A Black Rebel Motorcycle Club fan website
A new festival announcement in Canada via Indie88:
Another TURF update! Today we got the names of two more groups that will be at the 3-day festivities: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
Along with the pair of artists, we received the day-by-day lineup for the whole weekend (with more artists still to be announced). Single day tickets are now available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Head over to TURF’s website for more details.
Take a look at the day-by-day lineups below:
I always enjoy hearing how much other artists appreciate BRMC’s music. Guy Garvey of Elbow has mentioned his appreciation for HOWL in NME (95 of the 100 Lost Albums You Need to Know) before:
“People didn’t really get it, and nobody ever really picked up on how good it was, maybe because it was so different to their first two records, being mostly acoustic. But you can tell when you listen to it that the album is really coming from the soul. The lyrics to one of the songs, Fault Line – “Racing with the rising tide to my father’s door” – that’s poetry, that is. Those are proper, Dylan-class lyrics. But the whole album is just beautiful musically, and it was a real departure for the band.”
I didn’t know Guy Garvey had a show on BBC 6, but apparently he has recently featured BRMC on his show which is available to listen to on the BBC 6 website for 28 days.

Guy delivers his show with a shocker this week – he’s not bothered about Elvis. His theme is The Singing Detective soundtrack and his featured artist is The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Plus tunes from The Staves, Wilco and Led Zep.
If you’ve pre-ordered “Live in Paris,” you may have already gotten your digital download of the audio. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer for the DVD. BRMC sent this update on Thursday with a mention on how Leah is doing:
Hey, we wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Live In Paris DVD.
So last month, when we first received the Master Copy of the DVD to approve, we noticed this strange little digital glitch in the audio (it wasn’t anything too serious, but it was like nails on a chalkboard to us). I guess the good news is that we caught the problem in time, and it has since been fixed. The bad news is that it has caused the release date to be pushed back about a month. It was a hard to call to make, but we didn’t feel right shipping the DVD out like that.
In the meantime, we want to apologize to you by sending you a link where you can immediately download mp3’s of ALL of the songs on the album.
In other news, we’ve begun rehearsing again with Leah (post surgery) and she is beating the living hell out of the drums again. She still needs to take it easy for the next couple weeks though and not hammer a hole through her snare drum, but so far all signs seem to be pointing towards a fairly strong recovery.
The bionic girl returns +
You will be receiving information from Firebrand with a link to download the MP3s.

Looks like a headline show!
“Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are playing at Doornroosje in Nijmegen, Netherlands on 7 July. Tickets will be available on Saturday from 10AM”

According to Deseret News, BRMC will be part of the Twilight Concert Series in Salt Lake City, Utah:
“The outdoor concert series, which will run July 16-Aug. 27, will feature artists including Death Cab for Cutie, Run the Jewels, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Artists performing Aug. 27, however, still haven’t been announced.
“The amazing evolution in both scope and popularity of the Twilight concerts has not only been very fun to watch, but has been a perfect reflection of the booming growth and vitality our whole city has been experiencing,” Becker said in a prepared statement. “I hope every resident can make it to a Twilight show or one of our great local summer festivals.
The lineup:
- July 16: Death Cab for Cutie, with special guest tUnE-yards.
- July 23: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Father John Misty
- July 30: PRhyme with Adrian Younge, with special guest Bishop Nehru; opening performance — J Godina, Best DJ winner of Best of Utah Music 2015.
- Aug. 6: The Kills, with special guest METZ
- Aug. 13: The Word, with special guest Lee Fields & The Expressions

- Aug 27: TBA
Individual concert admission tickets are $5 in advance or $10 if purchased the day of the show.
Season tickets can be purchased online at 24Tix.com for $35 until July 9. Individual tickets can also be purchased at the site up until one week prior to each concert, at Graywhale Entertainment locations, or at the gates on the evening of each concert.”
The announcement video is kind of funny (and cheesy) if you like that sort of humor:
Thanks to Darren Mackin, we have some pictures of the UK/European Record Store Day releases of BRMC’s Weapon of Choice/Need Some Air 7″ Single. It’s a very limited release for Record Store Day in the UK (only 600), and probably just as limited in other countries. Other fans have confirmed France and Sweden.
