Here's the scoop...

Paul Weller today announces his first tour of North America since 2017. The dates begin with a September 6th show in Red Bank, NJ, a Toronto stop at History on September 13th and end September 27 in downtown Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theatre.

Weller is touring in support of his upcoming album 66 which is due out on May 24, the day before his 66th birthday. The album is quite reflective and inward thinking. 66 is his 17th solo, and 28th album overall in a career that includes stints leading The Jam and The Style Council. The album was recorded primarily in his own Black Barn Studio.

66 includes contributions from Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Madness’ Suggs McPherson, Richard Hawley, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr Robert, Le SuperHomard’s Christophe Vaillant, and Erland Cooper, with string arrangements by Hannah Peel. The first single from 66, “Soul Wandering,” was co-written with Gillespie. Check out "Soul Wandering" after the first two parts of the "Making of 66" series. 

Jane Weaver releases expanded digital version of Flock album

The Deluxe Digital Version of Jane Weaver's Flock album comes with two club-ready reworks of her rollerskating jam "Solarised." 

Here's the scoop...

A brand-new digital deluxe edition of Jane Weaver’s album Flock was just issued by Fire Records. Complete with unreleased extras and remixes from the Flock studio sessions, this new release shines another light on one of last year's most celebrated albums. Get it right here. Check out the extended rework of "Solarised" following the tracklist below.

“A psych-pop album with a difference, influenced by years of listening to under-the-radar records and music from all over the world - Lebanon, Russia and Australia (and Prince). Of course, the cosmic prog elements she has become known for are there too.” Norman Records

Jane Weaver will also be touring Flock in the US with her band for the first time in just a few months. They'll be joined by The Chills, Unwed Sailor and Air Waves on select dates. Unfortunately, Jane Weaver won't be with The Chills for their triumphant return to Toronto at The Horseshoe on October 18th.
