Supergrass, Foo Fighters, Tour Dates, Webster Hall, NJ, etc

SupergrassSupergrass are playing Webster Hall in July. Tickets are on sale. They're also opening for the Foo Fighters in NJ one day earlier, and have a new album coming out. All Foo/Supergrass dates and more info below....

SUPERGRASS is back. A ....new album entitled Diamond Hoo Ha, a brand new home on Astralwerks, an extensive summer tour with Foo Fighters and a sixth studio album showcasing the youthful energy and witty musical stylings of these Britpop pioneers.

After a dozen years, Supergrass (Gaz Coombes-Vocals & Guitar, Mick Quinn-Bass & Vocals, Danny Goffey-Drums & Vocals, Rob Coombes-Keyboard) have rolled back home, and rolled back the years, while marching firmly into the future. "We wanted a record where you got all of Supergrass," says frontman Gaz. "The joy, the intensity, the darkness, the melodies. All of those have always been important to us and still are." Hence Diamond Hoo Ha (release date: June 10th, 2008); an energetic album bristling with hooks to hang your coat off and melodies to lose your shoes to.
Recorded at Hansa Studios in Berlin and produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave, PiL, Gang Of Four), Diamond Hoo Ha is the band at their exuberant best. What other British band is still able, with seemingly effortless ease to conjure up songs and videos that crackle with breezy enthusiasm, humor and inventiveness?

Their new album is fantastic. Certainly a return to form after their last one. I'm glad to see they're playing their own show on this tour. Thanks for the heads up.

Supergrass has made some wonderful records, but they are one of the most boring live bands on the planet. And I really like the band.

Supergrass' new album blows.

And yes, they're VERY boring live.

But I still can't get that fucking song from "Clueless" outta my head....
