New Order Live in Glasgow DVD Includes Highlights from 2006 Glasgow Concerts, Including Rare Performances of Joy Division Songs, Plus a Bonus DVD Featuring Unreleased Footage From the Band’s Personal Archives, Spotlighting Shows from 1981-2006.

Available June 24, 2008 From Warner/Rhino.

After sitting out much of the late ’90s, New Order came back in a big way in 2001 with Get Ready. On tour for the band’s 2005 follow-up, Waiting For The Sirens’ Call, the influential synth-pop group made a rare two-night stand at Glasgow’s Carling Academy in October 2006. The celebratory shows were filmed, capturing songs that span the band’s extraordinary career, including several rare performances of Joy Division favorites. Rhino highlights the very best moments from the shows with LIVE IN GLASGOW.

The collection also contains a bonus disc of unreleased footage from the band’s personal archives, including classic live performances filmed between 1981 and 2006. On June 24, this two-disc DVD set will be available from Rhino at all physical outlets, including www.rhino.com, for a suggested list price of $19.99.

Featuring 5.1 Surround Sound, LIVE IN GLASGOW highlights songs from New Order’s entire career, from the band’s first single “Ceremony” and its biggest hits: “Blue Monday,” “Temptation” and “Bizarre Love Triangle,” to a trio of Joy Division classics: “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” “Transmission” and “Shadowplay.”

Interspersed with the live footage are short interviews with the three band members, filmed exclusively for this DVD. This release follows hot on the heels of the acclaimed Joy Division documentary, biopic Control and the recent Best Of Joy Division release from Rhino.

The bonus DVD is a treasure trove for the New Order’s longtime fans, containing tracks selected from the band’s archive by its drummer, Stephen Morris. Favoring shows from the band’s first decade, the collection includes performances from eight different concerts, including six songs recorded at festivals in 1981 – just a year after the untimely death of Joy Division singer, Ian Curtis. Three tracks — “Senses,” “Procession” and “The Him” — are taken from New Order’s first appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.

Four more concerts from the ’80s are represented on the bonus disc, such as “Ultraviolence” from Rome in 1982; “Everything’s Gone Green” from the following year in Cork; seven songs from New Order’s 1985 shows in Rotterdam and Toronto, including “The Village,” “Age of Consent” and “Temptation”; as well as “Dream Attack” and “1963″ from the band’s 1989 stop at Shoreline. The bonus disc concludes with a pair of songs from the band’s stunning headlining appearance at Hyde Park in 2006, including “Run Wild” and Joy Division’s “She’s Lost Control.”

In 1980, New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division — one of the most important British bands of all time. In the face of adversity, and against all odds, New Order went on to release eight seminal, era-defining albums.

Columbia Records / Music With A Twist is set to release ‘Gossip – Live In Liverpool,’ a deluxe live CD/DVD combination package from Gossip, America’s premier indie pop/soul/experimental trio, on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 in the US (UK – 31st March, 2008).

Recorded live in concert on July 9, 2007, ‘Gossip – Live In Liverpool’ brilliantly captures and focuses the stunning ferocity, energy and intensity at the heart of Gossip’s groundbreaking meld of sound and politics.

This incendiary concert showcase breaks out definitive performances of Gossip signature tunes including the band’s UK #1 Indie chart-topping smash, “Standing In The Way Of Control”; the UK Top 40 hit, “Listen Up”; and the #3 UK Indie track, “Jealous Girls” in addition to delightfully provocative covers of Wham!’s “Careless Whisper” and Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?”

‘Gossip – Live In Liverpool’ includes a DVD of the concert, lensed by documentary filmmaker and music video director Lance Bangs (Sonic Youth, Green Day, R.E.M., Death Cab For Cutie, Kanye West, Pavement, Mike Watt and more).

Gossip will celebrate the release of ‘Gossip – Live In Liverpool’ with a mini-tour of select US cities including New York (Webster Hall, April 15, 2008), San Francisco (Bimbo’s, April 18) and Los Angeles (Henry Fonda Theatre, April 18).

The band has been selected as a featured artist in MTV’s “52/52″ campaign in conjunction with the release of ‘Gossip – Live In Liverpool.’ “52/52″ is a brand new way for the channel to give unprecedented exposure to unsigned artists, indie bands, and established acts on major labels in a completely new and innovative way. MTV handpicks one band/artist per week for the entire year and gives them the equivalent of roughly 11 hours of on-air commercial time per week on the channel. Performances, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage with Gossip will air throughout the group’s “52/52″ spots.

