Morrissey postponed Houston White Oak show due to flooding

Courtesy of White Oak Music Hall Read More Morrissey This is somewhat old news, but Morrissey is working on an all-covers album called California Son (produced by Joe Chiccarelli and will be released by BMG), according to the official .… Interpol If there is one thing to know about Interpol, it's that the band is always nicely dressed up for their show. Since the New York band came on the music scene with their critically acclaimed 2002 album Turn on the Bright Lights, the band's …

At the last minute, it was announced that the Morrissey’s Houston show that was set for yesterday (21 September 2019) had been cancelled due to extreme flooding.

Personally speaking, I don’t blame Morrissey for this one, considering they might be on the road and the flooding had caused delays in their travel or for safety reasons.

Here’s the full statement from the venue, White Oak Music Hall:

A statement from the Moz team --

"Due to complications from the extreme flood conditions in the Houston area, the Morrissey / Interpol concert set to take place tonight has been re-scheduled for Oct 28th.

It was determined to move the event in consideration and respect of the troubles that people in the area have recently encountered.

It is the group’s wishes that the rescheduled date can better serve all who would like to come to the event.

Morrissey’s team reached the decision after hearing that a number of ticket buyers were having issues attending tonight’s event, along with information of current road closures and other related problematic details.

The team would like to express their deepest apologies for any inconvenience to the fans.

All tickets originally purchased for September 21st show will be honored for the new date on October 28th, 2019."

We know there’s a lot of questions here, so we hope this answers them:

Q. Is the show canceled?
A. No, but it IS being postponed.

Q. What is the new date?
A. October 28th, 2019.

Q. Is Interpol playing the new date?
A. Yes! We are going to bring both bands back on the rescheduled date.

Q. What is going to happen with my tickets?
A. Your ticket, including all parking and upgrade vouchers, will automatically be valid for the rescheduled date. You don’t have to do anything on your end.

Q. What if I can’t make the rescheduled date?
A. Totally get it. We hope everyone can join us, but know this can throw off everyone’s plans. If you can’t make the new date, e-mail [redacted] and we will put the refund back on the original card used to purchase tickets. For tickets bought in cash at the WOMH box office, come by the box office and we will get you a refund. IMPORTANT: Refund requests are due by 9/30/2019.

Q. I bought tickets from someone else. How do I get a refund?
A. If you bought your tickets from a friend, Craigslist, StubHub, or anywhere that was NOT off of our website (or at our box office), please contact the person who you bought the ticket from.

Q. I told you Morrissey was going to cancel!
A. We get it, we’re so bummed by this. Everyone is dedicated to bringing this show to the fans of Houston. Bear with us and we’ll make it happen…

For a full compilation of every date that Morrissey had ever cancelled, go here. So far, 7 dates (in 2019) have been postponed.

After supporting Greta Van Fleet, Los Angeles-based rock band Dorothy continues with their final leg of their “Freedom Tour” ... stopping by the Varsity Theater this Friday, February 1st.

We caught the band (led by Budapest-born singer Dorothy Martin) in Jan 2018 and wrote, “Martin’s vocals naturally soar like a young Ann Wilson with the new material generally upbeat and more blues-tinged than last year’s Rockisdead (on Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Records?!) album. After the crunchy Zeppelin-esque ‘Who Do You Love’ Martin commented briefly about the weather, but quickly got on with things, determined to keep the heat already generated, inside the building.”

New York’s Spirit Animal to open.

Australian alt-rock duo Hockey Dad is co-headlining with Hunny for the upcoming 7th Street Entry show on February 4th.

If the name Hockey Dad sounds familiar, that’s because they were one of our picks for SXSW 2018. As for Hunny, we saw them in Oct 2016 and said, “Hunny (not to be confused with Christian rock band Honey), opened up the show, playing tracks from their Pain/Ache/Loving EP. The last time we saw the band in October 2015, they did not have all their band members... not so on this current tour. As you can see from the photo, all six band members were accounted for (Jason, Jake, Joey, Jacob, Gregory, and Kevin).”

We caught Dan Mangan (back when he was touring as Dan Mangan + Blacksmith in Oct 2014 and wrote, “From Vancouver "the most cities", Dan Mangan + Blacksmith are normally a larger band, but for this tour, their guitarist Gordon just had a baby, so they are a stripped down three-piece for this tour.”

New York's Interpol is currently on a very successful US tour in support of their latest album El Pintor (Matador Records).

