Babybird will tour with Depp after all?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizar was published today. I'm not from Britain so not so familiar with The Sun, other than I'm pretty sure it's a tabloid rag. So everything taken with a…

Thought it might be fun to post any reviews of the new album (positive or negative) to gauge the general reaction to it.Here's the first I've read, and it's a good un!http://entertainment.timesonline…

To all those (like me) who couldnt watch it for reasons of location, here are a couple of clips I managed to grab from a Johnny Depp fansite (one is a you tube clip from the Unlovable video and the o…

Karel Brooke replied to Chris Brandes's discussion 'Cambridge Gig'

Look, last thing I want is to get into a slanging match, especially over the internet (god forbid). And you're a fan of the Bird, so you obviously posess admirable qualities! I just don't see why you're so enraged, enough so that you're not willing…

Karel Brooke replied to Chris Brandes's discussion 'Cambridge Gig'

Points well made, but I still disagree. And even Stephens 'happy' songs have dark, jagged edges. If you listen to Candy Girl and think it's uplifting, I suggest you dont GET Babybird. Just lots of whining on this forum. I don't give a shit if Stephe…

Karel Brooke replied to Chris Brandes's discussion 'Cambridge Gig'

I'm going to be the voice of descent (yet again) but honestly, I'm sick of people complaining when gigs don't go quite as they expected. So Stephen had a bad night, he's entitled to have a shitty gig every so often. I don't look at what he does as a…

Karel Brooke replied to Chris Brandes's discussion 'Cambridge Gig'

Also, just read on a gossip site that Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are not getting on while on their latest film set. Now, that's kinda irrelevant (and probably untrue) but one reason given to their 'feud', is the fact Depp is always off 'practisi…

These sudden gig announcements kinda give it away right guys? Those recent rumours about a certain guest just might be true....

Lisa Anderson commented on Karel Brooke's video 'Unlovable'

I really like the "fantasy" colors of his last dream. The words to this song get me... Very wonderful video, great story within. Who wrote the words though, they are profound; thank you for it.

But like the 'Gorgeous'albatros, isn't it better when is doesn't happen? No Gorgeous, lots of happy punters (including me - I love it but then I love it all!) Goodnight easily better, and still on the setlist, hooray!

Karel Brooke replied to GabrielKintaroZutrau (Goldenboy)'s discussion 'Three Fav. Baby Bird Albums and why?'

I agree , there's just SOMETHING about Ugly/Beautiful that means I play it regularly, just has a certain feel to it. I still think it has some of the finest Babybird songs (and performances) on it - Dead Bird Sings is perhaps THE definitive Babybird…

Karel Brooke replied to GabrielKintaroZutrau (Goldenboy)'s discussion 'Three Fav. Baby Bird Albums and why?'

There's Something Going On - his dark masterpiece. Seamless and troubled, every song is great but the first three tracks are just incredible. Fatherhood - Again, find this seamless (compared to the other lo fi albums which are great but all over th…

I'd take any story from The Sun with a pinch of salt, howver it would get the band and the album MASSIVE exposure if he did go on a ten date tour with them in the summer so I can't see why it wouldn't happen. It'd take, what, two weeks out of his Ho…

Hoping this isn't true sorry but I know it's great PR and all but still. I have seen Depp play guitar in Florida at a charity gig he did with his old old bandmates he's good no doubt about it but I got the feeling he was only too aware the number of…

A higher source than the man himself. My Princess and l had hoped Depp would be at the last Manchester gig as he loves the city and is friendly with oasis. He played on one of their albums ironically.

Read this also yesterday on a french website, specialised in gossips. So, don't have so much hope but it's better than nothing... Finger crossed.

Karel Brooke replied to Karel Brooke's discussion 'Babybird will tour with Depp after all?'

Okay, just to lay my mind at rest about the possibility, who is the 'highest source' you mention? If you mean Stephen himself, let's not forget Stephen also said on the last tour (circa Between My Ears) that Babybird would never play live again. I'v…

Sorry Karel, the band will never ever tour with Mr Depp. That is from the highest source. As for the "SUN"? The rag, has the morals of an ally cat. God bless their readers.
