General OLP News

I'm in Istanbul and would looooove to see OLP. Haven't seen them since I left! London might be too far for me though, hopefully they have an expanded euro tour sometime soon that comes closer to me. Highly doubt they would come to Istanbul, but I would be the loudest and proudest there if they did!

i would vote for an istanbul show! one day i shall visit, one day

[astute_99]

Make it happen! Istanbul actually has a very rich musical culture. If you have time, check out the documentary Crossing the Bridge, it's excellent.

[Trustworthy]

will do - thanks!

[astute_99]

No problem. I recommend it to anyone else here too, it's essential for any music lover.

For the presales, will we just get an email from the mailing list? I've been getting presale codes for the US dates, am desperate for UK tickets - been waiting almost a decade to see them!!!!

Any info on UK presale would be hugely, hugely appreciated.

My graduation is the 3rd July - So I'd be pretty darn tired, but I must go!!!

Do you know PAOLO? He lives there and one of OLP's biggest Italian fans. I know he came to Canada few years back to see them... Honestly rather see them in Italy .. I need a reason( well not really) to get back over to there. What part you live in? One day want to cruise up Amalfi Coast. I went to Rome, Capri/Ana-Capri and Pompeii. Saw the BLue Grotto. That was gorgeous. Loved the men singing in Italian

oh an dyou are a real fan. There are a few artists from overseas I love who will never play here. SUCKS Big time so I understand your frustration



Also interview with Raine in Montreal Gazette

It's not the first time that i heard the name of Paolo...if i'm not wrong was Nikki to told me for the first time....well i don't know him....i have also the OLP's italian site and is also in a good position on google then i don't know if he read me! Shit i want to know him i know a few of OLP fans but aren't crazy like me!
Well i live on south Italy...in Sicily....well i know that my region is not positively known in the world ....however i can assure that is really beautiful ....however the OLP when they came in Italy the location was Milan that is on North Italy...

Birdman confirmed!

That article Tattooed posted from the Gazette, Raine mentions currently playing birdman.

[astute_99]

Not to mention Birdman appearing on the Live DVD with that amazing solo....that's the moment when I realized they got a good one when they got Steve. I remember being so nervous cause of how much I liked Mike, but seeing Steve rip through that made me so happy.

I suppose there is a reason they won't play some of the deep cuts, maybe because they just don't like them enough to play them. But I think on this tour we'll get lots of songs that they used to play or play rarely that we haven't heard in a while or very often. It will be interesting for them to play some of those old songs with this new energy they have. Thinking in particular of songs such as Neon Crossing, Denied, Stealing Babies, and Bring Back the Sun would be great to hear again. I also think that Paper Moon, Refuge and Escape Artist might survive as some of their newer selections because those are the songs that most resemble Curve to me.

BBTS was played on the Burn Burn tour. I dunno if I REALLY wanna hear that one again yet.

[astute_99]

No, you're right. I was just trying to think of a song that would suit Curve, and BBTS is pretty close. I do know that the guys really seem to love that song. My point is more about how since Clumsy/SM tour they've been reinvigorated by their back catalog and I'm personally interested in how those songs in particular would sound now
