Morrissey

Morrissey is an English singer and songwriter. He came to prominence as the frontman and lyricist of the rock band the Smiths, who were active from 1982 to 1987. Since then, he has pursued a successful solo career. Morrissey’s music is characterized by his baritone voice and distinctive lyrics with anti-establishment stances and recurring themes of emotional isolation, sexual longing, self-deprecation, and dark humor.

The King of Mope, Morrissey is back with World Peace Is None Of Your Business, coming out this late June/early July, worldwide release by Harvest Records through Capitol. Since Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, Queen has been without a regular lead singer. Various vocalists have temporarily joined on stage, including Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Zucchero, Robbie Williams, Kris Allen, and Jessie J, but nothing permanent.

The poster and ticket stub tells me that the show was booked by the Developing Arts & Music Foundation and listed as a 21+ show. I do have poor memory of the event, I remember that I touched Johnny Marr's arms and guitar (so I was front, as usual).

vusleeper December 12, 2012

Brody came on W♥M Radio to talk list some Winter shows. Incidentally, I don't go to shows in the Winter, so I'm not attending most of these shows (I don't even have their tour itinerary): The Maccabees, The Cribs, Kasabian, Phoenix (France), Palma Violets, Kooks, Peace, Xx, Kaiser Chiefs (lost a guitarist). The only show I'm attending is The Faint, which is happening tomorrow at First Avenue (December 13th).

Smith, Smith, Smith, Smiths

I'll admit that I was a massive Morrissey/the Smiths fan. I have all of his singles and albums pre-2010. A few years ago, Morrissey basically went crazy and declared war on Morrissey-solo and forbade the website owner from seeing him at live shows. I'm on David T's side on this one. Morrissey just doesn't understand how the internet works.
