Andy Bell - 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again'
Andy Bell releases a new single via Sanctuary Records on 22nd May
2006.
'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' is taken from the Erasure frontman's
debut solo album 'Electric Blue', which was released in October
2005.
The single comes with a variety of new mixes from Goetz (Sugababes,
Faithless), plus Jaded Alliance & Mr Do. 'Electric Blue', an album
highlight, as well as the title track, has also been completely
recrafted by MHC, who turn in a darker club mix destined for the
world's electro dancefloors in coming months.
The package is completed with two brand new bonus tracks 'Back Into
The Old Routine' and 'Jump'. Exact formats to be confirmed shortly.
Andy Bell has spent the last few months promoting 'Electric Blue'
across Europe & America, and also played his first live gigs in
Russia, including two sold-out shows in Moscow & St Petersburg.
'Electric Blue' is currently enjoying considerable success in the
US, where the album reached #1 in the i-Tunes Dance Chart. The first
single from the album 'Crazy' also spent over four months in the
Billboard Dance Chart, peaking at #3.
The 'Electric Blue' album was co-produced and written with Philip
Larsen & Chris Smith, aka Manhattan Clique, who have recently worked
with Goldfrapp, Moby, Fischerspooner, The B-52's and Stereophonics.
"Oozes glamour, destined for every pop-dance lover's collection"
(The Sun)
"A collection of lyric-heavy dance synthpop that overachieves and
succeeds in its mingling of emotion and sexuality. It's time to
trade in the lime green tutu for some electric blue body paint and
let the show begin!" (popmatters.com)

Erasure Acoustic Tour - Sold Out Shows
If you are trying to purchase tickets for one of the forthcoming
Erasure Acoustic shows and the venue has sold out, I *strongly*
advise you to:
* Contact the venue directly - they often have returned ticket lists
* Check the venue's website for their own online ticket purchasing
facility, for example the Boulder Theater has tickets available
here:
web:
http://bouldertheater.frontgatesolutions.com/choose...
* Ticket adverts are frequently placed within the 'For Sale /
Wanted' section of the Erasure Forum.
forum :
http://www.erasureforum.com/viewforum.php?f=2
For example there is currently an advert within the forum selling
two tickets for the New York show (at face value + Ticketmaster's
fees), and there are others, so it's certainly worth keeping an eye
on.

- "Potential Nashville Show Travel Package":
Hi
¨
Potential US Fan Nashville Show Travel Package
Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets for the US Erasure
Acoustic show dates, the tour promoters are investigating the
possibility of offering US Erasure fans a package deal to see the
Nashville performance.
The Nashville show kicks off the North American leg of the tour, and
those attending will be amongst the first to see Erasure's first
ever full band acoustic performance in the US!
The Ryman Auditorium was home to The Grand Ole Opry for 30 years,
and artists as diverse as Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank
Williams to Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks have played there.
This package deal will comprise of travel (say bus or plane) from
Chicago, Atlanta, NYC etc, plus hotel and an extra (maybe a meet &
greet with the band) for a set price (exact price to be determined,
but it will certainly be a reasonable one.)
Now for this idea to work, it is critical that an accurate picture
can be built up of the level of demand for this, plus the locations
of where people would potentially be travelling from.
Therefore please post on the forum in *this thread only*:
http://www.erasureforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8539
if you are interested in this idea, and where you are located /
would travel from. This information will be passed onto the
promoters, so that they can determine the levels of demand at
different geographical locations, and gauge the feasibility of this
idea.
Please do this as quickly as possible, and do not email me - it is
far more effective if all feedback can be concentrated in the one
place.
For further information on the Ryman Auditorium, please see:

Erasure Acoustic: UK
Support Act (EIS News)
News from
EIS website.
The support act for the UK part of
the Erasure Acoustic tour will be Ciaran McFeely (aka 'Simple Kid').
Simple
Kid is an Irish born solo musical artist known for his trancey/synth
sound. His style of remixing and sampling has been compared to
Fatboy Slim, although Simple Kid uses his own recordings as sources.
Simple Kid's sound is difficult to place, but could be best
described as folk trance-pop with an edge.
Although having spent considerable time in America before becoming
Simple Kid, his popularity today is mostly limited to the United
Kingdom. He has most recently supported Richard Ashcroft during his
current solo tour (early 2006). Previously, Simple Kid has toured
with such acts as Travis, The Thrills, Ocean Colour Scene and Suede.

he'd been living with HIV since 1998, there was surprisingly little
moralising from the tabloids and almost universal support from

"We
just got to do a remix for Andy Bell of Erasure fame. The track is
called "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" and is taken from his album
Electric Blue.
More news on release date when we have it.
As is quickly becoming the Jaded
Alliance style, we've severely roughed things up on it, and it
should rock some dancefloors!"
So, this is another confirmation that
"I'll Never Fall In Love Again" might be the second single released
from "Electric Blue". The audio clip of Jaded Alliance remix
available
here.