Hundred Waters

Florida's Hundred Waters started the show. Singer Nicole Miglis confessed that she was a massive Interpol fan, having seen them live ten years ago in the front roll... now she's sharing the stage with them and she couldn't be any happier.

Hundred Waters' Nicole Miglis

The thing about Hundred Waters is that their music is blending of electronic and traditional organic sound, produced live by Nicole Miglis (vocals, keys), Paul Giese (electronics, guitars), Zach Tetreault (drums, percussion, trumpets), and Trayer Tryon (electronics, guitars, production). Miglis' lyrics are deeply personal and emotional, sometime you think she's too shy and awkward to perform live... except, of course, Miglis is pretty happy as she's seen dancing and taking off her jacket for "Xtalk".

The majority of their set was from their latest The Moon Rang Like a Bell (OWSLA) album, including "Show Me Love", "Murmurs", "Cavity", "Out Alee", "Chambers (Passing Train)", "Down From the Rafters" (one of the mic didn't work for this song), "[Animal]".

If there is one thing to know about Interpol, it's that the band is always nicely dressed up for their show. Since the New York band came on the music scene with their critically acclaimed 2002 album Turn on the Bright Lights, the band's been widely accepted as a top act on NME and Pitchfork's list. They eventually signed to major label Capitol Records, but since 2009, the band is back with Matador Records... a move possibly for creative control and direction.

After the band's appearance at Reading and Leeds in 2011, Interpol decided to take a long break. Now back with a fifth studio album El Pintor (an anagram for Interpol) for 2014, the band seem rejuvenated and excited to be back performing.

Time Out

Singer Paul Banks addressed Dengler's departure, as well as the new tour and returning back to the music scene, in the latest issue of Time Out (featuring the band on the cover).

As expected with a tour for a new album, about half the set were devoted to El Pintor ("My Blue Supreme", "Anywhere", "My Desire", "Everything Is Wrong", "Breaker 1", "All The Rage Back Home"), with the majority of the rest of the set for their beloved debut Turn on the Bright Lights ("Say Hello to the Angels", "Untitled", "PDA", "NYC", "Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down").

The stage setup had the band playing with a movie projection, custom-made to sync with their live set. However, the first few songs, only the image of their El Pintor album was used, making sure we all knew what the new album looked like.

Banks had little to say between their songs, but when he did talk, it's usually to compliment the audience for their big cheers, "You guys are f***ing awesome."

Despite being absent from the music scene in three years, with the strong audience attendee response... it felt like Interpol never really left. Look for both Hundred Waters and Interpol on this sold out US tour, ending at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, on December 1st.

For London singer FKA twigs (aka Tahliah Debrett Barnett), it’s the opposite of a Twilight – it’s the beginnings of a very promising career. Her much anticipated debut album, titled LP1 (via Young Turks) was just released in August, as a follow up to the previous EP1 and EP2 releases.

Prince has professed to being a fan, Time magazine has called the album “that transition to one of the most compelling and complex acts in R&B", Pitchfork says of it, “a huge album, a monumental debut,” and The Guardian declared, “LP1 is genuinely brilliant.” With that acclaim, a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize, and attention-grabbing headlines as Robert Pattinson’s current squeeze, it’s no wonder the buzz is scorching hot and the area show long sold out.

If you love rockabilly, The Brian Setzer Orchestra is back in town to rock it inside out... Brian Setzer does not need an introduction. I grew up listening the Stray Cats' hits "Stray Cat Strut", "(She's) Sexy + 17", and "Rock This Town", so I love Setzer.

Opener Los Angeles' The Record Company band is described by the Time Out LA as if "John Lee Hooker and The Stooges had a love-child", which to say is blues and rock fusion music. Look for the band to play some tracks from their Superdead debut EP, as well as recent cuts like "Rita Mae Young", on this 2014 tour.

Minneapolis Music Guide: July 20 - July 26, 2014

Here is the weekly guide of some Minneapolis (and St Paul) live concerts and events from July 20 to July 26.

Read More Vans Warped Tour Unlike other stationary music festivals like SXSW or Glastonbury, the Warped Tour (or rather Vans Warped Tour) is one of those rare travelling music festivals. Traditionally, the Warped Tour feature more punk-rock music …

SUNDAY, JULY 20
CANTERBURY PARK
Vans Warped Tour

We covered Vans Warped Tour last year and we were only able to cover about seven bands (one stage)... which is pretty sad, because there are hundreds of bands on the lineup. If you are attending this year's show, taking place this July 20th, you'll just have to pick and choose your battle and have fun watching as many bands as possible.

