Gilded Palace Radio Show (27th Jan 2014)

Somebody poisoned the waterhole! The new Gilded Palace Radio Show is up with a little protest thrown in for our West Virginian friends. Can somebody explain why there's been hardly any media coverage? Shocking! Maybe it's a good day to get political... just make sure you've got a good attorney (we have: see Track 26).  

The early rush of great releases continues - this week we can add The New Mendicants (Joe Pernice, Norman Blake and Mike Belitsky (The Sadies) as well as Doug Paisley's third (with guest spots from Garth Hudson and Mary Margaret O'Hara) to the 'potential end-of-year contenders' pile.

"You do gotta want it!"

A quick heads-up about a couple of new releases. I don't plan to turn this into a release/review blog, but these are important to me and need every like-minded soul behind them to give them more exposure..

Austin Lucas has a brand new single released today.

Thunder Rail is released via Last Chance Records - direct link for the release is http://www.lastchancerecords.com/products/Austin-Lucas-%22Thunder-Rail%22-MP3-Digital-Single.html. It's also available on iTunes, but Last Chance will gift you a .99c rebate on the album when it's released: hey, dem's good beeble!

Speaking of albums, the new Dolorean I was raving about a while back, finally sees the light of day. The Unfazed is out on Fargo in UK and Europe (I know, we're *in* Europe...) and Partisan in the States. Blissful stuff for fans of Elliott Smith, Iron and Wine, Peter Bruntnell and Damien Jurado). Catch them on tour in February:
8th: Paris, France (with Deer Tick and Tift Merritt!)
9th: Gent, Belgium - Vooruit Cafe
10th: Haarlem, NL - Patronaat (with Ben Weaver)
11th: Leiden, NL - Q Bus (with Ben Weaver)
12th: Utrecht, NL - Ekko (with Ben Weaver)
13th: Ottersum, NL - Roepaen (with Ben Weaver)
15th: London, UK -  Lexington (Tickets)
16th: Nottingham, UK - Bodega (Tickets)
17th: Manchester, UK - Deaf Institute
 (Tickets)
18th: Oxford, UK - Bullingdon Arms (Tickets - dummies can't spell the band name. God help us!)

Finally, in just a couple of weeks, Malcolm Holcombe will release his new album - his first album for Music Road Records: To Drink The Rain is also the first produced by Jared Taylor, and (for my money) he really brings out the grit and fire evident in Malcolm's live performances - the humour too, the opening track 'One Leg At A Time' is hilarious!