Gossip is: Beth Ditto (vocals), Brace Paine (guitar, bass) and Hannah Blilie (drums).

Formed in Searcy, Arkansas, in 1999, the radical feminism-infused punk rock trio relocated to Olympia, Washington that same year where the group released its eponymous debut EP, ‘The Gossip.’ Fronted by the brash and unapologetic Beth Ditto, Gossip is simultaneously iconic and iconoclastic, forging new visual and musical templates, uncompromising, even by rock & roll convention, and utterly refreshing, by anybody’s standards.

Gossip released their first full-length collection of songs, ‘That’s Not What I Heard,’ in January 2001 and its successor, the EP ‘Arkansas Heat,’ in 2002 after touring with the White Stripes and Sleater-Kinney. The group’s second full-length collection, ‘Movement,’ was released in May 2003.

Gossip reached a threshold of transcendence with its last studio album, 2006’s ‘Standing In The Way Of Control,’ which reached #22 on the UK album chart while the album’s title track became a UK smash in its own right after becoming the unofficial theme music for the popular British television teen drama, “Skins,” and eventually rocketing to #1 on the UK indie chart.

‘Standing In The Way Of Control’ charted on Billboard’s European Top 100 Albums with the single hitting the European Hot 100 Singles charts. The single has sold more than 150,000 copies in the UK.

The band appeared on the cover of the UK’s prestigious music bible NME no less than three times in 2007, with the June 2nd issue notoriously featuring Beth Ditto proudly flaunting her “birthday suit.” The NME declared Beth as its #1 choice for its “Coolest Of 2007″ list while, back in the States, Spin featured Beth in a six-page spread.

Now based in Portland, Oregon, Gossip has opened for Le Tigre, Mates of State and Scissor Sisters, among others. During the summer of 2007, Gossip was a part of the multi-artist True Colors Tour 2007, which traveled through 15 cities in the United States and Canada. Hosted by comedian Margaret Cho and headlined by Cyndi Lauper, the tour, sponsored by the Logo Channel, also included Debbie Harry, Erasure, Rufus Wainwright, The Dresden Dolls, The MisShapes, The Cliks and other special guests. Profits from the tour went to benefit the Human Rights Campaign.

On June 24, 2007, Gossip closed the Glastonbury Festival, with Beth Ditto paying tribute to legendary DJ John Peel during the group’s set.

More than 50,000 copies of Gossip’s independent releases have been sold in the United States to-date.

Evans is in the midst of some serious health challenges and all proceeds collected from the event will be donated to a Health Relief Fund in his name. Admission to the event is $12 and will feature performances by Ruby & the Red Hots, Jesse Davis, Barbara Jamerson, Mark Lessman, Reggie Smith, Janice Edwards, Jermoe Dawson, Darryl Williams, Glen Fisher, and many more of Carl’s friends.

“This event is not only a way to show support to Carl, but also a celebration of his incredible journey as an artist,” said Shauna Aguirre, Talent Buyer and Restaurant Manager at Humphreys. “Carl has been an important part of Humphreys for many years and we want to show him our support in this difficult time.”

One of contemporary instrumental music’s most popular mainstays since the dawn of what radio termed Smooth Jazz in the late 1980’s, Fattburger’s melodic and funky, blues and Latin spiced rhythm and jazz sound has helped both create and define the genre giving the band international fame. While many trends and new artists have come and gone in the last decade, Fattburger endures on the strength of what Evans calls “remaining true to ourselves, focusing on feeling rather than the latest sound.”

Humphreys is renowned for its live music every night of the week, unparalleled waterfront views and its top-notch cuisine. Executive Chef Paul Murphy has reinvented the menu at Humphreys giving the restaurant a New Attitude to compliment the chic refreshed look. The new menu features modern global cuisine with influences from around the world, including Asian, North African, American and more embellished by his classical French training.

