RECOIL / GARY NUMAN DOUBLE BILL « Shunt – The Official Recoil / Alan Wilder Blog

‘Selected Events’ 2010 – Chicago

Following Recoil’s recent US leg tour announcement, we are excited to add another special date – this time at The Metro in Chicago on 26th October. ‘A Strange Hour’ will be presented at a unique event – a double bill featuring both Recoil and Gary Numan! Gary and his band will be performing his classic ‘The Pleasure Principle’ album in full. Architect are also on the bill for this show.

With layers of analogue synthesizers and futuristic, dystopian lyrics, The Pleasure Principle’s 10 songs are given one-word titles; not least the massive hit single ‘Cars’, arguably the first British electro song to dent the US charts. ‘The Pleasure Principle’ is Gary Numan’s most commercially successful album and is a striking turnaround from the guitar-powered, Joy Division-like post punk of his original band Tubeway Army. Aside from bass, percussion and some strings, every instrument is electronic. For more information on the Gary Numan Pleasure Principle 2010 Tour please visit www.numan.co.uk
Tickets are available from the following outlet (www.etix.com) and are already on sale. We strongly urge that you get yours soon as we expect they will be snapped up fast!

‘Selected Events’ 2010 – new dates in USA, Canada and South America « Shunt – The Official Recoil / Alan Wilder Blog

After the hugely enjoyable and successful jaunt around Europe, we are delighted to be able to confirm the first series of dates for the next leg of Recoil’s ‘Selected Events’ tour 2010. One or two more cities in South America are still to be added, and more North American/Canadian dates will follow shortly too.

Recoil recently played a show in Mexico City and if the response there is anything to go by, this upcoming leg of the tour is going to be a something special. Says Alan “The Mexicans didn’t disappoint, and I’ve been receiving innumerable requests from Argentinians, Chileans, Peruvians, Brazilians and many others in that part of the world for years now, pleading for a visit. I’m really flattered to be asked of course, and looking forward to it finally happening – I know we will have an incredible time in South America. Paul Kendall and I are planning a few changes to the live set with some new films as well.”

In North America and Canada, Recoil with be joined by Daniel Myer’s Architect as well as Conjure One for some dates – more details on guests to follow. We are also working on a special double bill in Chicago which should be announced very soon.
