Read More Morrissey I actually suspected the Morrissey 2013 would be cancelled after his San Francisco cancellation on March 9th (at the very last minute). Anyway, the entire tour is now cancelled due to continuing health . …

The first official/authorized Morrissey film in nine years is called Morrissey 25: Live From Hollywood High.
Why 25? That marks the quarter of a century that Morrissey became a solo artist.
Morrissey has an especially large following in California, so it's no surprise that his shows generally sell out in that region. If you missed his Hollywood High School show in Los Angeles (from March 2, 2013), you get a second chance by attending a screening on August 29th, 2013.
You'll need to check your local listing for what cities and theaters are showing this. Currently there are no plans for Minnesota, the states I see are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma , Texas, Virginia, and Washington .
These two New York screens were recently announced:
Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 7:30PM
260 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10011
Village East - September 5, 2013
Time TBD
181 2nd Avenue, New York, NY 10003

The Happy Martyr is a band that started its life as The OneThree in 2004, featuring Alex Lusty and Morrissey's guitarist Boz Boorer. The two released Life Goes On in 2005, and as Happy Martyr with One Square Mile last year.
The Happy Martyr is back with a brand new single called "Empty Handed", taken from their forthcoming album on Fabrique Records.
You can hear the single on Soundcloud:
The single comes out September 16th.

Philadelphia trio Transitshop just released their debut album Velocity this week (August 13, 2013) via Rock Ridge Music.
The reason why the band is listed here is because they've described the lead vocalist/guitarist Chris O’Brien as "sweet and luxuriously pining vocals reminiscent of Morrissey". But happier.
Check out "Collective":
Transitshop is currently on tour in support of Velocity, see schedule below:
08/17/13 – Brooklyn, NY / Way Station
08/21/13 – Philadelphia, PA / Milkboy
