Do you guys think New Order will ever play in Chicago again?

6 Jan 2005, 17:03

My guess would be NO...but you can never tell with the Order...we might just get lucky enough for them to do 10 cities like they did in 93...

Watch them book some inane places like Fresno, Omaha, Hartford and Tulsa.

Dunno whether this has been mentioned before, but apparently Lee Coombs has produced one of the tracks off the new album, according to this link here:

"Lee Coombs. Lee Coombs has been busy in the studio remixing for the likes of Paul Oakenfold and producing a new track by New Order, if anyone has listened to his mixes of ‘Crystal’ you’ll know what to expect. On top of that and a hectic Djing schedule he has also recently found time to complete a couple of collaborations with Meat Katie. Namely ‘Two Men On AS Trip’ on Finger Lickin and ‘HUM’ on Kingsize."

Oh, and one of the other acts on Finger Lickin' are called "Krafty Kuts"... Hmmm... :-p

l8rs,

Nick ;)

I like Phil alot more than Gillian, but I think thats mostly because the first time I saw Phil live was on the 5 11 dvd. First time with Gillian was on 3 16 where she messed up ceremony a tad, and I love the look Barney givers her, priceless. But i still died a little.

There you may have another reason she doesnt want to be in the band anymore - the number of times Barney has been nasty to her she probably is like fuck you!.Another example was an old gig Vienna 84 when Barney sarcastically said to her on stage "dont break ya fuckin back Gillian" .Bang out of order!

It's never been their happiest of hunting grounds. Three gigs scheduled there over the years (one of which got shifted to Hoffman Estates instead, 1987). The Metro 1983 show was a disaster apparently because the gear broke down, and the Bismarck 1985 show is just about an average one. Chances are that they wouldn't be automatically thinking of Chicago as one of their preferred locations. Depends on what scale the tour is really.

Agreed. At least there was a touch of irony to that title.

Sorry, been reading this Michael Connelly book about this maverick cop called Harry Bosch, who nicks his boss Harvey "98" Pounds's badge after he gets suspended.....

congrats to the order for getting an album done so quickly

7 Jan 2005, 21:59

Have any of you FACTORY buffs noticed the release day of the radio single? 24 January (as in the movement of the 24th January)

7 Jan 2005, 23:58

Bugger the album, get out there and play some gigs

8 Jan 2005, 08:40

I just knew that was coming. :laugh:

we shouldn't be complaining about the title 'krafty' from a band that brought us a song called 'rock the shack.' ;)

Sorry, it just reminds me of the Beastie Boys, and I can just picture New Order reinventing themselves as some sort of bad techno-ish shite with Barney rapping over the top....no wait, that was Republic. :nonono:

Because Rob G kept N.O. on the straight and narrow....with the death of Rob...things and a guiding hand that N.O. a semi-known pleasure is starting to spin out of control with the Big Guys (Time-Warner/Qwest/London/Whatever) in control, I am afraid they will be marketed without any thought of what their history was and is.... :ohwell:

For those not familiar with Greek ledgends, or Homers epos. The Sirens (females) called unwary seafares to their death, with their call. Sailers couldn't resist their call and crashed their boats on the Siren's island. The only one to ever hear their call and survive was Odysius (on his way back home from Troy). He had his crew cover their ears so they couldn't hear and himself bound to the mast of his ship.

Hope this helps. Probably not. Barney likes to sail his boat doesn't he.

10 Jan 2005, 21:20

These days however Siren Call just means that men are lead to their doom by evil/bad women. Waiting for such a call probably just means that the Order haven't given up being rock n roll rebels. That's if I'm not reading too much into this.

10 Jan 2005, 22:34

I like Atlantic better as a title. Be nice to hear something new from them, though.

I'm not sure that Rob kept them on the straight and narrow. He kept them on the contrary, but I wouldn't exactly call things like the Hacienda or Dry Bar the straight and narrow!

There's news on NME.com, but looks like they've lifted it straight off this site. However it does promise more info in the new NME (out in London area today and everywhere else UK tomorrow). Anyone in London who can take a look today? :beer:

11 Jan 2005, 04:47

I'll get one on the way home and post it up here later on.

From NME

NEW ORDER have unveiled further details of their forthcoming studio album.

The LP, ‘Waiting For The Sirens Call’, is set to be released on March 28 via Warner Music and will be preceded by a new single 'Krafty' two weeks before.

Other song titles slated to feature on the album, which signals a return to the band’s dance period in the late 1980s, include ‘Jetstream’ and ‘Sugarcane’.

The LP, which was recorded in Bath, has been co-produced by veterans Stephen Street and John Leckie.

Guitarist Phil Cunningham has also replaced keyboardist Gillian Gilbert as a full time member of the Manchester band.

Cunningham, who previously performed with New Order singer Bernard Sumner in Electronic, filled in for Gilbert during the group’s last tour in 2001/2002.

At the time the former keyboardist was forced to pull out so that she could care for her ill daughter.

For the full exclusive low-down on New Order’s new album. check this week’s NME, out today (January 11).

Who cares about the length of the album name???!!! Its New Order for cryin' out loud!!!! I like it. If its 'supposed' to be like Technique, with dance grooves and electronic disco(that is what I have heard), then 'Waiting For the Sirens Call' is a perfect name. You Brits are so uptight. I'm just waiting for them to hit the states(which won't happen) but maybe since I am in NYC, they'll play here. I think I may be one of two Americans on this website.
Question: Did anyone catch the fact that 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is up for a Brit Award?? I'm sure you all know this but why is it in a category with Robbie Williams' 'Angels'? That is an insult. -Ned

11 Jan 2005, 06:47

Worried about an awards ceremony voted for by a bunch of ignorant apes?? You Americans are so uptight! :p

Fook me this must be a spoof. Coming on here, insulting the hardcore and calling the shots! The real insult (besides your being able to breathe) is that some Will Young B-side is deemed worthy of inclusion in a poll with LWTUA. The Brits is about as meaningful as a refried beans-induced fart.

11 Jan 2005, 07:00

Your funny. I didn't mean it as an insult, but more of a joke. Sorry to offend. I am really insulted that LWTUA is in the same category as all of those songs. Will Young?? Also, you really think that I'm breathing is a bad thing??? Thanks. I was just stating my opinion. :(
