We're gonna get a pint or three at Foley's (244 O'Farrell Street - just off of Union Square so close to Virgin) around 3:00 on Tuesday. Instore is at 4:30. After that I have some personal stuff to attend to, but will be at Slim's without fail.... Cheers, Anne __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.

I'm considering making the drive from Cleveland for Satuday night's show, so I'm curious if it's the type of place that would be expected to sell out. (also from a downtown hotel, is it better to drive/park around there - or use some type of public transportation/cab). Any information is appreciated - Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 14:34:20 +0000 From: Subject: seven-seas-moderated Re: seven-seas Lee's Palace Hi You need to speak to Barb .... she's going to the show & I believe she may be from "the area" she's not on this list but you can get hold of her through the forums on www.bunnymen.com or www.ianmcculloch.com her user name there is Barb!! hope that helps a bit have Fun looloo > > From: "Roger Boge" > Date: Fri 23/May/2003 13:18 GMT > To: seven-seas@smoe.org > Subject: seven-seas Lee's Palace > > I was curious if anyone from the Toronto area could let me know how > big > Lee's Palace is.

F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Orange County Register, CA http://www2.ocregister.com/ocrweb/ocr/article.do?id=40388 Quick Hits By BEN WENER Ian McCulloch, "Slideling" (Cooking Vinyl/spinART) - More than a decade since his last solo album - and not long after a trio of decent but overlooked albums by his resurrected mainstay, Echo and the Bunnymen - the Liverpudlian post-punk icon with the romantically brooding voice returns with more overcast jangle, much of which reminds of his influence on today's indie- rock revival. Not that anything here is as sharp or urgent; this is comfy, like Lou Reed without the seediness. A pair of Coldplay-assisted tracks, the springy opener "Love in Veins" and the breezy "She Sings (All My Life)" might have been minor hits back in his prime, and "Baby Hold On" is as lovely a ballad as he's ever penned. These days, that's enough to keep from writing him off. (McCulloch plays Wednesday at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood.) Grade: B (B.W.) ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 May 2003 09:23:46 -0600 From: "K. F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Seattle Weekly http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0319/music-cdreviews.php As the oblique, cocky frontman of Echo and the Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch decorated the band's dark, meandering, psychedelia-tinged pop with a cool, dramatic air. He leaped octaves with a seemingly effortless flair and painted his velvety vocals over the highly imaginative guitar work of Will Sergeant. Ah, the '80s-and, sure, the '90s and the '00s too, but I think we're all in agreement about which of those decades saw the band's best work. At any rate, having long since ditched his iconic mop of frizzy hair and black trench coat, Mac is back with his third full-length solo album, and this time he's got Coldplay's Chris Martin singing backups on the first single. "Love in Veins," like most of the songs on Slideling, is far more triumphant and optimistic than trademark Echo tunes like "Killing Moon." The years have been good to McCulloch; he's reflective and content, and, if "Baby Hold On" is any indication, he's also very much in love. And, it would seem, more enamored than ever of the keyboards. Cheri James' often simplistic lines are almost always placed up front, often ringing with a thick vintage warble, other times wavering thinly like a wedding reception band's electric piano. Crisp and streamlined, these songs have been carefully crafted to fit within regulation pop standards. While "High Wire" smacks of the Wilco/Billy Bragg collaborations and "Kansas" might be a direct descendent of Oasis' "Wonderwall," more obvious references points like latter-day Elvis Costello and Leonard Cohen are never far from mind.
