New Song, Tickets & Merchandise
Hello!

First of all a massive thank you for all the kind facebook messages/comments & we’re blow away by the distance a lot of you are traveling to make the final shows.
Now be smart, listen up; we’re recording a final song which will be part of a mini-collection of alternative mixes & edits that will be available prior to the tour on a donation only basis - with all proceeds going to victims of war charities. Full details to come.
Be double smart & book your tour tickets through Gigantic as 10% goes to Oxfam. www.gigantic.com
Finally a reminder that the current merchandise range is almost gone and no more in the current styles will be printed - but there will be a new range just for the tour.

PRRx.

got it too.

hope that the new merchandise will be nicer the H&A which did not come up to my taste.

and also really looking fwd to hear alt mixes and of course new song!!! ;D

Alt. Mixes and edits sounds specially like single edits to me... I hope it's an odd wording though.

Hugely interested in the style of the new song as well.

[matthew]

This makes me very happy. Very happy indeed. Plus I'm getting new QOTSA too. :]

Not bad for a technically defunct band. Lovely news.

I especially love the phrasing of "victims of war charities".

[mrguy]

I'm hoping that Mixes and Edits is along the lines of the victorious cupid single... Seeing it seems they have no b-sides

[butler]

What an unexpected but welcome way to bookend the bands career. I suppose it would be fool hardy to hope for a 60 min, Pleasant Shade Of Grey length track.

They're only doing it so that I have to update the discography again... ;-)

Great news about the new song. Like Ryan says, it will be intriguing to hear exactly which musical direction it has headed in.

I'm still hoping against hope that the band might commission a DVD recording of the final show in London, but my head says it's highly unlikely.

[the dark fourth]

Doesn't seem unlikely to me. They seem to commission DVDs for every major gig they do, and they've definitely confirmed they're "looking into it", so I'd say it's at least 50/50. Personally, even if there is a DVD, which would be great, I'd still be looking forward to the new song more. DVDs get old pretty fast.

[mrguy]

Full blown 5.1 Bluray would be good

Indeed. VC is by far one of the best singles I've ever seen. The alternative version is still my favourite, the remix is ace and the acoustics are beautiful.

[baldyslaphead]

I suppose it's too much to hope that it includes at least some of the stuff from the "In the Realm of the Divine" EP?
