The new Richmond Fontaine album has again received some great press and is their first record to chart over in Europe where it went into the UK, Swedish and Dutch charts. The band has returned to the US for a few shows after their most successful UK tour to date. They will be returning to Ireland and mainland Europe in a few weeks for some more shows in a few weeks. We are also booking their return UK dates for the end of Feb beginning of March when Willy will have his new book ‘Lean on Pete’ released as well as a new tour cd. We will have Richmond Fontaine shirts for sale here very soon for those of you who couldn’t make it out to one of the shows or if they toured no where near you!

Mark Eitzel will be returning to the UK this next week and mainland Europe in support of his new album “Klamath” which you can purchase here online now (or pick up at his shows) Klamath is his first proper solo album of brand new material since Invisible Man back in 2001. It was written over the past year and most of the recording was done in a tiny wood cabin in Happy Camp, Klamath in Northern California. This is Eitzel’s late night album and primarily based around his acoustic guitar and limited percussion/electronics. To us here it is best work in a long time and truly beautiful. If that were not enough Mark also has a completely acoustic tour cd he will be selling at the shows and will be online here by Oct 12th.

Chuck Prophet is in the middle of his European tour dates in support of his amazing new album "Let Freedom Ring" which is out now on Cooking Vinyl and a few copies are available here to order as well. The album was recorded in Mexico City and follows the destruction of the American Dream. It has 4 star reviews everywhere and the shows are some of Chucks best yet.

Franz Nicolay is supporting Chuck on a few dates and will then be heading out on the road with Mark Eitzel, playing songs from his great album Major General which UNCUT gave the debut Album of the month to. He will also be returning to Germany for a full tour in December supporting Moneybrother for some big dates. Franz will soon have the dates up on his site

Last but not least Ray Davies is heading out on the road now for some Swedish, Norwegian and a Amsterdam date where he will be playing songs from his new Collected album as well as tracks from the Kinks catalogue. He will be heading over to the US for his first Choral shows there in support of The Kinks Choral Collection which will be re-released here in November with a bonus track.
