THE WILDHEARTS Frontman To Perform In New York City

THE WILDHEARTS frontman Ginger has issued the following update:

"I'm playing New York. Yeah, that's right....AGAIN!!! Only this time it's again... and again, and again and...y'know, again. Every Thursday, beginning April 3rd, I'll be appearing at Piano's with the best players in New York. Only the creme de la soul will be playing, with myself, YOUR favourite songs from my huge stash of choons. Okay, okay, I get to decide exactly which songs are your favourite songs, but that's besides the point. I'll be playing crazed up versions of my (er, your) absolute toppest tracks from my catalogue with various musicians, using various styles, with various instruments, from people with various hair-cuts. Most likely different people every week. Depending on who's the best people for the job that week. Every week. EVERY GODDAMNED WEEK.....I tells ya. On a Thursday. Not only that, but I'll be presenting the absolute weirdest, most unique, odd-ball, bizarre and generally artistically essential of NYC talents on the bill. A different line up of talents every week. On a Thursday. From April 3rd. Each bill will be rounded off with a colourful barrage of low-brow hi-jinx from New York's top comperes, MC's and orators, keeping the proceedings lively, sparky and warm. An evening like this could only happen in New York. And only on a Thursday. And only at Piano's. Come with me on a journey of sonic and visual experimentation, where all tension will be jettisoned out on the sidewalk, and the remaining effervescence will permeate every pore and fibre of your fine persons, leaving you bathed in wonder, showered in amusement and douched with amazement. Entertained? You will be. Or your money back. And we're not planning on parting with a penny. Oh yes. Oh, good God yes. Be there, or be elsewhere. And why would you be elsewhere? That's right, you wouldn't. Oh, no. Oh, yes. Amen."

Ginger released his new solo album, "Market Harbour", in late January/early February. The CD contains 21 songs/segues and has a running time of sixty minutes and twenty four seconds. With no break in the music throughout the album, and packed with a weird and wonderful array of samples and loops in addition to instrumentation, the record is a showcase for the diverse talent of Ginger.

From the classic Ginger-esque opener and first single "Casino Bay" (a mid tempo stormer awash with hooks) to country-and-western meets-"Hats Off To Roy Harper"-esque skiffle instrumental "The Ninns Of Mourning", from the Roger Waters-infused "House Of Moths" to the punked-up three-minute blast of "Overeasy", from the Burt Bacharach lilt of 67-second instrumental "Tenants" to the beautiful soaring instrumentation and melodies of "I Knew You (An Amensis)", from the do-wop pop of Couple Trouble" to the rolling toms of instrumental "Eye Of The Rotunda" and the slow-build epic album closer "Shatterproof" with its haunting refrain of "How Can You Kill Something / That Will Not Die," "Market Harbour" is a wildly ambitious album that only someone of Ginger's creative talents could pull off as successfully as he does.
