Direct from the Parisian overground, French pop connoisseurs La Femme released their new album Mystère worldwide last September. Hailing from Le Pré Saint Gervais and Ivry-sur-Seine’s winding streets, La Femme have made a huge mark on modern Paris's cultural landscape, with the two sides of the city – the glamour and the grit – engrained in their music. Mystère reached the second place of the French digital charts, the 8^th place of the overall French charts, and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the French Music Awards 2017. Ever since the release of their debut album Psycho Tropical Berlin, that topped the French digital charts and saw the band appear on national television as the Best New Band of the year at the French Music Awards, their rise has only gained momentum with fans.

Returning with a more psychedelic sound and a range of guest vocalists that slice through the starkest of electro beats, Mystère sees La Femme celebrating all that’s wonderful about their city. From the chattering tête-à-tête heard on "Conversations Nocturnes" that leads into the throbbing disco beat of "SSD" – a direct reference to the pulsing nightlife hotspot and multi-cultural district Strasbourg Saint Denis where the band continue to work and play equally hard.

After supporting Red Hot Chilli Peppers for 12 shows of their Arena Europan tour in October 2016, La Femme will continue spreading their French words with energy, style and passion this Fall throughout the North American Tour.

“Slow down, take it easy, put Mystère on the record player and allow yourself to be taken far away...”they say. Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Everyone can be a part of La Femme’s world – and it has never felt more alive.

Morrissey Announces US Tour In Support of 'Low in High School'

September 22, 2017 - Morrissey has revealed a full US tour in support of his new studio album 'Low in High School' (out November 17 on Etienne/BMG). Backed by his full live band, each performance promises to be an intimate evening with Morrissey where he will perform many of his most well known fan favorites as well as new material from 'Low in High School,' including lead single "Spent The Day In Bed." Additionally, on October 20th, a special five LP box set deluxe version of The Smiths' 'The Queen is Dead' will be released to celebrate what is perhaps the band's most iconic album.

Full itinerary below and on Morrissey's official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Morrissey/

Earlier this month, Morrissey made national headlines surrounding the announcement that he will be making his long awaited return to the Hollywood Bowl on Friday Nov 10. The show sold out almost instantly on the first day of the onsale, and a second date on Saturday Nov 11 has been added. Billy Idol will be the special guest at both engagements. Tickets are on sale now for Saturday Nov 11.

"Spent The Day In Bed" has been called an ode to self-care by The AV Club and received plaudits from Rolling Stone, NPR Music, and Billboard, while Stereogum lauded its "slickly theatrical" imagery.

Pre-order 'Low in High School' here: https://morrissey.lnk.to/LiHSPR

Recognized as one of the most influential artists of all time, Morrissey is widely credited as a seminal figure in the emergence of indie rock and Britpop, and his music acts as a rite of passage for all who discover alternative music. His lyrics, at times blunt and fearless, other times vulnerable and poignant, continue to resonate with listeners around the world with their unmatched emotional depth and theatrical, poetic delivery. After The Smiths, Morrissey achieved greater success as a prolific solo artist. All 10 of his solo albums have entered the Top 10 on the UK album charts, including three entries at No. 1. In 2013, Morrissey published his record-breaking autobiography on Penguin Classics, immediately topping the best-seller list with literary reviewers hailing it a masterpiece in writing and prose. Pitchfork called him "one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture," and the UK's Independent declared, "Most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the iconic status he has reached in his lifetime."

Erasure Release New Remix of "Just A Little Love" By Barry Harris

ERASURE

RELEASE NEW REMIX OF "JUST A LITTLE LOVE"
BY THUNDERPUSS’S BARRY HARRIS

NEW ALBUM WORLD BE GONE OUT NOW

Photo by Doron Gild

“…tragic and triumphant…” – Stereogum

"...topical, poignant tunes worried about the state of the world but hopeful love can still make a difference." – Associated Press

“A triumph of achingly beautiful pop protest music.” – MOJO

“Just a little love, not the hate that’s calling. Just a little love and the walls start falling.”

ERASURE have shared the new remix from Thunderpuss’s Barry Harris for their forthcoming single, “Just A Little Love,” out digitally today along with a digital EP.

