[置顶] The Black Ships may tour with a young band called Plastic Youth
2012-5-3 0:28:44 阅读19 评论0 32012/05 May3
A SOUTHEND band has been working hard and will be releasing a limited edition vinyl single.
Plastic Youth will be releasing the double A-side single called Death Row and Animal Style this Saturday.
The group of four have been recording their singles with the Verve’s Nick McCabe heading up the production of them.
The tracks will be released on ex-Libertines drummer Gary Powell’s record label ‘25 Hour Convenience Store’.
The four musicians came up with their name after a conversation about how youngsters aren’t experiencing life and sitting at computers to socialise with friends.
Bassist and singer James Higgs, 25, said working with Nick McCabe had been a great experience.

Richard: I make my music… it’s a selfish act. I write songs for myself, to entertain myself and to… you know, to turn me on, turn my wife on… turn the few people who are around me at the time on, really. It’s just a private thing.
But music to me is… it’s got to be the soundtrack to life, you know what I mean? Marvin Gaye’s got to be there with Sexual Healing, and Kurt Cobain’s got to be there with All Apologies. All these songs… sitting on the dock of a bay, it doesn’t matter what… emotion it’s touching on, it’s just got to be right, it’s got to… you know…

Richard: The band was formed about two and a half years ago. And we just wrote around in garages and lounges like people do. On the Dole, surviving on the Dole for a year. And then we got signed up about 18 months ago. So it was just… the band was built on having so much free time and being in such a… sort of… empty environment, really, you know? We just wanted… had…to do something or you’d just go… your mind goes numb.

The Verve's 3rd LP remains one of the top 20 best selling British albums of all time and walked away with the Brit for Best Album and a nomination for the Mercury Prize. It also spawned the mammoth singles, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Sonnet, The Drugs Don't Work and Lucky Man.

Richard Ashcroft的神韵人生

原文来自于UKMUSICHOUSE
Richard Ashcroft 和 The Verve 神韵乐队是近15年来最具影响力的英国摇滚乐团与主唱。没有 Richard Ashcroft (就意味着) 也不会有 Oasis 绿洲乐队，NME杂志评选的最伟大的词曲创作演唱人，Richard Ashcroft 的上榜再次向世人宣示他是英国摇滚乐坛的超级巨星。
多年前有人曾这样写过：如果人的生活中总需要一种歌声获得慰藉，那么，Richard Ashcroft这位前The Verve乐团主唱会是我的首选。
由鼓手Peter Salisbur、贝斯手Simon Jones、吉他手Nick McCabe和主唱Richard Ashcroft，于1989年出道成军于英伦曼城Wigan的The Verve，是上个世纪末，英国堪称最伟大的摇滚乐队之一。
The Verve在90年代，和当时的Oasis、Blur、Pulp、Suede…等乐团平起平坐，可说是Brit-pop潮流的先驱，对摇滚乐界影响盛巨的头号乐团，是每个摇滚乐迷音乐搜藏的必备名单。
The Verve充满迷幻色彩的Space rock，总是轻易地带领所有听者，进入至另一个想像空间、迈向另一个次元，而他们更擅长编织出回旋萦绕的旋律，将歌曲书写成一首首发人深省的摇滚诗篇。
而他们的歌曲，更受到许多杰出艺人的喜爱，像是Limp Bizkit、Moby都在他们自己的作品中，将The Verve的经典之作重新把玩再制，而Ben Harper、Madonna、Kanye

"How I got to go on an American tour with the Verve was an unlikely combination of circumstances.
Following the falling out of Richard Ashcroft and Verve guitarist Nick McCabe, I got a call from Richard asking me to join the band for their upcoming American tour. I was flattered but confused. Why me? There must be dozens of great rock guitarists who could do the job. Picking a Pedal Steel guitarist with psychedelic pretensions was, to put it mildly, lateral thinking.
It turned out that Richard's wife, Kate Radley loved the work I had done on the Spiritualized album 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space'. Her former partner Jason Pierce, being the leader of that group.

GARY SPEED R.I.P
"Just to give some more detail I was asked to play in John Hartson's match in aid of his cancer charity.I was an OK player about twenty five years ago,never in a million years good enough to play professionally.It's a great buzz to play alongside some of the greats.After about ten minutes I received a proper verbal rant from someone,Gary Speed came up to me and within a second he put me at ease & gave me some choice words that i could use if it happened again.I left straight after the game but for weeks later I was reflecting on how classy and perceptive Gary had been.It was a charity match and I was a forty year old musician,what the fuck do they expect.It took him

Cut from Rolling Stone Magazine, April 1998 issue
How Richard Ashcroft and The Verve turned eight hard drug-soaked years of battles and breakdowns into rock & roll salvation.
Even if he wasn't the singer, lyricist and unmistakable face of the Number One rock band in England, Richard Ashcroft would still be the kind of guy who could turn heads, melt hearts, freeze rush-hour traffic and stop conversation in a vacuum-packed pub without lifting an eyebrow.
His features are an arresting collision of the classic rock-star archetypes and the dark, consumptive sensuality of the poet-barfly; the gaunt magnetism of the wasted warrior; the cocky, insouciant charm of a jumpin' jack
