Wilco... new album and one show in London

[Guest]

Wilco's new album (titled 'Wilco - the album' ?) is streaming for free on their website. Only heard it once on the tiny, and tinny, pc speaker, but it sounds pretty good to me.

also one show in London at the Troxy, on August 25th. Never heard of the place before, but it looks very nice on it's website

very happy

oops, posted on the wrong forum

at primavera May 28th, and End of the road in september, any chance they will make an appearance at Glasto, i hope so, last album was brilliant

I would be very pleased if they played.

They have some great tunes and I'm really getting into them at the moment.

[Wooderson]

In many ways they are the best band on the planet right now. If I was working for GF I'd be busting a f*cking gut to get them to play.

Wouldn't go that far mate I don't really think any band is "The Best" band it's all down to taste. They do have some cracking tunes and Wilco A.M is a quality album too.

On a side note, my favourite album from The Fall is The Marshall Suite. It is a f**king quality album.

[MartinGooding]

Songs, musicianship, performance, consistency... Wilco tick all the boxes... its my opinion but I base this on buying 100 albums and seeing 100 bands a year for the last ten years.

*Marshall Suite is bad-ass but you need to be diggin' some Bend Sinister.

[Wooderson]

gotta agree with you there mate Wilco tick all the boxes for me and i need to see them live, hopefully eavis will be putting everything hes got into signing them up, where do you think they'd play?

[MartinGooding]

Played the Pyramid the last time. Could easily headline the Park Stage. Totally agree that theyd be superb.

The 2 gigs I saw a few months ago in Dublin were two of the best shows IVe ever seen. Masters of their art.

Not one for taking vids at gigs but it was just soooo good........couldnt resist taking a vid. From the posh seats too dont you know!

[Wooderson]

agree with you completely. that makes 2 agreements with your posts in a 5-min period (the other about some aspects of the forum 'going to the dogs this year')

[tevaburger]

I can't think of a single post of yours that ive disagreed with mate. Glad to see im not the only one who thinks that about the forum either. Seems the majority of my favourite posters just hang out in Discussions now. What we're left with here is a smattering of quality posters and a whole shower of complete twats.

If they clashed with U2 I'd be VERY torn. Would depend on my mood at the time but it would be a nightmare to have to choose in fairness.

[Wooderson]

but Wilco are so made for the Park Stage in the dark. it would be an incredible site. let's hope if happens first of all, and then that the 3rd headliner is a disappointing one and its on that night.

Knew very little about Wilco until Green Man last year - and it was awesome. Very tight band, lots of dynamics in the live, cracking musicians, depth to the sound.

I think the Park would be brilliant for them, I'd be there like a shot, website lists late May in Barcelona and mid September for EOTR. Have my doubts about them coming to England for just 1 gig, especially at Glasto rates...

Wilco are really excellent live. Saw them at the Latitude festival a couple of years ago in the sunshine and they were brilliant. The Wilco album is fantastic. I like Sky blue Sky which is fairly laid back.

Collectively they are brilliant musically and i wouldn't disagree that live they are one of the best bands in the world. Handshake drugs is an amazing song from their A ghost is Born album which is also great.

Anyone who likes really good music that takes a bit of time to get into then these guys are as good as anybody.

As you've pointed out, they're doing one in Barcelona (Primavera, with nothing else around it... yet), and then Dorset in September.

Have some how missed them completely.

After extensive reasearch over 5 minutes on youtube I am impressed!

They are headlining End of The Road in September. Not sure if its an exclusive.

EOTR is a great festival, give it a go

just got another Wilco email into my inbox...still no hint of playing a farm in late June. If anything, they're trying to throw us off the scent with UK shows only mentioned for September...

On other fronts and in other hemispheres, more Europe dates are up and on sale for May shows across Scandinavia and in Spain and Italy. We'll shortly announce another European tour for September which will include 5 shows in Germany, 5 in the UK and the band's first ever appearance in the Czech Republic. Watch the site for the announcement soon. Oh and lest we forget, Wilco will be touring Australia, New Zealand and Japan this spring as well. Those dates are on sale now.

[The Nal]

So no Euro tour in June then? Just the handful of dates already announced....
