Those are not the correct dates, they are playing in Milan on 20 and 21 april, not 19 and 20. So the day off is actually the 19 and since they got into the habit of taking their Mondays off while touring I’m pretty sure it will stay that way.
Italian dates!
18 aprile 2027 – Torino, Hiroshima Mon Amour
20 e 21 aprile 2027 – Milano, Legend Club
22 aprile 2027 – Roncade (TV), New Age ClubVery surprised, Legend Club is a much smaller venue than Trezzo Live Club where they usually play near Milan, even smaller than Santeria, which was packed when they played there. But this also means the easiest double date ever (possibly triple with Turin) so yeah, pretty happy about this!
Great to see they’re back to turning setlists around each night, if I’m not mistaken only Gaia is repeated from the other night. This is exactly what I hoped for with the new drummer. Hope they keep this up for the next “proper” tour.
Well, that is clearly not the answer I wished for, but thanks a lot for letting us know, Bernie. Maybe they need to recharge their batteries after the extensive touring of the last few years, which would be totally understandable.
Anyone knows about plans for an autumn tour? There have been a handful of German dates for September up on the official site for a while, but nothing after that. Surely that can’t be it, right?
I feel that this 2-night format gives them the chance to explore a bit more of the back catalog while still focusing on the latest releases, and also perhaps rest a bit more between performances. I’d love it if they could devise something like a “residency tour” in the future.
First listen, feels a bit like a B-side collection after the organic majesty of last year’s s/t, but it’s a fun set nonetheless. These tunes have definite live potential.
Shocked and saddened by this news. I never knew him personally but like many of you here I am indebted to his amazing work recording, polishing and uploading MP gems. Rest in peace.
I finally got around to listening the remastered CotF CD (received it a couple of days ago) and just wanted to say WOW what an amazing work they did with it! Almost like listening to a new album.
I always thought the hommage was to the song Jessica, from the “Brothers and Sisters” album, and the title was just referencing a different song of the band as a further “clue”. I don’t know the live version, though. Will check it out.
Being not an Olaf fan by any means, I was impressed by his creative and tasteful playing especially on August and Superstooge (there were some other good moments). For the first time I saw him really fit in the band and understood why they chose him. Though I still wonder why he plays most of the new(ish) stuff in such a straightforward style (see Lucifer).
Bent and Snah seemed in really fine form, much more so than when I saw them in Trezzo earlier this year. Makes you think about how big of a toll the extensive touring must take on their energy.It’s a really good record, not only a collection of pretty songs but also a really solid album in the way it flows together near perfectly (the exception being Go to California, which is a fun song in itself but to me feels a bit “off” in the context of the album, it doesn’t seem to share the same mood). It’s by far my favorite of the pop trilogy, and the only one I’ll listen to gladly without skips. Actually, if I were to compile a “best of” from LTCE and Love Cult, Phanerothyme would still be better. Those other two records have their moments (The Other Fool, Stained Glass, Serpentine) but they also have pretty significant lows.
I’d love to hear more from Phanerothyme live. I’ll never dislike Go to California but it’s sad that in 14 concerts that’s the only song from the record that I got to hear, and I’m still bummed that I missed For Free this year.Wow! I was wondering how this one could be so long given the setlist, that could be (part of) the answer. Hoping for a recording to surface!
