Re: Looks like an ELVIS & IMPOSTERS TOUR for 2021

They sure are rolling out the live-show announcements slowly, eh? Does anyone have any info on further upcoming dates? (I, of course, am particularly interested in NYC...)

Re: New album with the Imposters in 2021?

I feel unable to express my nitpicky opinions after this now :D Well, I'll recover, don't worry :D don't forget, different people have different experiences. For me EC is a national treasure for all the amazing things he's done in the past (and influencing several decades of my life). He certainly ...

Re: New album with the Imposters in 2021?

Apologies for the harshness of my initial post. I’ve been a fan of this site for many years and certainly was not referring to anyone here with my “least loyal fan base” comments. I suppose, just like most of the dedicated followers here, I’m just constantly perturbed/mystified by the ongoing lack ...

Re: 2021 Live Dates?

I'm sure it'll be at least a short tour.

My prayer: Please let there be 1) No video backdrop on stage and 2) No backup singers.

Agree, its a consistent album and has aged well. I also rate Momofuku.

This is getting a bit "thin," isn't it? What next, a limited edition 7" of "No Flag" played backward?

Re: New album Hey Clockface released October 30, 2020

Agree with topbalc and Hawk...except for the part about these recent records equaling EC's 70s-80s stuff. That's crazy talk. But yes! How lucky are we that he's not only still active, but doing interesting and different work here in 2020. It's a blessing. I long ago reconciled myself to the reality ...

You're right. My bad. I was/am, in fact, grouched up and it got the better of me. Steve has done yeoman's work bringing these performances to us. I'm very grateful.

Wish I'd seen the late show. I was at the early show, which was "challenging." Lots of idiots in the crowd--shouting, talking during the performance. EC was peeved, as was I.