My personal picks are Saves the Day, Anberlin (their last tour before they break up!), Yellowcard, and Sleeper Agent.

Here are just some of the bands playing this year:

Mayday Parade, Beartooth, Air Dubai, For Today, The Mixtapes, Stray From The Path, Teenage Bottlerocket, Plague Vendor, Tear Out The Heart, The Protomen, Attila, Saves The Day, A Skylit Drive, The Ghost Inside, The Ready Set, The Devil Wears Prada, The Color Morale, Nit Grit, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Anberlin, Survive This!, Cute Is What We Aim For, Issues, Crown The Empire, State Champs, The Maine, Volumes, Enter Shikari, I The Mighty, Alive Like Me, Secrets, MC Chris, Terror, Breathe Carolina, Falling In Reverse, I Fight Dragons, This Wild Life, Courage My Love, Bad Rabbits, Real Friends, To The Wind, Ice Nine Kills, Every Time I Die, Scare Don't Fear, Of Mice & Men, Yellowcard, Bayside, Four Year Strong, Crizzly, Antiserum, K.Flay, Marmozets, Brian Marquis, Lionize, Echosmith, Sleeper Agent, The Word Alive, Beebs And Her Money Makers, Rob Lynch

Read More Matt & Kim “Tuesday night New York dance party!” Matt declared towards the beginning of their show at Webster Hall. That about summed up the atmosphere in the large venue, where a sea of people all jumped up …

MATT AND KIM
mattandkimmusic.com

Did you catch Matt and Kim's video for "Let's Go" on Funny or Die? The video seems like a little Awkward Family Photos and Sia's "You've Changed".

"Let's Go" is the single from Matt and Kim's fourth album, Lightning, available now via FADER. Fans of the duo said that the new album is "less slick" than their previous effort Sidewalks. That sounds just fine, considering that the band is probably known for their high energy live shows. From Kateg's previous coverage, she summed it up: "[their show] ran on a ridiculous amount of energy and good cheer."

Sounds like a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to finally seeing the band this November 7th at First Avenue.

Also, check out the song via their Soundcloud page:

GOLD FIELDS
goldfieldsmusic.com

I've already mentioned these Australians a few times, mostly because I love Astralwerks. This electronic quintet is Mark Robert Fuller (vocals), Vin Andanar (guitar/vocals), Rob Clifton (keys/percussion), Ryan D’Sylva (drums) and Luke Peldys (bass).

While the band was here in the States in March, they've decided to come back to do a proper tour. They've also just recently released "Dark Again" (October 9th), the first single from their debut album Black Sun, due out January 2013.

Attending CMJ this year? They'll be making special appearances throughout the festival.

I will be stopping by to see Gold Fields at The Nether Bar (the bar underneath Mill City Nights) and then stopping by the Turf Club for The Soft Pack.

Interpol free tour EP

Interpol: Lights

Interpol is offering a free Tour EP at interpolnyc.com/tourep.

The three tracks includes songs from the beautiful twins School of Seven Bells, Matthew Dear, and Interpol. Of course, this 'free' comes with the cost of giving your email to them, which is a small price to pay. Since I do like these bands, I am passing along this information to you.

According to Interpol's note, it seems that they've been delayed due to weather and such. Might not have been a good idea to tour in the year of "snowarmageddon" (aka a normal day in Minnesota).

North American Tour EP
This has been a fun trek through North America. We've been graced thus far by Old Man Winter not hitting us with too many weather related delays. Well, besides sleeping on the bus at the edge of the highway one night while we waited for the roads to be plowed but hey that's a whole other story. And we did have to cancel the SLC show due to serious illness which was most unfortunate. However, all in all, the shows have been tremendous while the audiences have been... well, electrifying.

We're also pleased to announce that School of Seven Bells will be supporting us on our US Dates in April and May. They've been tearing it up on this tour and it's a pleasure to watch them each & every night.

We're also delighted that Matthew Dear will not only be joining us on the upcoming March European Dates but that he'll also be playing with us at the Shepherd's Bush Empire show in London. We've been admirers of Mr Dear's work for quite some and we're most definitely looking forward to these dates.

As a celebration of these tours, we wanted to offer a little jukebox on all three bands. We hope you enjoy.

Fondly,
Interpol
