Mini News Nuggets that didn't quite get their own news feature on Altsounds.com

Welcome to News Nugget. This is a weekly news ticker feature that showcases worthy news that didn't have enough text to make it's own individual news item.

SPIRITUALIZED to perform
‘Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space’
LIVE at Royal Festival Hall, on sale THURSDAY



Spiritualized
will perform their classic album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space live in its entirety at the Royal Festival Hall, London on Monday 12th October 2009.


Tickets cost £27.50 / £32.50 + bf and go on sale this Thursday 19th March from 10am.

They will be available via phone on 0871 663 2500 or online at www.southbankcentre.co.uk, www.seetickets.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

This very special show will feature a choir, string and horn sections and special guests. It is 12 years since the release of this album set the summer of 1997 on fire. Receiving massive critical acclaim, it was hailed as an instant classic, winning NME’s album of the year in 1997 (beating Radiohead’s OK Computer), and reaching No.4 in the UK charts.
To tie in with the live performance, Sony Music will be releasing an expanded Legacy Edition of “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space” in October with added content and new packaging.

Kid iD are riding the folk train through an urban jungle in today’s society, spitting lyrics, singing harmony’s, story telling of struggle’s and love in the way they only can.

British answer to Fleet Foxes? With beautiful vocal harmonies accompanied by a range of acoustic instruments, and performed with style by six talented multi-instrumentalists, they’re not far off. What makes them stand out is the way they effortlessly build their tracks into a carnival-style atmosphere; it’s the sound of six guys loving what they do!

Kid ID have just finished recording their masterful debut EP ‘Black Comedy’ with top Producer Paul Corkett [The Cure, Placebo, Radiohead]
Black Comedy is released on Monday 4th May 2009, through exciting new label Guerrilla Music [Bear Hands] which will coincide with a UK tour to promote the release, for full dates please go to the band’s MySpace site Kid iD on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Spring Break With Budos Band (Kinda)



If you live in New York or anywhere nearby, you know that Budos
Band, the afro-funk branch of the Daptone Records family, put on
a pretty damn good show.

Last week they played Manhattan's (Le) Poisson Rouge, and the
band will be sticking around its homebase for the next couple of
weeks (including a gig in Philly opening for um, Maceo Parker),
but in early April they're heading west for what is very literally,
their spring break (many of the Budos Band teach during the day).

Check out photos from the (Le) Poisson Rouge show here:
