New Broadcast (RIP Trish Keenan Jan 2011)

An Update

Dear All,
Sorry for not posting recently but it's been a little quiet in the world of Broadcast.
Since the end of the last tour the band have just been busily working away on the new LP, the tracks that I've heard so far sound fantastic - Trish's vocals sound sublime and the songs are spot on.
We hope to have the LP out in Summer 2005 with shows to follow.
Cheerio,
Martin

5 One Hour Empire (P)
6 Distant Call (?)

quick look at back catalogue suggests it's the eps minus the lp tracks:
(COLG = Come on Let's Go, missing title track)
(EP = Extended Play EP, missing Papercuts)
(EP2 = Extended Play 2 EP, missing Drums On Fire)
(P = Pendulum, missing title track)

don't know where the ? tracks are from. think 14 may be a typo. (http://angryape.com/news/2006/05/broadcast-the-future-crayon has only 18 tracks)

Broadcast will also be playing a handful of UK shows towards the end of July - we are hoping within the week to confirm shows in Bristol, London and Manchester along with the already announced show at the Supersonic festival in Birmingham on July 22nd.

Hammer Without A Master was an exclusive for the We Are Reasonable People/WAP 100 compilation.

(and only have the broadcast cds with me (ie not the various artists things or the 7" singles). and didn't know about 'DDL'. and 'Misc' still missing...)

'my' list doesn't have Test Area twice int. also it was a xpost to your first one.

There's a new song here: http://www.warprecords.com/?news=1359

Haven't heard it myself so I've no idea what sort of line-up/sound they're in these days.

OMG YAY.

The track is not taken from any forthcoming Broadcast release

Oh. :(

It's not bad, sounds like something off of Microphonics.

Microtonics*

What's the deal? Any word on a new release?

A member seems to disappear each time there's a new album, so I'm expecting the next one to be Trish all by her lonesome.

Echo's Answer is scary in a little-boy-staying-up-to-watch-scary-movies-on-USA-Network way.

stop reviving this thread if there isn't any new broadcast!

YEAH

First news on their website in 12 months:

Broadcast play live 13th January 2009

Dear All, Broadcast will be playing live on May 31st 2009 at Le Weekend, a great little festival in Stirling, Scotland. Cheerio Martin

New EP in October! And a US/CAN tour.

Nice!

Finally!

oh good, i was just pondering the other day how long it's been since they put out something.... and figured there were on ice.

*they were on ice

Someone tell Spotify they've got two different Broadcasts occupying one page. Our Broadcast, and some daft power-pop group.

Any new track out there?

Just flagging up a live date at Vortex in London:

11 October: NEW REALMS OF THE UNCANNY
Broadcast (live) & Julian House (Ghost Box) (film)
The Caretaker
Thomas Ankersmit

Fantastic line-up/event. Such a thing will never happen in the Netherlands I presume (even though 25% is dutch!) :-|

Cover of the new isssue of the Wire. New EP is 'Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age'.

http://www.accesshiphop.com/images/covers/18045_b.jpg

Ah, I missed this thread last time it was bumped, was just going to post details of that show in October. Tickets should be available here http://www.wegottickets.com/f/977 but they're 'currently not available'. I'm going to selfishly hope it's not happening because I'm out of the country.

Is that the EP sleeve then? It's very similar to the last one, in a way that their previous stuff hasn't been.

I think that's it. Comic book font makes me think of SY's Goo.

Wooooo! Playing here on my birthday again. This happened five years ago.

i should go to this Vortex thing, didn't see it before cheers nick/jona

"Ghost Box 12, The Transactional Dharma of Roj, by Roj will be available on CD and download from our shop on 28th September or you can pre-order it right now.

Roj, a former member of Broadcast, executes psychedelic tone paintings with a battery of exotic percussion, analogue electronics, and tape. Beautiful booklet design by Julian House and text by Ken Hollings, journalist, broadcaster and author of Welcome to Mars . You can hear some clips here.

Broadcast and The Focus Group

We're very excited to confirm that in October this year, Warp records will be releasing a mini album by Broadcast and The Focus Group - we're hoping to have copies available in the Ghost Box shop when its available."

very excited about both of the above, btw

That Vortex gig sold out now, by the looks of things. After I changed my entire life so I wouldn't be away that week.

According to the Wire interview the Ep is something like 30mins long and has 15 songs or something, although I think only 5 or so have singing (these numbers are completely off the top of my head tbh). Kind of like the Pendulum single with extra Microtonics I guess.

this is gonna be a noise thing huh

from the look of them (in wire) it's going to be hippy dippy / more folky (because people always sound how they dress)

focus group samples here:

http://bleep.com/index.php?page=release_details&releaseid=5183

it's not 1000000 miles away from last broadcast lp.

hauntology LOLs

http://warp.net/records/broadcast/new-mini-album-broadcast-and-the-focus-group-investigate-witch-cults-of-the-radio-age-out-now-to-download/

sounding pretty haha sound-ish

Well, I love it.

Esp. when it gets deliberately Valerie & Her Week of Wonders-ish toward the end.

From that (great) video it seems that The Focus Group has injected a new kind of strangeness into the Broadcast sound.
There's a short post by Simon Reynolds about this year's crop of Ghost Box recordings at his blog: http://blissout.blogspot.com/

Yeah. A lot of fantastic stuff on that label.
