NewsBlonde Redhead plot North American tourBlonde Redhead have announced that they will play 23 North American dates this summer and autumn in support of their recent album, '23'. The New York-based trio will kick off their jaunt on August 3 at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. They'll then play several gigs across US, including free performances at Brooklyn's McCarren Park Pool on August 5 and Los Angeles' Sunset Junction festival on August 18. They're also set to play two Canadian festivals in September. The band will wrap things up in Boston on September 26. Arctic Monkeys close Old Trafford residency Arctic Monkeys rounded off their second headlining show with another storming performance at Lancashire County Cricket Club tonight (July 29). Although the band managed to escape the sound problems which affected their first show, the Sheffield four-piece had to stop the gig momentarily during 'Still Take You Home' when the crowd surged forward. Singer Alex Turner announced to the crowd: "You're not going to believe this but can you all take a step back please?" After a few minutes the band were able to carry on but then they had to stop briefly during 'Dancing Shoes' for the same reason. Despite the minor crowd problems, their second show proved to be a triumph with much of the crowd belting out the words to a host of singles from their two albums including 'Fluorescent Adolescent', 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', 'Brianstorm', 'When The Sun Goes Down' and debut album favourite 'Mardy Bum'. In reference to the audience's participation, Turner quipped: "You're a lairy bunch you lot, lairier than yesterday apparently." Later, the band were forced to stop midway through 'View From The Afternoon' because Turner was unable to contain his laughter when he spotted a member of the crowd dressed as the Bo Selecta caricature of Craig David. "That is fucking freaking me out," Turner told the audience before he added: "Get the camera on that guy." As the Sheffield four-piece brought their second show to a close the band played 'Fluorescent Adolescent' yet again before Turner took over keyboard duties for '505'. Signing off with 'A Certain Romance' the singer added: "Thank you very much for coming. We should do this every year. We've had good weather, plenty of sunshine and good bands as well." |
