Supergrass @ Webster Hall: Like Falling Masonary

Back in our college years, Jen & I saw an overly vapid performance from Supergrass at DC's beloved 9:30 Club. That evening came as a huge shock as it was my first experience with the band in a live setting and I was expecting nothing short of brilliance. It was also particularly upsetting since I was mildly obsessed with their self titled LP (released in 1999) and spun its singles regularly on my radio show. Thankfully, last night's set was a vast improvement from that disappointing soiree. Juggling tracks from their new release, Diamond Hoo Ha, with a series of older selections, Supergrass had the sold out crowd eating out of their respective palms. Particular highlights include 'Mary', 'Moving' & 'Diamond Hoo Ha Man', 'Lenny' & 'Caught By The Fuzz'. Photos & MP3 below.

Supergrass Drummer Expresses Love For Elliott Smith

Danny Goffey shares the following with Spinner: *"I really like Elliott Smith. He's one of the only artists who makes me cry. I'm a big girl, really. I read this book about Elliott Smith and he said a few weeks before he died, he came to see us play supporting Radiohead and said we were one of his favorite bands. That was really nice because we had been fans of his for a while."* Enjoy an MP3 at bottom of post.

Supergrass Bassist Falls Out Of Window

Oh my! Story via Uncut: *Supergrass bassist Mickey Quinn is in hospital following a horrific fall whilst sleepwalking, from a first floor window at a villa in France. The bassist and singer for the group has been treated at a specialist spinal unit in Toulouse for two broken vertebrae and a smashed heel. Frontman Gaz Coombes said, "We hope the crazy fool gets back on his feet as soon as possible. I’m sure he’ll make a full recovery; he’s a tough cookie". Supergrass had been taking a summer break after completing their sixth studio album, due for release in January.

Supergrass' show at the Oxford Carling Academy on September 23 has been cancelled as a result of Quinn's injury. The Oxford show will be rescheduled although no date has been set. Ticket holders can apply to the vendor for a refund and will be given first refusal on tickets for the re-scheduled show.* Get well soon, Mickey.

Damon, Franz & Thom Sign Bill To End Nuclear Budget

You can help as well! Details on the protest below the accompanying story.

Dozens of top British bands and musicians today joined forces to oppose the multi-billion pound replacement of the Trident nuclear weapons system. A statement was issued on their behalf, warning that ordering a new generation of nuclear weapons would make the world a more dangerous place. Signatories included Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Super Furry Animals and Supergrass. The statement said: "If Britain says it needs nuclear weapons for its security, other countries are likely to follow suit. To replace Trident, when we face no nuclear threat, could start a nuclear arms race.

"The cost to replace and maintain Trident would be better spent on healthcare, education, alleviating global poverty or tackling the problems of climate change. Let's choose peace and justice, not nuclear weapons and war." An anti-Trident demonstration will be held in London on Saturday organised by CND, the Stop The War Coalition and the British Muslim Initiative.The groups said the protest was expected to be the biggest anti-nuclear demonstration in Britain in decades. MPs are expected to vote next month on whether to order a Trident replacement. (via At Ease Web)

The demonstration is this Saturday, the 24th, more info can be found here.