“Just A Little Love,” an upbeat highlight from the band’s recent album World Be Gone is a joyful synth-pop track that captures Andy Bell and Vince Clarke’s optimism following the soul searching of Erasure's previous release, the reflective “World Be Gone” single.

Listen to Barry Harris’s uplifting remix here.

The digital EP will include remixes from Bright Light Bright Light - who will be joining Vince and Andy as the special guest on all of Erasure's 2018 UK and European tour dates - Dave Ball (Soft Cell, The Grid), Barry Harris (Thunderpuss) and 7th Heaven.

Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, the BRIT and Ivor Novello winning songwriting duo, released their latest album, World Be Gone, earlier this summer. The album entered the UK Official Album Chart at Number 6 and is the band’s first Top 10 studio album in 20 years.

Erasure have announced an appearance at BBC Children In Need Rocks, on October 19 at the SSE Arena, Wembley. Further information available here.

Erasure were recently special guests of Robbie Williams on his stadium tour throughout 2017. A recently announced headline tour of the UK and Europe - many of the dates sold out on the day of release - starts in Dublin in January 2018. February will see Erasure travel throughout the UK, finishing up with two nights at London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo before heading to Germany. Full details below.

High Waisted unveils two new singles "Free Throw" + "Firebomb" via Billboard

NYC-based rockers High Waisted

To release new split single, “Free Throw” + “Firebomb”

Out September 15th via Little Dickman Records

“Each of these 12 tracks is a party unto itself, complete with scuzzy bass, bright vocal harmonies, and enough reverb to fill a decently sized punch bowl.” - Consequence of Sound

“The band’s mastery of 50s era vocals and classic surf guitar will have you dancing in your chair while considering buying tickets to Hawaii.” - Noisey

Listen: High Waisted - “Free Throw” + “Firebomb” - https://soundcloud.com/gethighwaisted/sets/split-7-inch-little-dickmand/s-Msrxu

(Brooklyn, NY) One of the most notorious bands in the NYC underground, rockers High Waisted have made a name for themselves with their wild live shows and Jessica Dye’s (lead vox, guitar) style and feminist swagger. As GQ so succinctly described, “High Waisted is a lot of things: a surf-rock band that throws raucous Lower East Side parties, friends and roommates, a group of people who stay up late and get up early. Their whirlwind energy gets channeled into creating a boisterous atmosphere just as much as into the music.”

With a Tad Kubler (The Hold Steady) produced sophomore album in the works for Spring 2018, the band rounded out by Jono Bernstein (drums) Richey Rose (bass) and Stephen Neilsen (guitar / vox) will be road testing hard this fall with a new split single in tow.

“Free Throw” and “Firebomb” will see release on September 15th as part of a split with The Coax via Little Dickman Records.

The two singles tease a blazing path forward for High Waisted, moving towards a fuller sound with Arun Bali of Saves the Day handling mixing duties.

Look for “Free Throw” and “Firebomb” out September 15th via Little Dickman Records and be sure to follow High Waisted on any of their social channels detailed below.

DEPECHE MODE RELEASE COVER VIDEO OF DAVID BOWIE’S “HEROES” ON SONG’S 40th ANNIVERSARY

DEPECHE MODE RELEASE COVER VIDEO OF DAVID BOWIE’S “HEROES” ON SONG’S 40^th ANNIVERSARY

“HEROES” HIGHLINE SESSIONS VERISON PREMIERING ON NME HERE

(Columbia Records; New York, NY; September 22, 2017) – After including a cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” in their Global Spirit Tour set list in Europe and North America, Depeche Mode today released a video of their haunting, emotionally-charged version of the song. Debuting today on NME, the September 22^nd release is fitting as the date marks the 40^th Anniversary of the original release of “Heroes.” The visual, directed by Tim Saccenti, features Depeche Mode in an intimate studio setting and is one of the stripped-back performance films Saccenti made during the recording of ‘Spirit’ in 2016.

Says Dave Gahan, "Heroes is the most special song to me at the moment. Bowie is the one artist who I’ve stuck with since I was in my early teens. His albums are always my go-to on tour and covering 'Heroes' is paying homage to Bowie."
