‘Selected Events’ 2010 – San Diego date now added

by Shunt Staff on Aug.28, 2010, under latest news

Due to west coast demand, ‘A Strange Hour’ will be presented in San Diego at Anthology on Saturday 23rd October – details below.

This event will be a ‘late’ show in a really eclectic venue, normally seated (with dinner!). It is quite intimate with in-house projection screens and often reserved for top jazz acts. However, for Recoil’s event, a special late performance has been arranged where the seating will be removed and more space opened up so that we can turn the volume up and let our hair down. Doors are at 10pm and Architect & Conjure One will join us for this unique evening.

Date : 10.23.2010
City: San Diego
Venue : Anthology
Address: 1337 India Street San Diego, CA.
Phone: 619 595 0300
Tickets : On sale soon

‘Selected Events’ 2010 – NEW EURO DATES!

by Shunt Staff on Aug.27, 2010, under latest news

Good news! We have received so many requests that Alan has agreed to play a few more European shows to end the year with a bang. ‘A Strange Hour’ is coming back to Germany for two very special events. These presentations will take place in Berlin at Postbahnhof on Friday 26th November and in Dresden at Zeitenstroemung on Saturday 27th November – details below.

Says Alan: “We started the ‘Selected’ tour proper in Berlin back in March at Hansa studios. That was such a pleasure and we met so many appreciative fans that evening. Unfortunately for some, the show sold out very fast and many people missed out which is why I decided to come back and play these extra dates. I can also tell you that there will be some changes to the presentation compared to what we did on the first leg. I am working right now on musical additions, and we have set the film-makers to work again too.”

The exact line ups are still be finalised but we plan to announce one other special guest artist to join Recoil & Architect for the evenings. In Berlin, we also have an extra act – Northern Kind.

We hear that both are great venues and we hope to make it a real party atmosphere going on as late as curfews allow, with additional DJs and so on. Alan will also be available for a meet & greet signing session after the performances. To avoid disappointment, we advise people to buy tickets early for these shows!

Date : 26.11.2010
City: Berlin
Venue : Postbahnhof
Address: Strasse der Pariser Kommune 8

‘Selected Events’ 2010 – Dallas and Hamilton shows added!

by Shunt Staff on Aug.19, 2010, under latest news

More dates have been added into Recoil’s US tour. We couldn’t leave Texas out so ‘A Strange Hour’ will be presented in Dallas at Trees on Saturday 16th October. We hear that the ‘Trees’ venue is legendary and, following the great event in Austin last spring, Alan is very happy to be coming back to the Lone Star State. In fact, this will be the opening US event on the tour so come along and be the first to witness the new additions to Recoil’s presentation.

Architect will also be appearing and there will almost certainly be a special Recoil/DM party afterwards (Alan will attend) which your show ticket will allow you access to. So bring along your CDs and vinyl if you want to get those signed – more details on that very soon.

Due to ticket demands in Canada, Recoil will also be appearing in Hamilton, Ontario at This Ain’t Hollywood on 29th Oct. Architect & Conjure One will also be on the bill for this one. This venue is a bit more compact than the others and has an unusual set up. Alan & Paul plan an adapted presentation using multiple plasma screens.

RECOIL / GARY NUMAN DOUBLE BILL

by Shunt Staff on Jul.22, 2010, under latest news

‘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

by Shunt Staff on Jul.15, 2010, under latest news

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.

Now available – your very own Recoil iPhone App. And it’s free!

For the most portable way to keep in touch with all the latest news, including up to the minute updates to this new tour schedule, go to http://iphone.recoil.co.uk or search for ‘Recoil’ at iTunes App Store to download this multi media application dedicated purely to the project. Featuring bulletins, photos, video, audio links, feeds and more – it is intuitive, fun and something to show off to your mates…

The app is brand new and a version update will appear in the next few days. It also works well for iPad but, as yet, is not specifically designed for that device. The app was very kindly developed by Un.titled and we hope you will like it – let us know what you think. Any problems, questions or enquiries about the app should be addressed to: support@recoil.co.uk

‘A Strange Hour’ will be presented in the following cities in October and November:
