Saw xPropaganda in London last night. Brilliant! Played the new album The Heart Is Strange in it's entirety and some classic gems from A Secret Wish.
Not often a band can get away with playing a new album in it's entirety but the material is so strong, it was completely captivating and Claudia Brucken's vocals were faultless.
Glad you have a fab night. Have been playing the new album, plus the live Gary Numan , A-ha oldies & new AF one you guys recommended to me the other week. Really good to mix it up a bit and steer away from the usual stuff I listen to.
Even though we're coming out of Covid now, it seems to be a minefield booking gig tickets right now! In the past few weeks alone had Billy Idol, Lindsey Buckingham and A-Ha cancel/postpone gigs 🙁
Particularly gutted about A-Ha cancelling who were due to be playing the Hunting High and Low album in full.
And I see a-ha have cancelled their gigs totally with refunds being processed rather than rescheduling the gigs again.

Brilliant to see this. It's such a quality album! #UKAlbumChart
Meanwhile in the Top 20, German synthpop group xPropaganda - comprising Propaganda members Claudia Brücken and Susanne Freytag - land at Number 11 this week with their debut collective album The Heart is Strange.

Yes, We are currently in Birmingham for a 3 day stay. The plan was a long weekend with A-ha as the main event. It’s not the end of the World - Birmingham has plenty of night life to offer here. May even go and see the new Top Gun movie! Lol
Anyway, I think A-ha have only cancelled 2 or 3 shows due to sickness in 38 odd years, so I’m not pissed at them! Lol. I wish Morten a speedy recovery…Perhaps, it’s all that alcohol he’s consuming that caused the laryngitis? Just kidding folks. 😉

With all my duranning last week, I missed this release, but hands down, Pizza Boy by Everything Everything is my favourite song of 2022 to date.
The layered electronic chorus, the funky verse, the handclaps, the existential turmoil in the lyrics.
Is it fun on your own? Just you and your mobile phone? Are you coming to life? Do you want me to look inside?
My other recommendations on the new album (Raw Data Feel) are the truly sublime Leviathan, and Metroland is Burning. But really, other than Shark week, it’s all really great. I only get truly excited by about five albums every year. This a one of them.

I haven’t seen it yet, but there’s been great reception for the new Top Gun film. Maybe It wouldn’t be a bad idea.
cerati900: thank you so much !!

classix: Both albums have good songs. the issue is more about the production and the fact that DD tried to depart from their style.

raggedtiger: Well I am enjoying it, I don't care what anyone says. But, does anyone know why Dolly and Simon are not doing a Duran Duran song? Everyone else is covering something of theirs, why not Simon?
