This might seem the dream of more than a few fans of British music of the 80's and 90's, but it is real. A super band that includes members of Cocteau Twins, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp and Echo and the Bunnymen has formed. Their name is The Hookham Boys and they are playing tonight (11/26) for the first time in London at a charity concert.
Far from Studio 54 and John Travolta, the drummer Pat Mahoney and James Murphy, leader of LCD Soundsystem, embarked on the Special Disco Version, a 3-month tour that will rescue the "fugitive spirit" of disco music and its influence in electronic music with a very special DJ set. Exclusive parties, full of energy and good taste, will be held all around the world.
The first single of Viva La Vida or Death an All His Friends, the new album of Coldplay, was “Violet Hill”, which can be downloaded for free from their website. This promotion method is only one of the measures Chris Martin's band is planning to take in order to assuage their guilt for being major-label signees.
