El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Houston!

Dallas is a major flight hub. Moreso than Denver or Phoenix. And if you're a band, you play where your fans are, not just where you'd like to holiday. New bands don't have the time to sight-see on the road, they play, play, play. FWIW, I have no particular desire to go to Pennsylvania, because I've already been, but if a job required it, I'd go. > And the Bunnymen, and most new UK bands, just > don't have that kind of money! I believe the Bunnymen have that kind of money. And I believe that many bands are following in each other's footsteps -- like walking in someone's tracks through the snow. Nothing wrong with the tried and true, but sometimes going off the beaten path can be rewarding. - --Amy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 09:40:30 -0500 (CDT) From: somethinstrange@webtv.net Subject: Re: seven-seas-digest V1 #136 yes we lately have been passed on, though we always pack the venues. however, THE MISSION UK _are_ coming to TX! el paso, san antonio and wayne's doing an "unannounced" acoustic gig in houston! now... the bunnies are LONG overdue for a show here. From: amyr@jump.net (Amy Moseley Rupp) You're in Houston, I'm in Austin.... I did mean what I said about wanting to hear "Ocean Rain" live. From watching the past few English bands that have toured the US, I have gathered that they tend to play the same cities... the two coasts, and two or three cities in between, notably in Ohio, and then Chicago or Denver -- maybe Phoenix. Closest show is usually Denver. I do wish these bands would play either Dallas *or* Houston... there is a huge fan base in Texas for many of them. Who else would you like to see play here? As I've said, I'd like Muse... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2002 10:48:53 -0400 From: Red Subject: Re: seven-seas Oh, and somethinstrange.... ;-) At 09:22 AM 9/6/02 -0500, you wrote: > >Dallas is a major flight hub.

But if you'll notice....I said they go straight from Chicago (or wherever) to the west coast...I didn't say they stopped in Denver or Phoenix....I was getting to the point of skipping the extra flight period!! And most of the bands bands you're talking about don't even play those 2 cities either, most of the time! > >And if you're a band, you play where your fans are, not >just where you'd like to holiday.

Well....if that's what you wanna believe.... then there must be another reason why they skip Texas!! Ta!

Yeah!!! :-) That's an unusual choice of cities, El Paso, though it's actually quite big... you can do it and get New Mexico and Arizona, but not many from the rest of Texas! San Antonio is in my backyard! Does anyone know of a good way to follow smaller bands (eg those that don't go through TicketBastard) as they tour? Obviously watching a given club works on the tried-and-true circuit, but... I watch some bands individually through their websites, but it'd be nice to have a better listing.

Doghouse Studios, in Henley-On-Thames will host McCulloch & co. for 5 weeks of recording and mixing. Cenzo Townsend will engineer and mix the album. He's previously worked with McCulloch on the 1995 Electrafixion album, "Burned" and Echo and the Bunnymen's 1997 UK top-ten album, "Evergreen". McCulloch has assembled a band of Liverpool-based musicians for the session: Ian McCulloch : vocals, rhythm guitar Peter Wilkinson : bass Simon Finley : drums Ceri James : keyboards Pete Byrne : guitars - ----- 'HUXLEY PIG- PART 1' By AVIATOR- THE DEBUT ALBUM BY PETER WILKINSON FROM CAST. RELEASE DATE - 1st OCTOBER 2002 Since the demise of the multi-platinum selling band Cast, Peter Wilkinson, in between playing bass with Echo and the Bunnymen, has gathered together a collection of songs which are released here on his debut album- 'Huxley Pig - Part 1'. He weaves some ethereal magic on tracks such as the melodic 'Shoot The Crow' and the stunning 'I fall Asleep', whilst he offers the rock 'n' roll circus that is Dancing Bear. 'Huxley pig- part 1' has it's own unique sound which has been found by Pete's desire to experiment. This album rivals, if not surpasses some of the great band releases that Peter has played on including all Cast releases and the classic album by Shack,' Water Pistol'. His musical otherworldliness has been captured by producer Paul Hemming and features Keith O'Neill (his former partner in Cast) on drums. This should appeal to former Cast fans who eagerly await its realease, as well as gathering new fans all of its own. Another great release on the Viper Label. TRACKLISTING : 1) Pinhole 2) Huxley Pig 3) Shoot The Crow 4) Dancing Bear 5) Burning Car 6) False Host 7) Transporter 8) I Fall Asleep 9) Don't Trust You Man 10) Cradle Song - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
