I know this place has become a graveyard again now I focus all my time on the BNL fan newsletter instead but this new solo interview with Kevin is really amazing, so personal and in-depth about to a level even a mega fan of Kevin’s like me hadn’t heard before. There’s also a podcast version that’s 20 minutes instead of 6 I’ll be linking to in this month’s Barenaked News newsletter.
Anyway, it seems a good time to highlight something Kevin-related as he announced recently he has a new album coming in 2019: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRK4jagS93/
A great new interview with Kevin - Apparently he has two upcoming solo albums in the works: An instrumental one and a collection of superhero theme songs, of all things!
I went to see Steven Page last night. He had, uh, a little microphone problem during ‘Jane’ (It was his own fault; he wiggled it) but we were there to help him out.
(I recorded the whole concert so I’ll submit it to bnlhttp.com at some point.)
A proper behind-the-scenes look at the new ‘Lookin’ Up’ video! (3:40-8:10)
I think we can tell what it’s about now! Check out those desert-island instruments at 5:10. And there’s a blow-up sex doll hanging around too if you can spot it - A life raft maybe?
Oh, and a really cool bit about Jim’s charity work in Tanzania.
A new interview with Ed - Not that much of note but at the end he mentions the songs they’ve been rehearsing for this tour and how they’re going back to the older stuff, doing songs they’ve never done as a 4-piece or that he’s never sung lead on. Should make for some interesting shows!
A setlist from last night’s show - All three Fake Nudes songs we’ve heard are on it plus the currently-unreleased ‘Invisible Fence’ (It’s typed wrong as many BNL setlists are)
