Public Image Ltd have announced that they will be playing two London shows this April.
The band will headline London's Heaven venue for two nights, playing the 1,000 capacity venue on April 1 and 2.
Frontman John Lydon and co will release both a new EP and a full studio album this spring. The band will release the four-track offering 'One Drop' on April 21 to coincide with this year's Record Store Day, with the LP 'This Is PiL' set to drop on May 28. Both releases are being put out by the band's own label 'Pil Official'.
Some stats: it has been 27 years since the last Dexys album, and nine since they released two new songs ("Manhood" and "My Life in England") on a compilation album that coincided with their reunion tour.
The Charlatans' frontman Tim Burgess has revealed that he has teamed up with Kellogg's to launch his own breakfast cereal, which is called 'Totes Amazeballs'.

A new collection of demos by the late Joey Ramone, written for seminal punk band the Ramones and also for his solo project are set to be released later this year.

It’s at that point I realised Joni Mitchell’s “Hejira” had become my last resort record; not my favourite, exactly (although I could make a stern case for it, for sure), but the one I can always rely on, whatever my mood or the circumstances.
