New Lowest of the Low album Sept. 21st!!! - direwolf74 - 06-26-2004

Finally! It feels like I've been waiting forever for this thing to come out. The album was recorded by Ian Blurton and mixed by "In Between Evolution" producer Adam Kasper. Kasper seems to like working with Canadian bands of late. He also mixed the latest Weakerthans album. Anyway, here's the latest news for all you Low fans:

CANROCK LEGENDS LOWEST OF THE LOW JOIN MAPLEMUSIC RECORDINGS

MapleMusic Recordings is pleased to announce today that Lowest Of The
Low
has signed with the label for the release of their new album Sordid
Fiction
on September 21, 2004.

Formed in 1991 in Toronto The Low released two albums, 1991's seminal
Shakespeare My Butt and 1993's Hallucigenia before parting ways for a
six-year hiatus. Although the band was no longer together, their fan
base
never diminished and in 2000 Shakespeare My Butt reached the number six
spot
on Chart Magazine's Top 100 Canadian Albums Of All Time. That same
year the
former band mates joined forces again for a reunion tour resulting in
the
release of a live album Nothing Short of a Bullet, taped during sold
out
shows at Toronto's Kool Haus and Buffalo's The Tralf.

Lowest of the Low, comprised of Ron Hawkins (vocals/guitar), Stephen
Stanley
(vocals/guitar) and David Alexander (drums) have added some new members
to
the lineup. Lawrence Nichols, a long time Low collaborator who also
played
with Ron in the critically acclaimed Rusty Nails has joined The Low
full-time to play keyboards, harmonica and guitar in addition to
singing
back-up vocals. Veteran bass player Dylan Parker who met Stephen while
playing a few gigs with Stephen's post-Low outfit Lucky Stiff has since
become a permanent member of the band.

A tour that will take the band across Canada and to various cities in
both
the US and the UK is currently in the works for September.

Sordid Fiction was recorded over the last year at Chemical Sound
Recording
with an impressive team behind the console. Canadian rock genius Ian
Blurton (Blurtonia, Bionic, C'Mon) produced while Adam Kasper (Nirvana,
Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters) took on the mixing duties in
Seattle.
The album was mastered by Joao Carvalho (Pilate, Hawksley Workman, By
Divine
Right) at his new Toronto facility.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Finally some news on the new CD. The new songs all sound unbelievable live. I've got to hear some live and some acoustic, and let me tell ya it's some of their best stuff yet. I know there will be some new stuff on the CD we haven't heard yet too. There are a lot of keyboards on this one which add a kind of new fresh sound for them. It takes some getting used to, but very nice. September 21st seems like ages away right now. Thanks so much for posting that.

For those like myself that need a little more Low to hold them over til the new CD, Ron Hawkins and the Acoustic Revue will be playing two shows in Western New York. These shows are intimate settings, tickets are like 10-15 bucks and him, Lawrence Nichols, and others break out all the classics and new songs too. They go for 2 hours easily! They once played 37 songs one night at the Tralf in Buffalo.

The dates are:

Friday July 16 - BJ'S, Fredonia, NY
Saturday July 17 - Club Infinity, Williamsville, NY

If you're in the Buffalo area and looking for something to do on these days, you don't want to miss this!!

Funny thing...Like the Hip's lack of detail to their own website, the Lowest of the Low seem to be following right behind them with the lack of updates. Also, the "graffiti" section or message board hasn't worked in quite some time there. That's really all there is to keep up with news and info on shows, recording updates, etc. Nothing about this news of the new album release on the website. Hmmmm...both new albums produced by Adam Kasper, both websites seem to be a week or two behind when it comes to upating them. Maybe Kasper told them the website thing is old news, let the fans sweat over getting info, we'll put on a show, put out a CD and hope they dig it up for themselves. Haha, just bustin on them, we still love em!!
