LCD Soundsystem R.I.P. ?
News has surfaced that it might all be over for the hugely influential LCD Soundsystem.
Al Doyle, who plays guitar for US dance act LCD Soundsystem (and is also in Hot Chip) told BBC 6Music (reported in full here) that "I don't think James is going to do anything more under that name [LCD Soundsystem]. I think he'd like to do something with the same personnel possibly next year."
Doyle goes on to reveal "We were thinking of doing something where we find a lot of the old disco singers in New York that might still be around from the 70s, and get them in as guest vocalists with LCD as a backing band, and tour around as a disco heroes style show... It's just an idea that we had. God knows if we'll make it happen."
This news follows a special James Murphy disco night at new super-club matter but more significantly news (reported by NME) that Mister Murphy has started a new to-be-moniker'd "rock" band with Pat Maloney plus two of the guys from little known band Hockey Night.
Here's YouTube with 'All My Friends' as a quick reminder of how special LCD Soundsystem are/were:
I liked
Hockey Night
I was about to say "noooooooooooooo!"
But then I realised that anything James Murphy does will be awesome. So as long as he doesn't stop, there's no reason to panic
Still, the thought of no new LCD Soundsystem material does make me a little sad :(
If this means he's going to stop playing LCD material live
that is bad. If it doesn't then meh, was never that blown away by the name anyway
^Abso-facking-lutely...
I let out a big yelp at first, but then realised James Murphy is quite a talented chap.
It's okay. It's okay...
But I never got to see LCD S.S live
But i'm sure if he does stop recording under the LCD Soundsystem banner whatever he does make will be ace. And I still have the cd's to dance around like a loon to
^^^This
I'm sure James' output will continue to be brilliant, but LCD live was really something special - i count myself lucky I saw them 3 times over the years..... That Astoria show..
ah well
at least DFA isn't dead
I look forward to his new projects
Bugger
Really wish i'd seen LCD live now.
It's still LCD essentially
Same people, same vibe, just slightly different style.
apparently
Murphy has come out today and said he has already written the new LCD album in his head and is set to record it when he next feels like it... which sort of flys in the face of this report.
fucking
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hockey night
are / were absolutely brilliant. Their last album 'Keep Guessin' is probably the most underrated indie rock album since the turn of the century. Really looking forward to what this new band sounds like!
Um, DIS guys
