NewsThe Bravery discuss new albumThe Bravery's sophomore album, 'The Sun And The Moon', hits US shelves today (May 22). The New York quintet have been previewing the new material on their current North American tour, and frontman Sam Endicott told NME.COM he was worried about how audiences would respond. "I was a little scared at first because if you don't recognize the songs you're not gonna jump up and down, so I didn't know how people would react," he admitted. "But the reaction's been really good. I think people get into it because every song is different from every other." In addition to touring the US this spring and Europe this summer, Endicott said the band will be working on dance remixes and acoustic versions of songs from 'The Sun And The Moon'. "We did an acoustic version and a dance remix version of the first single 'Time Won't Let Me Go', and I'm trying to do that for all of the songs," Endicott said. "It's cool to see the different directions you can go with them. Plus a song like 'Time' -- it's so not a disco song that it's really fun to make a disco song out of it. Whereas doing an acoustic version of 'An Honest Mistake' was lots of fun because it's so different." Endicott said that the band plan to post the remixes and acoustic versions online or turn them into 7-inch singles. The Bravery are currently in Los Angeles, where they're performing on the Jimmy Kimmel show tomorrow night (May 23) and Last Call With Carson Daily on Thursday (May 24). The band will also give a live performance on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, which airs tomorrow (May 23) on KCRW.com. Endicott admitted that after their last tour, he thought he'd never want to hit the road again. "For the last album we did 18 straight months of touring and by the end I was like, 'Fuck this. I never want to do this again,'" he said. "But now we've been off the road for eight months and I was bored out of my mind so I'm glad to be back on tour." He added: "It's more fun for us now because the new songs are harder to play and a lot more challenging. And now that the album is coming out, it'll be fun to play it for people who actually know the songs." Hear Beach Boy Brian Wilson's new material now You can hear one of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson's eagerly awaited new songs now on NME.COM. As previously reported, the star will premiere a brand new song cycle on his UK tour later this month. The star will perform 'That Lucky Old Sun (a narrative)' in its' entirety for the first time on the tour, which kicks off with a six-night stint at London's Royal Festival Hall. Wilson says the piece "will consist of five 'rounds' with interspersed spoken word". It is based on the classic 1949 song 'That Lucky Old Sun', and though the new song suite will contain elements of the tune, there will also be newly composed songs too, one of which is called 'Midnight's Another Day'. And you can hear that song here now. The work was put together with Wilson's old collaborator Van Dyke Parks, who wrote the lyrics for the seminal 'Smile' album. Wilson said: "I'm so excited to get back to the Royal Festival Hall and for all of my UK fans to hear my new composition 'That Lucky Old Sun (a narrative)'. I honestly can't think of a better place in the world to premiere it." The set will also feature many back catalogue classics which Wilson has never performed live before, and a cover of a track from The Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band', thought to be 'She's Leaving Home', marking the 40th anniversary of the album's release. The dates are as follows: London Royal Festival Hall (September 10 , 11, 12, 14, 15, 16) Bristol Colston Hall (18) Bournemouth Opera House (20) Edinburgh Festival Theatre (22) Manchester Palace Theatre (23) Birmingham Symphony Hall (24) |
