Jarvis cocker uk tour in june

[Rachie]

its great yeah, but not pulp. Im a massive pulp fan, saw them live 10 times. Jarvis is a true show man tho, so he'll have no problem pulling it off what ever he plays

[Guest blackcockerel]

A friend of the keyboard player in his backing band. I'm pretty sure its reliable info, I wouldn't post it otherwise. But (and I may be wrong) don't hold ouy hope for Pulp songs, I dont think he's played any live since going solo.

^^

Brilliant, really looking forward to it. Looks like that's another new band (Well not really new) to add to my "To listen to" list then before glasto.

Cheers,

Ah, Jarvis, he is not Jesus though he has the same initials.

Seriously, I don't think there are many people who can deny the fact that the man is a total legend, and I would love to see him do Glastonbury.

[Guest blackcockerel]

When I last saw him I was gutted he didn't play any Pulp tracks but he's still brilliant, and who knows, maybe the occasion might cause him to break out some oldies...

[incident]

Aww man your joking? Not even Common People?

[Johan cruyff]

I'd be more than happy with just J.C tracks, maybe with this cover thrown in ..

His new album is a going to be a rock album I think? If it's anything like Fat children I can't wait.

[Al the CAT]

Excellent news, love a bit of JC.

Added some tracks (including Fat Children) to the Spotify playlist. Just because

[Bort]

Jarvis Cocker and Blur at the same festival would be amazing. Especially since America gets screwed out of both acts yet again this year.

[random_man]

I saw him twice towards the end of November - the first time at shepherds bush empire - he did all his own solo work

the second time was at hamersmith appollo - he was only onstage for 2 songs, but he did do 'somethings changed'

[Bort]

If he's really playing the 27th, that will be perfect since Blur is apparently playing the 28th, yes? So no chance of conflict.

Really needs to do an American't tour when I return.

[daveinafield]

yes please jarvis rocks!!! a true spirit of glasto and my fave glasto quote in '95(after last song) "Glastonbury 25 yrs here's to 25 more alright ' well we are 14 years on now - his last album was very good - would be one of my very highest highlights i just know there will be clash hell im hoping sunday night

[radioshed]

Anyone heard the new album? I think it's pretty damn good, not a fan of the single 'Angela' though.

I think there is about 6/7 excellent songs on it, making it a very good album all round really.

'Leftovers' is my early favourite, i think.

[freeak]

Jarvis playing would make me and my girlfriends festival. Have seen him twice playing solo. He has not played any pulp tunes but is still ace!

I was so excited...then the no Pulp and now not so sure. Must go download some Jarvis on his own. Any reccomendations?

[suchacharmer]

Well his new album is pretty good in general.

The first solo isn't as good but has it's moments , the 'secret' song at the end, "Running the World" is lovely.

[Mardy]

I'm not so sure about this new album (and my copy hasn't got 'Running the World' on?), it's Albini produced, and much as I loved Big Black and enjoyed Shellac, I don't really understand the fascination that fey indie bands have for working with him. The results never seem that good, c.f The Wedding Present, The Auteurs and this one.

Luke Haines' book has a fantastic section about working with Albini, it's a briliant read.

I've only listened to this new Jarvis album a few times, but first impressions are no that good. I mean, it's better than a lot of stuff, but it's not great.

[godders1966]

Yes please. I would be there to see JC strutting his stuff.

[Bort]

Has any more info about him playing surfaced yet? Sure hope it's true.

[paolo1980]

Can see him at the Park stage for some reason. He would be a fine addition

[paolo1980]

Is that the same Running the World that was around with the last album too? I haven't had a chance to listen to the album yet, I've been too busy with the new Maximo Park, but I will have to check that out.

This sounds like the first album rather than his new one - which isn't out yet. The first single, Angela, is on iTunes though.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

i'm really enjoying his new album. sam him in november and he played a lot from it. angela is possibly the weakest track on it imo. no idea why it's the first single.

anyway, yeah, he'd be perfect at the park. i'm saddened he's not even a rumour though.
