The Strokes are back!
While the single "Juice Box" has been floating around for quite some time now, the album entitled First Impressions of Earth will hit US shores January 3. Given the great amount of anticipation for this album, I'm really hoping that they do not disappoint. Personally I thought that Room on Fire was a very good album, even if it first appeared like a glossed over Is This It? 2.0. While US tour dates haven't been announced yet, expect them to come back from Europe around March and tour here into the summer.
Ben Harper's latest slated for March 21
Much appreciated to Ben Harper fans I'm sure, the release will be a two-disc effort. One containing all funk tracks and the other strictly ballads. Releases like this are starting to wear thin on me, as many of the albums would be much better off with cutting out the fat and making it a single disc, I suppose we'll have to wait and see if Ben Harper's latest will suffer from the same problem. Harper is expected to tour in support of the album in February or March, and as more details are given, I'll be sure to release the information to you guys.
Josh Rouse's Subtitulo to be a reflection of his move to Spain
Also going to be released on March 21, Rouse's lead single and video will be for the track "Quiet Town." This should be a very interesting album, and has the makings of being a breakthrough as well for mainstream audiences. Like many other artists, when Rouse is inspired he's as good as it gets, so he should truly be on with this release. He has scheduled a few concert dates for January, which are as follows:
1.19 Chicago, IL - Black Orchid
1.20 Nashville, TN - The Belcourt Theater
1.24 Los Angeles, CA - Troubadour
1.26 San Franciso, CA - Swedish American Hall
1.30 New York, NY - Joe's Pub
1.31 New York, NY - Joe's Pub
For those interested, here's the track listing for Rouse's upcoming effort:
01. Quiet Town
