Primal Scream unveil new singer.....Bryan Adams

Apparently the Scream played on 8th July in Regents Park as part of a Hoping for Palestine benefit. Bryan Adams also played. Can't find any info on the set anywhere.

[moggieboy]

Eh?  How come we didn't know about this - I could have gone to that.

Cheers for info Ajay.

[Quincy]

Damn it - didn't see any promotion for this at all!
How does that happen in this day and age?
The open air theatre in Regents Park is class, too.

As for the picture - I actually feel a bit sick...

[Ajay]

Agree with what you both said.  We could have gone if we had any kind of official information from anywhere.  Went to the last Hoping gig at Brixton.

As usual Chris Dolan's too busy trying to get more followers and pestering people to meet up with him for drinks, rather than worrying about giving us any actual band info.

More worrying, is that NME etc have reported his "RIP Chris Brahney X" tweet as actually coming from the Scream.  I think he's actually going to do some damage one day if he's not careful.

"Happy 4th July to our friends in America X"
"What a fucking great crown at @HopFarmFestival..Thank you X"  (yes, he put "crown")
"THANK YOU HEATON PARK.. BIG LOVE XXX"
"Follow these lot @chris_dolan etc"  (every Friday)

...etc etc.....

[Quincy]

Too true - some actual 'news' wouldn't go amiss.
Did anyone from on here actually go? Setlist etc?

[Ben Glass]

Fuming, no announcement anywhere! what's the point!!

Here's bettign that's their only london gig all year..

And i've specifically tweeted that Dolan wanker a few times asking if the Scream would play london this year and he said not likely!

Seems as if the Palestinians dont require help from the masses any more. They only want money from the fashionistas and industry insiders these days.
When it makes the frothy society pages in the form of a picture of a model then one has to wonder about the direction behind this rather fine organisation and cause. Private party it seems !
I rememebr when it was at Brixton, we all knew about it and we all could go to lend out support to the cause and see some great bands in the process. Now you gotta be mates with one of the geldof girls or come from primrose hill it seems.
rewind the revolution - you seem to have lost your way !

[Ben Glass]

think me and moggieboy got to Dolan last night on twitter   

apparently they only played 3 songs anyway

[Ajay]

haha, yes he replies to moggie 'the lads only played three songs'.
I replied 'do you even know Debbie plays bass in the band now?'.

Fuck me, he says he does PR for the Scream. Great PR to 1) not even mention they played a benefit gig and 2) ignore the new member of the band!!

No Mani no noos.

Very well put Russ.

Perhaps the Scream for their part were less than proud about the company they were keeping for this one - Bryan Adams and that tax-dodging comedian cunt!

[russ3000]

thanks jeff - it was directed more towards the Hoping Foundation than the Scream. fair dues to them, they have supported this good cause for years and that is not be disregarded.
I would have thought that they could have filled the coffers a bit more with their fans if this had been open to the record buying and gig paying public  rather than the socialite who get freebies all the time . Would hage ensure a higher profile for Hoping Foundation.

[Ajay]

Agree. I went to Brixton Hoping gig.

Tickets for this event were available, but we didnt know they were playing.

Finally unfollowed Scream Official twitter after this morning's plug:

“@ScreamOfficial: Follow these beautiful people / #ff @LittleBarrie @imeldamounfield @chris_dolan @alanjohnmcgee @Holmes7David”

Alan McGee sarcastically retweeted it after I said I was unfollowing because of Chris Dolan abusing it. Like I give a fuck.....

At least mr gary appreciated (and still does by the looks of it) Webadelica!

Nice one!
