Thanks for the info, nicfit!

Zu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CD's a joint release with three other labels, so Europeans don't have to pay lots of postage from US to Europe.

Fortissimo Records (UK) - £8 including postage
Homeopathic Records (Italy)
dot line circle (Japan)

some tour dates (didn't want to open a new thread)

They were going to play here in lisbon yesterday, but it was cancelled...

Enjoy.

Public Guilt says Intermediate Spirit has been "postponed", "more info soon". What does that mean?

Also, my copy of the Il Teatro split just arrived yesterday, comes with a free CD, as well. Listening to it as I type.

maybe being distributed by 3 labels together they have to wait for each label to be kinda "ready"(hope this makes sense)?
Yes, the 666 copies of the split come with a free cd , nice gift.
Do you like it?
I wish my english was good enough to translate the lyrics properly, coz they're really great...

Sounds about right. It's just strange that the show in Lisbon was cancelled, and the release was postponed. But I'm not an alarmist, I just have nothing better to think about then Zu's future.


Well, I really only listened to it twice before I had to move on to other things. But if I would have heard this split maybe five-six years ago I would have worn it thin, but these days my ears only seem to latch on to structureless, scathing, irritating noises. You guys know how it is. But it is interesting to hear Zu so formatted, and I'm glad I have one of the 666. How do you like it?

And the songs do seem very much lyrically driven, but it seems like too much fun shouting "Fallo!"
Beautiful language you folks got over there.

BAD news from PG site, along with some good news, luckily,


"The Zu "Intermediate Spirit Receiver" CD which was scheduled to be released via PG, Fortissimo (UK) and dotlinecircle (Japan) will NOT be released. The band has decided to shelve the material at the moment. Zu and PG may work together in the future, but in the meantime, watch for their new album, "Carboniferous" to be out on Ipecac in Feb. 2009."

new song on myspace, coincidentally the same you can see/hear live in my youtube thingy.

I will upload it on sendspace, HBP. Most probably this evening (GMT +2) or Monday morning.
Let me know if you get it from somewhere else in the mean time!

EDIT:
A dime seed will do the trick for you? Let me know!

looking forward to see them in february in tel aviv.

Nic, any chances to record one of these italian shows?

expect some goodies from this :).
but I prefer to ask them for permission first, last time they said they didn't want to have too much new stuff "amde available" before the release dates...we'll see.

Figers crossed... let's hope for the best:)

yeh, I sent a mail to Massimo asking if it is ok to tape the gig, last time he said it was better not to "share" the new songs too early, but it was a few months ago, this time it's the "album release gig", so hopefully he'll say yesss.

If not, well, expect some pics and perhaps a couple vids, hehe.

THAT link I posted nearly a year ago is deeead.

Got green light from Massimo, hopefully I won't miss the gig...kinda messy/busy period over here........

Italian avant-rock/jazz fusionists Zu are recording an album with Mike Patton on vocals. The trio have recently completed a short European tour with Patton and are planning to enter the studio for a full-length to be released by Ipecac. Speaking exclusively to Rock-A-Rolla, bassist Massimo Pupillo had this to say: “The plan is to have the next record on Ipecac, and [Patton] will be on some of the songs. We’ve done one song with the Melvins too.”
The full interview appears in the current issue of Rock-A-Rolla (#14)

 

yeah, sucks patton will be playing with them, but definitely excited to see them!

listening to the new zu. this might be the first time ive heard this band. its incredible. very excited that they are playing in jlem in three weeks

excellent album!

and brotzmann full blast trio is playing tel aviv a few days later!

really??!?!?!?! how come it says nothing about it in auris media?
the FBT last year was one of the better shows that ive seen
can i have some details?

A little present from Nicfit: ZU - 2009 01 23 - Padova, Italy - Unwound Club (AUD) - MASTER -

seen them twice last week. the new album rocks on the stage.

i read that there would be a jlem show, so i was really psyched. but turns out there wasnt, and i couldnt make it to TLV. it sucks. but oh well. glad to hear they were good
did you catch brotzmann
(i felt like a fanboy, cause after the show i took down a promo poster and asked him to sign it)
