On Friday, fans gathered at Chicago's Vic Theatre to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club hit the city for an epic 22 song set as they promoted their seventh album, Specter At The Feast released on March 18th. Thenewno2 (pronounced the new number two) opened with a performance worthy of their Rolling Stone endorsement as one of The 10 Must-See Acts at Lollapalooza in 2012. The band, best known as the brainchild of Dhani Harrison (son of the late George Harrison), opened the night promptly at 8 pm. Their music is a multi-layered amalgamation of [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-05T21:54:14+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4599927/thenewno2-dhani-harrison-presenta-un-nuevo-vdeo/


No hablamos nunca de thenewno2 y es probable que para muchos lectores sea una banda annima. Si escarbamos un poco ms, nos enteraremos que es uno de los mltiples proyectos musicales de Dhani Harrison , el hijo del legendario George Harrison que, adems, tiene un buen talento para la msica. Personalmente me enganch con la banda gracias a una colaboracin con Regina Spektor en la cancin Live a Lie.

One of the most intriguing aspects of thenewno2 is how hard it is to pin down their sound. Maybe it's a sort of trip-pop Radiohead, or perhaps more of a psych-rock Beck. "Station", off of their recent thefearofmissingout LP, sums up this aural amalgamation pretty well in its chorus: "I'm changing so fast, you can't keep up."In the new video for the song, the band at least gives you a chance to try.

It's extremely unusual, in the modern live music scene, to see long-time-famous rock acts who are NOT following the popular gimmick of playing one of their classic albums from start to finish. It's a strange phenomenon to think about, because for many of these bands, such a concept would have seemed bizarre back in their [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-17T16:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4454362/hear-this-thenewno2/
Mystery, great songs, sound textures and not simply cashing in on the family name are what thenewno2 are all about.]]> text/html 2012-08-08T20:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4437648/reviewlisten-thenewno2-thefearofmissingout/


First things first: when it comes to music from thenewno2 , George Harrison comparisons will not be allowed. They're old, they're tired. Sure, Dhani Harrison looks and sounds like an echo of his father, but surely the fundamentals of genetics can't be that surprising any more. Since the quiet release of their first record, EP001 , in 2006, thenewno2 have certainly come far. What began as the twosome (Harrison on guitar and [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-01T02:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4422096/buy-thenewno2s-new-cd-digitally-for-s5-this-week/
I thought Kevin Tihista was George Harrison's son. Now you're telling me he's not? George's real son, Dhani , has been kicking around with his band, thenewno2 (pronounced "The new number two") since 2006 but have kept touring to a minimum. So, if you're not familiar with thenewno2, that's understandable. The band's second album, thefearofmissingout , was released today and, this week only, you can download the CD for $5 from Amazon . If you take advantage of this offer, [...]]]> text/html 2012-07-30T11:58:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4418001/album-review-thenewno2-thefearofmissingout/
Skimming over thenewno22 s past three years, it's tough to figure out what exactly Dhani Harrison and Paul Hicks are out to accomplish with their nearly unclassifiable music. Harrison's father was a Beatle, Hicks makes electronic music, and the collective has featured Regina Spektor and dabbled in rap. None of it seems to add up. 20092s You Are Here received a warm welcome from critics, though adjectives and genres used ranged from Beck comparisons to psychedelic rock to light trip-hop. On the closing track of their sophomore LP, thefearofmissingout , Harrison finally spells it out pretty [...]]]> text/html 2012-07-30T04:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4429343/thenewno2-george-harrisons-son-releases-the-fear-of-missing-out/
Dhani Harrison will never be able to live down the comparisons to his father just as Sean and Julian were unable to ever be reviewed without the mention of John Lennon's name. And, on the first release, "Make it Home", from Thenewno22s sophomore release, The Fear of Missing Out , Dhani does indeed sound like his father though the band's music is more modern day Radiohead (with electronic and dubstep elements) than classic era Beatles .

RR thenewno2 by Brian Lowe I wasnt quite sure what to expect from Dhani Harrisons music collective thenewno2 . Id heard their brand new sophomore album, but it was so textured and layered with sounds and styles - ranging from dub to electro I wasnt sure how it would play out live.

Last year, Dhani Harrison and thenewno2 experimented with hip-hop beats, spacey atmospheres, and guest appearances on their EP002 . It looks as if some of those ideas have carried over onto their newly announced sophomore full-length, thefearofmissingout , due July 31st on H.O.T Records Ltd. Produced by the Harrisonand Paul Hicks under their pHd moniker, the record blends programmed and live instrumentation with obscure samples to create an intricate collage of electronica sounds," according to a press release.

Today marks the 42nd anniversary of the announcement that John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star had broken up three years prior. Interestingly enough, it was also 42 years ago today that the Rolling Stones revealed that in 42 years they would be playing to larger audiences than ever without it coinciding with the release of an album. Weird. I don't, however, recall any of the Beatles mentioning anything about breeding with the intent to create another Beatles (maybe it was clause in their contract?).

If the sons of the Beatles formed a band together, would they be good? What would they be called? This scenario could actually happen if Paul McCartney's son, James, gets his wish.
