SummersRadio™ Concert News! Portishead - 'Chase The Tear'/ 'Sour Times' (Airbus Reconstruction)/ 'Teardrop On Roads' (Massive Attack vs Portishead) Well today we have quite the concert announcement - Portishead have just announced their first full North American tour in over a decade! They're covering Canada, the U.S. and Mexico - but only playing a total of 11 lucky cities - and Vancouver is one of them! They will be performing at the PNE Forum on Monday Oct 24th. Tickets go on sale this Friday - with pre-sales courtesy of 100.5 The Peak and the Georgia Straight happening on Thursday.
To celebrate this event I present three distinctly different Portishead tracks - first up we have their most recent recording - the rather electro 'Chase The Tear'. 'Chase The Tear' was released on December 9th, 2009 in support of Human Rights Day to raise money for Amnesty International in the U.K. This is a cool fan made video for the song... Enjoy!
This is a rather rare remix of 'Sour Times' called the 'Airbus Reconstruction' which was first released on the U.K. cd single - and then on the 'Glory Times' EP. The 'Glory Times' EP was a Canadian only release that combined the tracklistings for the 'Sour Times' and 'Glory Box' singles. It was released in 1995 - as a 'limited edition' cd - although it was strangely available for many years, it's now long out of print. I like this version because it sounds a bit like Beth Gibbons fronting the Pixies! This is the 'Airbus Reconstruction' of 'Sour Times'... Enjoy!
This next one is actually a repost - as I first posted it on January 2nd of this year (http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/01/summersradio-massive-attack-vs.html) but it's completely repostworthy as this great remix is still available as a free download!
This mashup by Austin's Jaya Prime brings two of Bristol's finest bands together - Portishead and Massive Attack. 'Teardrop On Roads' mixes 'Teardrop' (which features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser - former vocalist for the Cocteau Twins) and Portishead's 'Roads' together in one seamless piece of trip hop heaven. 'Teardrop' is a single from Massive Attack's 1998 release 'Mezzanine' and 'Roads' is a standout album track from Portishead's 1994 debut 'Dummy'. If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy here for free courtesy of Jaya Prime himself: http://soundcloud.com/jaya-prime/teardrop-on-roads Enjoy!
