Back in 1994, Chaos Control interviewed former Cure member Laurence “Lol” Tolhurst about his latest project, Levinhurst. The group, which features Lol’s wife Cindy Levinson on vocals, had just released their debut album, “Perfect Life.” It was a superb collection of slightly dark, atmospheric electronic pop music and a logical extension to Lol’s work with The Cure. Levinhurst recently released their sophomore album, “Home By The Sea.”

From the official UNDERWORLD website:

Underworlds’ Rick Smith, Karl Hyde, Darren Price and crew were caught up in trouble reportedly caused by “anarchists” at the Ejekt Festival in Athens on Saturday night (16/06/07). Underworld were scheduled to close the festival that also included Madness and The Beastie Boys. It is reported that a group of around 30 masked individuals, armed with CS-gas, iron bars and baseball bats stormed the stadium at around 11.20pm as The Beastie Boys were performing. As cars were burned and property damaged, the stadium was evacuated. Underworlds’ Rick Smith was one of the injured. He was hospitalised for a time in Athens, but has now returned to the UK for further treatment. Several other people including security guards were seriously hurt.

Rasputina will be releasing a new album, “Oh Perilous World,” on June 26, 2007. I’ve heard some of the material performed live, and it’s AMAZING, so this is looking to be a great release! It also has an interesting concept behind it:

Deciding that current world events were more bizarre than anything from the distant past, Rasputina foundress Melora Creager culled words, phrases and whole stories from the Internet that especially intrigued her to create the lyrical inspiration for this album.

“Oh Perilous World” will be available in CD or LP format, and pre-orders are currently being taken over the official Rasputina website.
