NEW SINGLE
Nijinsky Heart, along with Soho So Long, from the forthcoming album, Variete, has been released as a download single and is available from Amazon, iTunes and many online download stores. Variete may now also be pre-ordered via iTunes.
WILTON'S MUSIC HALL
Marc Almond has been made a patron of Wilton's Music Hall. He is likely to make a one off concert there later in the year. It will not be announced until about a fortnight before due to contractual reasons with various other concerts and promoters throughout the year.
NEW TOUR DATE
A further date has been added to the forthcoming 30 Year Celebration tour:
The Assembly in Leamington Spa on 5 December.
Tickets will be available from the box office on 01926 523001 or online from www.leamingtonassembly.com
TOUR
Marc Almond's tour at the end of this year is likely to be his last British concerts for some time. He wants to spend next year working on other projects such as Ten Plagues, and live and recording work is likely to take a back seat.
FEASTING WITH PANTHERS
The Feasting With Panthers album is reaching completion but there is no release date at present, though it is likely to be mid 2011. It will be the last album in this phase of Marc Almond's recording career and will be a lower key release, not accompanied by concerts or promotion. Marc Almond may record a live filmed show with no audience for the website to accompany it.
STRANGER THINGS
Stranger Things is to be the next re-issue. As with the Open All Night re-issue, the artwork will remain the same, as is Marc Almond's wish. He wants to keep these re-issues in the classic, definitive artwork, but it will include an extra disc of bonus tracks.
VARIETE MICROSITE
The microsite for the new album, Variete, is launched today and can be accessed from the intro and News pages on the website, we hope you like it. Over the next month we'll be adding some more videos, reviews and photos relevant to the album, including a home made video for Lavender, more lo-fi live videos, extra promo photos and coverage from Marc Almond's live set and signing session at HMV Oxford Street on Monday and the Mojo party and album showcase at the Jazz Cafe on Wednesday. Variete is released on Monday in a limited deluxe edition featuring an extra disc of unreleased songs recorded in a special acoustic studio session.
