BRMC News from AskIan
Oooh, an album title! Thanks AskIan for the update:
Pete is back in Los Angeles working on New Album Fractions. Robert is scratching in dirty animal lyrics and Leah is training with a motorcycle dare-devil and a guitar tech named Watson for the world tour. You don’t need luck when you’re built for crazy.

Robert in Sofia, Bulgaria on July 18th
An “unofficial” acoustic set by Robert for any fans in or near Bulgaria was recently posted about on BRMC’s Facebook page, if you go please take some photos and/or video!
Hey guys it’s Robert
– so the BRMC European Tour is now officially over, but before heading home I’m actually going to be passing through Sofia, Bulgaria on July 18th on my own – and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good bar or park bench in town that might allow me to get away with playing a dozen acoustic songs (without getting arrested). If so, then please post a comment here, and I’ll try to make it.I guess you could call it an unofficial-acoustic show of sorts.
Unfortunately Pete and Leah both have to fly back home to LA straight away, so I’ll be on my own this time, but… since I’m passing through Bulgaria anyway, I figured ‘What the hell’ I’ll bring my guitar and say hi.
PS: I won’t play at your birthday party.

LIVE IN PARIS IS AVAILABLE NOW!
After some slight snags, the Live in Paris CD/DVD is now officially released! Some places have gotten it on the release date (June 9th), though this notice was posted on BRMC’s Facebook page:
It hasn’t gone unnoticed by us that several people have expressed their frustration at not having yet received their CD/DVD order of Live in Paris. We hear you and have checked with the various web stores & labels around the world and can confirm that all CD/DVD orders have been shipped at the beginning of this week, with the exception of those in the US who ordered both the CD/DVD & vinyl, who have been contacted directly.
Please let us know if you HAVE received your order or if you’re still waiting as we are doing everything we can to hold the labels and stores accountable for delivering on their end.
We will stay all over this until everyone receives their order.
Sincerely,
BRMC Management
VH1 and The 405 have posted the video for “Spread Your Love” from the DVD, if you haven’t watched it on Palladia.
Here is the official email announcement from BRMC’s mailing list on the release, along with some excellent photos by Wallendorff Photography:
LIVE IN PARIS IS AVAILABLE NOW! “Like giving birth to a raging baby rhinoceros, this “Live in Paris” DVD is finally out. It’s been an obscene labor of love from day one with everything from artwork, to audio mixing, mastering, to Peter having a demon skull CGI’ed onto his face. But it’s finally out of our filthy hands and hopefully into yours very soon.
Thank you to everyone again for being so understanding with the audio fixes we had to make at the last minute, hopefully it’s worth the wait though. And for all of you overseas I guess we’ll be seeing you for another round of bruises and bites real soon. We do wish we could play more shows in more countries this summer but we still need to take it somewhat slow right now. Leah has been killing it though this week, training like she’s in a goddamn Rocky montage, someone really needs to give her an Ativan or something, the girls officially off her rocker.”

The Live In Paris CD/DVD is available now on iTunes HERE.
The new release features a triple-disc including the 33.3% documentary, live performance from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and live music from the performance.

BRMC featured on Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour
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.

Listen in pop-out playerGuy 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.
