Gossip axe live dates to push 'live' DVD
The Gossip's planned November US tour - which was to have had Long Blondes support - has been pulled to allow the band to sync it with the release of their 'live' DVD. The upside? With a couple of months free, the Long Blondes are going to be recording a new album this side of Christmas.
They must find the songwriting process easier than Beth and the boys. According to Rick Rubin, the live record is to fill a gap caused by writer's block:
'I saw [the Gossip] at the Troubadour, and they blew my mind'," [Rick Rubin] said. 'It was the best show I've seen in five years. Afterward, I met with the band. They felt stressed, and they were having trouble writing songs. The energy in the room when they were performing was so intense, and I'm not even sure how we'd get it to feel like that in the studio. So we decided to record a live show during their European tour, and we're going to release a DVD of the live album as their first release.'
How surprising that Beth Ditto - who has so much to say - is so dry of ideas they're lobbing out the same songs again in lieu of a proper new record.

All they need to do is get Rick Rubin to produce them. They'll be singing early '90s rock numbers in no time
"beth and the boys"?
i thought the gossip were two ladies and one gentleman?
There's only so many songs you can write about how the Scissor Sisters' fans just don't get you...
Still, an overhyped band in the midst of a creative drought - this is normally where Kate Moss steps in for a duet, isn't it?
