What sort of prices did people pay for tickets on the most recent tours (2018/19 and 2022/23) ? And how much would people be expecting to pay for their (hopefully) next tour in the future?
I wanna start saving 😭
Pre album gigs. King Tuts was especially memorable given the small 300 capacity. ABC from what I can remember held about 1500.
You could feel it was the start of something big.
Think I also saw them at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange around that time.
Check out the prices. £6.90, so around $9 a ticket.
Good times...
first alex and matt, then matt and jamie all in the same day omg
As in, I don't necessarily mean that the lyrics themselves are great or have deep meaning, I'm more asking if there are lines that are satisfying to listen to because of the way Alex sings them / pronounces the words etc.
For me, it's gotta be "devising methods to both have and eat your cake, mmm, just like the ones that mother nature used to bake" or "the confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good".
I'm curious to hear your favorites!
I just realized listening to The Ultracheese for the 100th time, that when Alex sings the line "get freaked out by a knock at the door...", there are actiually two knocks at what sounds like a door, as part of the beat.
I thought I would like to share this for those who didn't realized it befor, like me.
Yesterday at NYFF, Jonathan Glazer debuted a 38-minute film called Joys of Joys, wherein London kids record the making of the HELP(2) album at Abbey Road Studios. The production team also gave camcorders to kids in conflict zones in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and Yemen, to build an overarching theme of the world through kids' eyes. Apart from the very worthy mission of the album and the film, there are behind-the-scenes clips of Jarvis Cocker from Pulp, Olivia Rodrigo, Cameron Winter, Damon Albarn, etc., and AM of course. Glazer said he's still looking for a streaming distributor, but it'll be a nice film to check out if you are interested in the mission behind HELP(2)/War Child and/or want a peek behind the curtain of producing an album like this :)
