Pulp
Pulp - Different Class (1995) So many great songs on this album, from their hit "Common People", to the revenge "I Spy", to the dance favorite "Disco 2000", to kinkiness "Underwear". Love Jarvis Cocker and his wonderful songwriting. I have bought this album

Legendary Britpop band
Pulp is doing their “This Is What We Do For An Encore” tour in the US and Canada. We haven’t seen Pulp in America since 1997, so this is a big deal.
Hopefully, if these tickets sell well for these limited dates, that Pulp can expand their American tour to more cities.
We saw the band in
Australia and noted that it might be the band’s last performance in the country: “I want to wrap Jarvis Cocker up in greaseproof paper and take him home for later. We saw him a couple of years ago playing his own stuff, and it wasn’t a fraction as good as this. The dancing was unexpected but very impressive. He kept saying it might be the last time Pulp ever plays in Australia. I hope he’s wrong, because that would make me very sad.
It was hard for me to tear my attention away from Jarvis and his energetic on-stage presence, hip shaking dance moves and ongoing chatter with the crowd between songs. I was so focused on him that I really didn’t notice the rest of the band, although I am sure they existed. The entire set was great, in particular the songs ‘Sorted for E’s and Wizz’, ‘Babies’, and ‘Underwear’. However the stand out highlight was, of course, the final song, ‘Common People’. An unforgettable performance.”
Tour dates:
8 Sep 2024– Chicago, IL - Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom
10 Sep 2024 – Toronto, ON – HISTORY
13 Sep 2024 – Brooklyn, NY – Kings Theatre
16 Sep 2024 – San Francisco, CA - Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

Paul Weller
The Modfather Paul Weller is currently on a tiny US tour heading to Riot Fest in Chicago. For some reason, Minneapolis is just one of four US non-festival dates, and so naturally, the Varsity Theater show last night, September 10th, was sold out.

The great Modfather
Paul Weller announced his first North American tour since 2017. The influential singer (who inspired many Britpop bands) is touring in support of his upcoming album

66 includes contributions from Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Madness’ Suggs McPherson, Richard Hawley, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr Robert, Le SuperHomard’s Christophe Vaillant, and Erland Cooper, with string arrangements by Hannah Peel.

We saw Weller when he was last here in
Oct 2017 and wrote, “After the intermission, lights dimmed as the intro music of The Beatles’ ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ announced Paul Weller and his band taking the stage for a breathtaking two and a half hour headlining set that would touch on all points, of his over four-decade long career. Weller has surrounded himself with a crack band for the tour featuring longtime sidemen Steve Cradock (guitar), Andy Crofts (bass), Steve Pilgrim (drums), and Ben Gordelier (percussion) as well as new addition Tom Van Heel (keys) and kicked things off with 2015’s ‘I’m Where I Should Be’, a song which encapsulated The Modfather’s confidence in still finding his place in today’s musical landscape and also echoed the sentiments of the thousand people in attendance cheering him on.”

Sep 06 Red Bank NJ – Count Basie Center for the Arts
Sep 07 Brooklyn NY – Kings Theatre

Lush
I have mentioned this at various time, I was more of the Britpop-sounding Lush vs their early shoegazing beginning. That doesn't mean I don't occasional enjoy listening to Gala or Spooky

Miki Berenyi
twitter.com/berenyi_miki
Known for her brightly dyed red hair and her dreamy, star-dusted pop songs,
Miki Berenyi had an unmistakable presence as one of the founding members of
Lush, one of the penultimate British shoegaze bands of the 80s and 90s. A few decades on from that band’s heyday, Berenyi is gearing up for a U.S. tour with her own band, which includes her romantic partner, “Moose” McKillop. (She also has an autobiography out now in the U.S.,
Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success, which was originally released in 2022 in the UK.) The trio treads familiar terrain as her previous bands (not including the Britpoppy interlude)—dreamy, sometimes dystopian pop with lots of crunchy, distorted guitars, all anchored by Berenyi’s ethereal vocals. The red locks may now be raven, but Berenyi and her band’s music still commands attention.
Lush (18 Sep 2016)

We saw Lush in 1994 and when they reunited for a few dates in
Sep 2016 and wrote, “I was surprised just how great Lush sounded after all these years. Sure, I have complained a little when they sped up many of their songs for their live shows, but I understand that they have to keep it fresh. Again, while I privately enjoyed Lush’s music in the last 20 years by myself... it certainly felt weird to share the same love as all the other 1,400 fans at the show.”
