EXCLUSIVE – SPECIAL GUEST!

We are very excited to bring you news of an exclusive one show-only guest DJ appearance at Recoil’s event at Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, CA on 24th October. A certain Mr Martin L. Gore will be appearing to DJ at an aftershow DM/Recoil party.

Martin has graciously agreed to appear just for this event to spin a collection of his favourite tracks. Many will be aware that Martin likes to DJ occasionally and reveal his enthusiasm for electronica.

DJ Daniel Barassi will be hosting the party as well as DJ-ing himself and there will be a meet & greet session too – so please join us for this special celebration and don’t forget to bring your treasured items to be signed!

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.

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!

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, Chilians, 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.
