Update 11.11.04

Tim Booth’s gig in Thessaloniki, Greece, this Saturday (November 13) has been moved from the Fix venue to the Principal venue.   Tickets are still valid and there are apparently free buses laid on to the venue from the White Tower in the city as Principal is close to the city’s airport.

Tim and the Individuals complete their UK tour at the ICA in London tonight.   A full UK tour report will be published in the next few days.

Update 1.11.04

Andy Diagram, ex trumpeter with James, plays on Black Francis from the Pixies latest album “Frank Black Francis”.  The two-disc set features Black’s demos from 1987 on disc 1 plus a set of recordings of Pixies classics with Andy and Keith Moline on disc 2 and is out now.

The sleevenotes read “I first met the Two Pale Boys, Andy and Keith, at a gig some years ago in West Hollywood, the trumpet and guitar members of that trio formed with David Thomas.  When David asked me to perform at UCLA as part of his Mirror Man improv-opera in early 2003, Andy and Keith were in the band again.  The two pale fellows from England offered their studio and input on some undefined project in the undefined future. In the hot summer of 2003, July I think, I went down to the Hackney section of London and belted out the numbers and let the boys do their things. I enjoy their work with me or with others. I like these guys a lot.  Sure, we’ve messed with the gospel, but I am satisfied with it.”

Tim Booth starts his European tour in Portugal tomorrow night (2) at Lisbon’s Aula Magna before continuing at Porto Hard Club (3), Madrid Moby Dick (4), Barcelona Razzmatazz (5), Glasgow Cottier Theatre (7). Leeds City Varieties (8), Manchester Royal Northern College of Music (9), London ICA (11).

Update 5.9.04

First of all, apologies for the lack of activity here over the past two months.  It started off as being off on Tim’s tour and then things got a bit heavy at work.  Add to that, the worst kept secret in the world – that I am also running Tim’s official site – which meant a lot of additional work and of the three, this sadly gets lowest priority.  However, there are some updates and I will try and chase down some news of other band members.  Obviously running Tim’s site means there won’t be too much exclusive news here, but when there are tours and stuff, we will review them here.  And your contributions are always welcome – whether they be gig reviews, photos, interviews or just links to material not referenced on here. That includes anything I may have missed in the past month or two.  And if anyone has some free space they can provide to us free-of-charge to host mp3s, it would be greatly appreciated.

The following sections have been updated : News Archive, Tim Gigography, details of Tim’s singles.

Down To The Sea was released on June 28 and reached number 68. The single was released on 7″ featuring Bring It On and CD featuring Remember Me.

Wave Hello was released on August 16 on CD single only featuring an exclusive b-side Si Tu Veux recorded with the band’s live monitors man Stuart Smith.  However, the single never appeared in the shops and only appears to be available through Amazon and Pinnacle on-line stores.

Tim and the band performed an XFM session earlier in the year which can be heard through this link.

Dave Baynton-Power played with The Alarm at the Guilfest on July 17.  Oneofthethree spoke to Dave and can reveal he’s well and has been spending time with his family as well as standing in at various gigs and tours for The Alarm’s regular drummer when he has commitments with other bands.
