Music (The)

Some of you know that I've been championing the excellent second album from the english band 'The Music' entitled 'Welcome to the North'. This has not left my pc, stereo, car stereo, work van in over a month. I find little to excite me these days in the music world but this band blows me away.
I have a thread in the 'other music' forum but as the dates are current I felt it appropriate to inform you.
Anyway, there are a few remaining dates on the North American Tour. I implore any you close by to check them out.

11.01 Hamilton, ON Copps Coliseum
11.03 Fort Wayne, IN Allen Co. Memorial Coliseum
11.06 Rochester, NY Blue Cross Arena
11.09 Champaign, IL Assembly Hall
11.11 St. Cloud, MN Halenbeck Hall
11.12 De Kalb, IL NIU Convocation Center
11.13 St. Paul, MN Roy Wilkins Auditorium
11.15 Grand Forks, ND Ralph Engelstad Arena
11.18 Valley Center, KS Kansas Coliseum
11.19 Loveland, CO Budweiser Events Center

Celebrated by the Los Angeles Times for "a grand sound that mixes Zeppelin, Queen and U2 into an electronics-spiked sonic storm," The Music is incontrovertibly among today's preeminent new rock 'n' roll outfits. With the eagerly anticipated Welcome To The North, the UK-based quartet more than fulfills the stunning promise of their self-titled 2003 debut. The album sees The Music teaming up with legendary producer Brendan O'Brien, renowned for his work alongside such artists as Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine, Bruce Springsteen, and countless others.

"This is music made for stadiums. A happy meeting of dance music's communal vibe with rock's awesome bluster.. it's f****** massive in every way" 9.10 NME

"An album which screams ambition and progression"

"It sounds colossal and is unafraid to take on the three giants of epic rock - Led Zeppelin, U2 and Jane's Addiction"

Dweeb, U2 has influenced a majority of the current Christian Contemporary artists. Ask just about any of them and they will tell you they grew up with a love for U2. Or simply listen to their CDs and you can hear Edge and Bono. So, in a way, yes they are.

Ogg, no dates near H and I. Oy.

The irony is that the singer really does sound like our Sir Geddy of Lee and the wife thinks he looks like him as well.
I think that you may be hearing the name before long, just remember who told you first. I've just downloaded a few filmed live tracks, good stuff.

You've let yourself down SirM'

. U2 are a classic band in evey sense and above criticism in my eyes. Janes Addiction are another great, very influential band...for shame.

for shame indeed! Stupid Canuck. U2 is wunnerful. Next he's gonna be saying that Pink Floyd is borring, and The Rolling Stones are lame.
