Aus dem kommenden neuen Album der Phantom Four (was wohl ein Doppelalbum z.T. mit Gesang (?!) werden wird) finden immer per Titel in die freie Wildbahn, so hier z.B. Harmattan (live in Madrid)...
Wenn der komplette Instrumental-Teil so gut wird wie die bisher zu hörenden Auskopplungen, von denen übrigens unter diesem Link bei soundcloud insgesamt 4 Studio-Hörproben in voller Länge zu hörden sind, dann sind die CDs eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung wert. Auch das 2. dort zu findende Instrumental-Stück "A Forest" ist grandios. Mal sehen, wann das Album den Weg hier ins Haus findet.
Aber hier nun erstmal live in Madrid: The Phantom Four - Harmattan

Ich habe mir ja schon seit Jahren vorgenommen, doch irgendwann mal zu den traditionellen Weihnachtskonzerten der Pogues auf die Insel zu fliegen, da die Jungs ja nicht mehr viel mehr machen und ich Shane MacGowan wenigstens noch einmal live und lebendig auf der Bühne sehen wollte.
Hat sich aber irgendwie nicht ergeben und ich hatte mich schon damit abgefunden, dass ich das wohl dieses Leben (und vor dem alkoholbedingten Exitus von Shane MacGowan) nicht mehr erleben werde.
Und dann werde ich zufällig (Danke, Robert!) darauf gestoßen, dass es dieses Jahr doch tatsächlich sowas wie eine kleine Europa-Tour gibt, die noch dazu in Münster, also quasi "um die Ecke", halt macht...
Was soll ich sagen, die Karten liegen hier auf dem Schreibtisch und somit werde ich nach ca. 25 Jahren die Pogues endlich noch einmal live sehen dürfen. Ich freu' mich sehr.
Die weiteren Termine der Tour:
Jul 30, 2010 - Esch/Alzette, Luxembourg, Rockhall

Jul 31, 2010 - Muenster, Germany, Schlossplatz

The Blue Hawaiians are a surf-rock group from Los Angeles. They formed in 1994 to play at the opening of their friend Michelle's club, The Lava Lounge. They rose to fame soon thereafter due to the rise of one of their earliest fans, Quentin Tarantino, and an appearance on the soundtrack of the hit TV show Friends. The group have since released several albums which have generally fared well with critics. The band also does music for the hit cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants and their song The Cheat was featured in an advert for Guess Jeans. Current band members include: Mark Fontana, Erik Godal, Mark Sproull, Maxwellvision, Gary Brandin. The band are in a self-described semi-hiatus but continue to play infrequent live shows, including appearances at the annual Tiki Oasis music festival. Maxwell, also known as maxwellvision, lives in a tepee on a mountain in malibu. He is creating music with his son Nathen, the bass'st from flogging molly and together they will be touring end of 09 and 2010

Early life Wray was born in Dunn, North Carolina to Lillie M. Coats and Frederick ("Fred") Lincoln Wray.[3] It was there that Link first heard slide guitar at age eight from a traveling carnival worker, a black man named "Hambone". Link and his family later moved to Norfolk, Virginia as his father got work in the Navy shipyards. Link served a hitch in the US Army and was a Korean War Veteran. In 1956, his family later moved to Washington, DC, and from there, they moved to a farm in Accokeek, Maryland. Link relocated to Arizona with his brother Vernon in the very early 1970s, and later moved to San Francisco in the mid 1970s. Wray was a veteran of the Korean war, where he contracted tuberculosis that ultimately cost him a lung. His doctors told him that he would never sing again. So Link concentrated on his heavy guitar work. Despite this, on his rare vocal numbers he displays a strong voice and a range equivalent to Clarence "Frogman" Henry. [edit] Career After discharge from the Army, Wray and his brothers Doug and Vernon Wray, with friends Shorty Horton and Dixie Neal, formed Lucky Wray and the Lazy Pine Wranglers, later known as Lucky Wray and the Palomino Ranch Hands. They had been playing country music and Western swing for several years when they took a gig as the house band on the daily live TV show Milt Grant's House Party, a Washington, DC version of American Bandstand. The band made their first recordings in 1956 as Lucky Wray and the Palomino Ranch Hands for ...
The Trashmen's major notable hit was 1963's "Surfin' Bird", which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the later part of that year. The song was a combination of two R&B hits by The Rivingtons, "The Bird's the Word" and "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow". The earliest pressings of the single credit the Trashmen as composers, but following a threat from their legal counsel The Rivingtons were subsequently credited as composers. It was later recorded by many artists, including the Ramones, The Cramps, Silverchair, Pee-Wee Herman, Equipe 84, and even the thrash metal band Sodom. It has been used in several movies and television shows (such as well-known scenes in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and John Waters' Pink Flamingos). It is featured in the soundtrack in the video game Battlefield Vietnam. More recently it has been the subject of a 2008 episode of the animated series Family Guy, launching the song to #8 on the iTunes Top 10 Rock songs chart and #50 on the UK Singles Chart in 2009.
The original band members were Ron Wilson (drums), Jim Fuller (Lead guitar), Bob Berryhill (rhythm guitar) and Pat Connolly (bass). Saxophone player Jim Pash joined after their "Wipe Out" / "Surfer Joe" recording sessions at Pal Studios. Ken Forssi, later of Love, played bass with The Surfaris, as well as Jack Oldham, who performed with the group from 1966-1967, including a performance at the 1967 Grammy Awards. Wilson's energetic drum solo made "Wipe Out" one of the best-remembered instrumental song of the period. "Wipe Out" is also remembered particularly for its introduction before the music starts, a cracking sound (imitating a breaking surf board), and a maniacal laugh followed by the only two words of the song, "wipe out". "Wipe Out" is often regarded as being the surfing anthem.[citation needed] "Wipe Out" was written in the studio by the four original members (Berryhill, Connolly, Fuller, Wilson), and was originally going to be titled "Switchblade". The band released a series of records, with two other singles, "Surfer Joe" and "Point Panic", having an impact on the charts. Point Panic is a renowned surfing venue in Hawaii named after the song. The Surfaris disbanded in 1966 but have periodically reunited and are still active as of 2008[update], performing and recording, often re-recording their old and new songs. They still perform as Bob Berryhill's Surfaris and Jim Fuller's Surfaris (two separate groups) all over United States and Europe with a large fan base ...
