BELL X1 ANNOUNCE SEPTEMBER DATES WITH STARS
Bell X1 line up fall dates with Stars beginning 9/17 in Northampton, MA.
Continuing their full court press of the United States following the release of Flock (Yep Roc) earlier in the year, the lads from the emerald island are excited to announce their next national tour supporting Arts & Crafts recording artists Stars.
Birds of a feather, the two bands will unleash emotional sets across the eastern seaboard and into the Midwest for much of the month of September. Bell X1 jumps on board the tour following a litany of high-profile European summer festival slots highlighted by the sold-out-in-minutes Oxegen Fest in their home country of Ireland.
Be sure and listen out for the second single from Flock, ‘Eve, The Apple of My Eye’ on your favorite radio station this summer.

July 11, 2008Bell X1 Headline Oxegen Festival
From NME.com
Bell X1 debuted two new songs and covered The Flaming Lips during their headline show at the Oxegen Festival's Green Room Stage.
The band played new songs 'How Your Heart Is Wired' and 'The Great Defector' and ended their set with a cover of The Flaming Lips' 'Do You Realize?'.
The popular County Kildare band enjoyed something of a homecoming reception as they played their first Irish show of 2008.
After opener 'Bad Skin Day', frontman Paul Noonan told the crowd: "Thanks so much, we haven't seen you in ages. You're looking lovely."
The band then proceeded to play a set mostly taken from their last two albums, 2005's 'Flock' and 2003's 'Music In Mouth'.
Introducing the new songs, Noonan said: "We've been away a while and we've been milking these songs for a while so here's some new ones."
Introducing Irish hit single 'Flame', Noonan
said: "We played this song so good in the States, so sick, that our
tour bus went on fire. The song just caught on, like flames. So watch
out folks, this one is incendiary!"

Bebel Gilberto played a sold out show in support of Thievery Corporation at the Hollywood bowl last night. Variety had the following to say about her performance:
"Bebel Gilberto proved a charming antecedent to Thievery Corporation's
sonic bombast, as she coyly blended her breathy vocals with an
incredibly tight Brazilian fusion band. Standouts were a rhythmic rumba
called "Cacade" and a swooning, bossa nova take on Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams.""

June 23, 2008 Voicst's single Feel Like a Rocket has hit #4 on the national singles sales chart in The Netherlands this week. |
June 19, 2008Patrick Watson played a rare daytime gig at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles today. You can read more below from NME.
 Patrick Watson performed a rare lunchtime gig at the intimate Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles today for a star-studded audience that included Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello.
The Montreal-based singer and his three-piece
backing band pulled out all the stops, using noisemakers, feedback and
even a red balloon to create atmospheric soundscapes on their lush
songs.
At times Watson appeared to be in a trance,
shaking his head with his eyes closed while hunched over the piano, but
the next minute he was cracking jokes with the audience.
"Top of the morning to ya," he quipped after his first song. "I don't
think we've ever done a lunchtime gig before so this is exciting."
Watson explained that although he's based in Montreal,
he was born in California. "I was actually born here but I only lived
here for a year so I don't remember it but it sure is a beautiful
space," he said before launching into 'Weight Of The World'.
The band also debuted a new track called 'Tracy's Water', which they plan to include on their next album.
The largely industry crowd seemed transfixed by the 40-minute set, which concluded with Watson and his band playing their instruments acoustically in the audience.
Patrick Watson played:
'Drifters'
'Tracy's Water'
''Weight Of The World'
'Great Escape'
'Mr. Tom'
'Luscious Life'
'Man Under The Sea'
