2005 January 23 news You might have noticed I opened a separate Twilight section. Let me know what you think. Birdman Records release a vinyl edition of "She Loves You" tomorrow, with uncensored artwork and the Beatles' "Her Majesty" as a bonus track. Other forthcoming releases to be expected this
year: Don't forget, Greg Dulli with The Section are playing at The Echo in Los Angeles on January 27. If you're there, please tape it. Should be a great performance! 2005 January 18 news For news about the new Dulli project Uptown Lights, go to http://www.myspace.com/uptownlights. The band plays in the Club Spaceland next month, and hopes are high! I did some work here and there, on the Staggering Statistics (John Curley's band) discography for instance. Great band, check it out! More to come. 2005 January 7 news Happy New Year, y'all. Greg Dulli will be performing with The Section on January 27 at The Echo in Los Angeles, CA. The Section is a string quartet that performs rock and roll. I'm expecting some TS material and a few covers.

I have no idea what this is, but it's listed on the official Club Spaceland site. 2004 December 21 news A new MP3 of the week (why do I keep calling it that, the song stays online for months in a row?) - this time it's a Dylanized version of That's Just How That Bird Sings by founding Twilight Singers member Harold "Happy" Chichester.

John Curley's new band Staggering Statistics will be playing a session on the Cincinnati based radio station WOXY (www.woxy.com) on December 21. Go check it out, it's a great band. Rick McCollums new band MoonMaan has some MP3's on their site, pretty good stuff. There's a lot to listen to these days. A link to the MoonMaan site is available through the Lagniappe section, but you already know that don't you. 2004 November 18 news / updates A lot of news and updates. In the meantime the Twilight Singers released a single from "She Loves You'': "Too Tough To Die" c/w "Hard Time Killing Floor". No non album tracks here. A radio session for the program World Cafe will be aired on December 1. They have announced a tour through the south of Europe in December: December 8 - Auditorium Flog, Florence
(Italy) Staggering Statistics, John Curley's band, released their debut album, available from www.staggeringstatistics.com. Updates: the discography almost up to date. Some new shows in the trades section. 2004 September 21 news The Twilight Singers have expanded their US Fall tour. October 13 - North Star, Philadelphia, PA The band also have plans to record a session for the radio show World Cafe prior to the tour. Check out the World Cafe site for more info. They also recorded a session in 2003, which was never aired, by the way... Staggering Statistics, John Curley's band, will
be releasing their debut CD one of these days now. The album was already
available online on
www.staggeringstatistics.com, but the band have
decided to make it a proper CD, hopefully available through their site. And
according to John: "Maybe there's a secret track [on it], too." Rick McCollum's new band Moon Maan are playing the Minneapolis area on a regular basis. They have an album on the way, probably early 2005. Keep an eye on their site www.moonmaan.com for details. 2004 September 7 news/update Twilight Singers have announced a few concert dates in the US. October 13 - North Star, Philadelphia, PA
Two updates on the Twilight Singers discography (see discography - odds and ends): all info on "She Loves You", including US, UK, European and Australian release details. Plus a radio promo CDS of "Papillon (radio edit)" combined with "Wicked", released last june. Thank you Steven at Labelman for providing that info and artwork. 2004 August 24 update Twilight Singers tour is over. Check out the "MP3 of the week" for a live version of the new song Candy Cane Crawl, one of the five tracks the band already recorded for a new album. A world exclusive, to quote Greg. The show in Utrecht was awesome, by the way. Thank you Greg, Jon, Bobby, Sully and Peter. They try to be back in Europe next March to promote their new album. 2004 August 18 update Managed to find three more dates from the Whigs' tour in Holland, February 1991. Look for them down the concert archive. Thank you, Marike! The Twilight Singers tour in Europe started tonight in London, scroll below for the full list of dates. Mark Lanegan's album "Bubblegum", with Greg Dulli singing on "Metamphetamine Blues", entered the Dutch album top 50 this week, on 39. Way to go! The Staggering Statistics, John Curley's new band, have a few dates as well, in the Cincinnati area. Check out their site for more info (go to lagniappe and find the link) and you'll have a chance to listen to their first album as well! 2004 August 10 news "She loves you" has gone on presale at One Little Indians' online store www.onelittleshop.com this week. There's 30 second MP3 samples of each track available too. Here you can order the UK version of the covers album, that is released (and shipped) on September 6. But buying the album straight from the label, probably means more money for them and so indirectly for the band. The OLI TS-site www.indian.co.uk/twilightsingers is another way to reach the shop, by the way. All the dates for the upcoming European mini tour: August 18 - Scala, London (UK) (sold out) 2004 July 9 news Site exclusive: three songs from the "She Loves You" album. Enjoy. Go buy it. It's an amazing record. 2004 July 7 news Twilight Singers in Europe: the first dates are out. August 20: Pukkelpop festival, Hasselt (Belgium) The "She loves you" covers album will be released on August 24. Some highlights of the album will be made available very soon as "MP3 of the week". 2004 July 4 update I have been out of the picture for a while, missed the second leg of the US tour, missed the updates on the "She loves you" album, due out August 24, the plans for a live DVD and the contribution of Greg Dulli to the next Afterhours album. Even skipped the online only Staggering Statistics album, when John Curley approved I could link it all to you. Thank you, for all your sweet words.... I was not dead. I'll be running new stuff on the site again, hopefully very soon. I am sorry for cutting down a lot of communications short. You know who you are, please contact me. There may be some new shows in the trades section... 2004 March 1 news Two more Twilight Singers dates confirmed (not from the band, but from ticketmaster.com): March 30 - Baltimore, MD - Fletcher's Bar & Grill Full list (as of this moment): March 27 - Orlando, FL - The Social 2004 February 29 news Confirmed Twilight Singers dates as of this moment: March 27 - Orlando, FL - The Social Oh, and added a new "MP3 of the Week" stream.
