.

I was like "did cori forget how to read and/or scroll down on her browser"? Especially since I named you specifically because of Seattle!
 
The answer is "cori was too lazy to scroll down and hit the 'tour' link from the top half of the linked page instead."

:wink:
 
BAW has two tickets for the LA event on Friday, 1/28....she doubled booked concerts, she's going to see Social D instead..she wrote this on FB -

LA/OC peeps! For sale: 2 tickets for Daniel Lanois' Black Dub w/Rocco Deluca for Friday, 1/28/11 at the El Rey in LA. Floor tickets, $35 each (includes TM fees). I had a huge brain fart and forgot that was same night I have tickets for Social D, so I need to get rid of these.
