Tenacious D Announce October Tour


Tenacious D announce October UK tour – ticket details
Tenacious D have announced a UK tour for October.

The duo, who consist of actor Jack Black and comedian Kyle Gass, toured the UK last month, but have now confirmed a fresh batch of dates for the autumn.

The run of shows begins at Brighton Centre on October 18 and then takes in shows in Wolverhampton on October 21, Manchester on October 23 and finally London's HMV Hammersmith Apollo on October 24.

Tenacious D are touring in support of their third studio album 'Rize Of The Fenix'. The album is the follow-up to 2006's 'The Pick of Destiny' and the band's 2001 self-titled debut.

Speaking previously about the album, Black said that he believed his band didn't get the credit they were due "because we're clowns" and added that he also believed his new album was superior to the recent efforts by Foo Fighters, Jack White, Gotye and Tom Waits.

He said of this: "I do love Jack White's 'Blunderbuss', I love the Foo Fighters, I love Tom Waits, his new record is incredible and Goyte. But our album is better than all of those, and because we're clowns, we don't get that kind of love."

He added: "In a 100 years' time, no one will remember Gotye or the rest, but the shining beacon of The D, they're going to start religions after us."

Tenacious D will play:

Brighton Centre (October 18)
Wolverhampton Civic Hall (21)
O2 Apollo Manchester (23)
London HMV Hammersmith Apollo (24)

Tickets will go onsale on Friday (July 20) at 9am (GMT). To check the availability ofTenacious D tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/TICKETS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

The track is the first to single to be taken from Green Day's forthcoming '¡Uno!' album, the first of their '¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré!' album trilogy.

'¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré!' will be released in three stages, with the first album '¡Uno!' coming out on September 24. The second LP '¡Dos!' comes out on November 12 and '¡Tré!' on January 14, 2013. All of the albums are available to pre-order now from the band's website.

The series is the follow-up to Green Day's 2009 studio album '21st Century Breakdown' and signals a move away from the band's spell of producing concept-driven records.

To coincide with the albums' release, the band will release two documentaries. One is being made by Tim Lynch, a producer of the band's recent DVD Green Day: Bullet In A Bible and Tim Wheeler, a co-producer and editor of The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights and will focus on the making of the band's upcoming three albums. A second documentary is being created from vintage footage from the band's pre-'Dookie' days.

Green Day will play headline shows at Japan's Summer Sonic festival and France's Rock En Seine in August and a headline slot at I-Day festival in Bologna, Italy on September 2 as well as three shows in Germany in late August. Green Day, 'Oh Love' - review

Deep Purple's Jon Lord Dies


Jon Lord of Deep Purple has died at the age of 71.

The co-founder and keyboard player with the metal pioneers passed away today (July 16) after suffering a pulmonary embolism. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer and was surrounded by his family at the London Clinic.

Lord founded Deep Purple in 1968, and along with drummer Ian Paice was a constant in the band during their existence from 1968 to 1976. Her co-wrote many of the band's songs, including the seminal 'Smoke On The Water' and was responsible for the legendary organ riff on 'Child In Time'. Watch the track below.

He remained with the band when they reformed in 1984 until his retirement in 2002.

Renowned for his fusion of rock and classical or baroque forms, he was perhaps best known for his Orchestral work 'Concerto For Group And Orchestra' first performed at Royal Albert Hall with Deep Purple and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969 and conducted by the renowned Malcolm Arnold. The feat was repeated in 1999 when it was again performed at the Royal Albert Hall by the London Symphony Orchestra and Deep Purple.

He also worked with Whitesnake, Paice, Ashton And Lord, The Artwoods and Flower Pot Men.

A statement from his representatives reads simply: "Jon passes from Darkness to Light".

A host of musicians and celebrities have paid tribute to Lord. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine said:


Richard Jones of Stereophonics commented:


Meanwhile, Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath took to his blog at Geezerbutler.com, to write:
Very sad to hear of Jon's death, following his battle with the demon cancer. One of the great musicians of my generation. Tony Iommi recently worked with Jon, and said what a lovely bloke he was. I met him a few times, but never got to work with him. Blessings.

Jamie Cullum called the late star a 'hero', writing;


Actor Ewan McGregor also paid homage, saying:
