NewsThe Walkmen give NME tour updateThe Walkmen bassist has talked to NME.COM about their recent weeks on the road with Kaiser Chiefs on the NME Presents tour of North America. Speaking by phone from a car "somewhere in the middle of rural Washington State", Bauer admitted that although the band have been thoroughly enjoying touring with the massive British exports, they've not had a chance to hang out. "I haven't met them yet" he revealed. "I've met one of them, the fellow named Peanut. We've been going home (after the show). We're in a little van. We get ourselves hotel rooms. We don't like buses." And driving themselves has afforded the band the opportunity to sightsee. "It's been a hell of a drive" said Bauer "We've been driving non stop for 40 hours. It's been great. We stopped at the Grand Coulee Dam yesterday." And when the tour wraps up this weekend, Bauer says his band will resume work on the follow-up to 2006's 'A Hundred Miles Off'. "We're going to record our record all summer. We're around half way done, and we're hopefully going to finish it over the summer. We have an idea of putting it out in the fall. But it could come out anytime from fall to winter." And he says the band are very happy with how it's sounding so far: "It's sounding really, really great. Fantastic. We've actually recorded half of it. We've been doing it in Hoboken, New Jersey with an engineer called John Agnello. One of the songs is called 'I Lost You'. That's the one the band is most extremely excited about." Sigur Ros drop DVD and double CD this fall Sigur Ros have announced that they will release a DVD and a double CD in the US on November 6. The DVD titled 'Heima' (meaning "at home" or "homeland") features a series of free concerts the Icelandic band played in their homeland during summer 2006. Highlights include a previously unreleased performance of 'Guitardjamm' filmed inside a herring oil tank in the far West Fjords, a one-mic recording of 'Vaka' filmed at a dam protest camp, and first-time acoustic versions of 'Staralfur', 'Agaetis Byrjun' and 'Von'. The double CD is titled 'Hvarf/Heim' (meaning "disappeared/home"). The first disc consists primarily of songs that the band feel have disappeared from their history because they were never released or recorded. They were played acoustically on the road during the summer tour. The second disc contains live acoustic versions of tracks from all four Sigur Ros studio albums that were recorded in Iceland during summer 2006 and spring 2007. An exclusive screening of 'Heima' will be held in Akureyri, Iceland on September 14 before it officially premieres at the Icelandic International Film Festival in Reykjavik on September 27. |
