Love Police Touring announce an extensive national tour throughout June/July for UK’s, Ben Ottewell. Familiar to a faithful following as the most recognisable voice in Mercury Prize-winning Southport five-piece Gomez, Ottewell released his first solo album, Shapes & Shadows, via ATO/Shock Records in 2011. While Gomez is a three-singer band, Ottewell's powerful tenor has graced many fan favourites, from early songs like ‘Get Miles’ and ‘Revolutionary Kind’ to the more recent singles ‘How We Operate’ and ‘See The World.’ In one early profile, Rolling Stone declared, "Gomez's [...]

On the walk over to the Mod Club, I had told Paul I was skeptical of the crowd size for the Gomez show on Monday. I had estimated it would be about half full. After all, this is a band that had ascended to the top well over a decade ago. Their Mercury Prize winning debut album Bring It On had put them at the top of music conversations everywhere at that time. I still remember reading that Zoe Ball (famous BBC1 personality back then) had been moved to tears upon hearing the track [...]
Humor habe die Iren. Einer der ersten Eintrge des Live-Blogs der Irish Time lautete in etwa: "Das spanische Team ist im Stadion angekommen. Unsere Chancen schwinden." Und sie haben ein groes Herz. Allerdings knnen die Iren nicht wirklich Fuball spielen. Beim Spiel gegen die Spanier war die sympathische Truppe nicht mehr als Kanonenfutter. Aber sie haben (ihren Mglichkeiten gem) gekmpft. Was die Iren aber mit Sicherheit knnen, und die wunderbaren letzten Minuten des Spiels zeugen davon, sie knnen singen. Da gab es, der Moderator hat fr Minuten dankenswerterweise die Fresse gehalten, ein im tausend stimmigen Chor vorgetragene Version [...]

Steve Double Whenever an old/classic album is reissued these days - which is pretty much every day - it's inevitably advertised as having been remastered, and it's assumed that that's a good thing. And not unreasonably - when a lot of these albums were originally released on compact disc, they were poorly converted from analog to digital and could generally sound thin/quiet/uninspiring. But remastering is no guarantee of improvement - at best, things will sound incredibly better (the 20th anniversary redo of The Stone Roses' debut by original producer John Leckie is a revelation), [...]
Considering the wide range of your output (illustration, photography, video), how would you best describe your practice? I cannot focus on any medium in particular because I love every one of them individually. Each skill has its own essence. The thing I like the most is working with them separately and then bringing them together, [...]
I can't believe I'll be in New Orleans this weekend . I kept saying this to myself again and again in the days leading up to my departure from Chicago. This wasn't exactly said in excitement, either - no, in fact, you could say it was laced with anxiety and stress. I'd be traveling alone to a city I'd never been to and what's worse, I was sick with a diet version of the flu, and couldn't stop sucking down vitamin D capsules and crackling open Sudafed packets. So, on Wednesday night, I paced around my apartment, muttering things to [...]
I Gomez tornano in Italia, domani a Bologna e sabato a Milano, per presentare il nuovo album Whatever's on your mind . Un grande ritorno su disco ed un grande ritorno live per quella che è da considerare a tutti gli effetti una delle migliori band inglesi degli ultimi venti anni di musica pop britannica. Continua a leggere Gomez: il 13 aprile all'Estragon di Bologna e il 14 ai Magazzini Generali Milano... Commenta
I always thought it was a bunch of crap whenever I hear people talk about not being able to be fans or emphatic about Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I like both, but I've noticed with my older age, I've started leaning more towards the Stones. Gomez takes a brilliant stab at "Jumpin' Jack Flash," with rapid tempo changes as their twist on the classic Stones track. Download the track below and catch them on a short SE tour of the US at the dates below. The lads are also offering their show from [...]
¿Sí están pasando rico durante esta Semana Santa? ¿Tomando el sol en balneario? ¿Oyendo Rikarena, Tupamaros, etc.? Mentira, que yo sé que les tocó quedarse en la casa porque la plata no alcanza ni para salir a comer merengón de baúl de Renault 18 Break. En Cortesía de la Casa lo entendemos y por eso hemos preparado un mixtape especial. Para que acompañe esta semana y reflexione. Para que el próximo marzo no se gaste toda su plata en conciertos. Para que alcance a dejar alguito para el paseo de olla. De los [...]
Sul finire degli anni ’90 il sound tipico del british-pop fu squarciato dall’ingresso in scena di cinque personaggi dei dintorni di Brighton. Si trattava dei Gomez , che esplosero su scala europea grazie al capolavoro “Bring It On” uno dei migliori esordi in ambito indie-rock britannico di sempre, un disco particolare e originalissimo, lontano dagli espedienti tipici del brit-pop tanto di moda all’epoca. I Gomez realizzano all’epoca un disco fatto di melodie sghembe, dove le voci di Ben Ottwell e Ian Ball si aggrovigliano tra di loro con due timbri vocali davvero agli [...]

The members of Gomez have been playing together for just over 15 years, but the lineup hasn't changed since the band's official formation in 1997. It’s quite a feat considering that two of the members are currently living in the U.S. while three are in England. The band's most recent album, Whatever's on Your Mind , was released last summer and was a solid addition to the band's repertoire. Gomez kicked off their Quinceañera tour, celebrating their 15 years together last month; to make it special, Gomez is letting fans vote for their five favorite songs from the band [...]

“What’s wrong Chazzy Black, you look sad?” “I don’t know Linux, I know we have all this great music that came out in 2011 (Spinning Platters Top Ten Albums of 2011), but I’m just not happy. I like dreamy guitars, sad depressing themes, and booty shaking grooves and all that, but I’m just not sure [...]