Astonishingly, Maria McKee was only 19 when she penned Feargal Sharkey’s 1985 UK number one hit “A Good Heart”. In 1989 she released her debut solo album and in 1990 Maria McKee held the number one spot in the UK charts for four weeks with “Show Me Heaven”, recorded for the soundtrack to the film Days Of Thunder. The song became one of the best selling singles of that year throughout Europe. Maria no longer performs this track live so it’s wonderful that one of her rare live performances of that song is included here on this superb compilation.

The tracks featured on Maria McKee – Live at the BBC CD are taken from her performances at Manchester University in 1991 and Cambridge Junction in 1993, at the peak of her commercial success. The set contains some of her best known performances alongside the Lone Justice hits and some wonderful cover versions.

Robert Cray is one of the few blues artists who managed to cultivate a mainstream following in the 1980s and 90s. During the course of a long-running career that began in the 1970s, he uniquely blended elements of rhythm & blues, pop and traditional blues to win fans over to a more contemporary blues sound.

In 1988 Cray consolidated his burgeoning reputation with the excellent album ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’, which featured some raucous saxophone sounds care of David Sanborn. For the follow-up ‘Midnight Stroll’, Cray adopted a new line-up that made for a tougher sound, moving him away from mainstream blues towards R&B and soul.

Robert Cray continues to record and perform live, and to date has received five Grammy Awards for his innovative style.

This double CD, set for UK release on January 28th, 2008, features the very best of Robert Cray’s BBC Concert performances, recorded between 1988-1991 during the tours to promote the Grammy Award winning albums ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’ and ‘Midnight Stroll’, both of which made the UK and US charts.

Robert Cray Live at the BBC tracklisting:

I Guess I Showed Her (1988)
Foul Play (1988)
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (1988)
Baby You Don’t Even Care (1988)
Night Patrol (1988)
Nothing But A Woman (1988)
Phone Booth (1991)
These Things (1991)
My Problem (1991)
The Forecast Calls For Pain (1991)
Consequences (1991)
Right Next Door (1991)
Acting This Way (1991)
Smoking Gun (1991)

“Robert Cray is not only making great music, he’s making history. With a few exceptions…it used to be that there was the blues and there were the masses and never the twain shall meet. But Cray, who obviously is respected in blues circles, is a press darling and crossover smash.” (Dan Forte – Guitar Player)

Carl Evans Jr., underwent surgery on December 10, 2007 to remove his left leg below the knee. This surgery was necessary to continue his ongoing battle against Diabetes. A founding member of the Grammy nominated band Fattburger, he’s been a beloved and highly respected member of San Diego’s jazz community for the past 30 years and has sat in on piano regularly with the Anthology House Band. The benefit concert is a combined effort of Anthology, San Diego’s acclaimed new live music venue, and 17 of San Diego’s finest jazz musicians. They are producing the concerts to help offset some of the medical expenses and future care for Evans. Anthology is donating the venue, and the all-star artist ensemble is contributing their performances.

Headlining the events will be internationally acclaimed saxophone artist Charles McPherson, super bass man Nathan East, leading jazz and Latin trumpeter Brian Lynch, recording artist trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos and keyboardist-composer-producer Rob Whitlock.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $38. Tickets for the concerts can be purchased through Anthology directly at the Anthology Box Office, online at www.AnthologySD.com and by phone at 619.595.0300.

Carl Evans Jr.

The musical progeny of former Navy Band master and accomplished saxophonist Carl Evans Sr. and mother Clara Lovelace, a gospel singer and choir director. Carl Evans Jr. is one of the country’s most acclaimed jazz pianists. Carl moved to San Diego at age five.

He was awarded a football scholarship to the University of San Diego High School playing as a defensive lineman. It took Evans one year of playing football to decide to change schools and attend Crawford High. “Football was great but Crawford had the best music program in the state. I played music with future luminaries Nathan East, Hollis Gentry III, Gunnar Biggs, Mel Goot, & Doug Robinson. I went from winning football awards to awards like Southwestern College Pianist Award.” Evans said. Evans graduated early from Crawford High School to begin touring with Barry White and through the years many others including Freddie Hubbard, Cannonball Adderley, Eddie Harris, Rufus Thomas, Anita Baker, Lionel Ritchie, Gerald Albright and Nathan East. He has recorded and produced over 25 CDs. He is the leader and co-founder of the internationally known, award-winning band “Fattburger” and has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

Above all of his accomplishments and awards Carl is one of the most respected and beloved musicians in the Jazz world!
