Stereolab is still a band...

Cool news! For those of us who dig the awesome Stereolab-side project Monade, there is indeed an epic treat all up in the works! Listen close, my precious little bundles and I will tell a tale! Monade will be releasing a follow-up to their kick-nipple 2005 album “A Few Steps More.” Lætitia Sadier is going to be in great voice, absolutely no question about it. The new Monade release will be called “Monstre Cosmic.” YES! (Expected release date: September 10, 2007!!!).

What of that other co-founder of Stereolab; Mr. Timothy Gane? He done scored a French film! About time, wouldn’t you say? The late Mr. Henry Mancini and Mr. Ennio Morricone are going to have to take a backseat and like it! It should be made clear that the title of said film in question is thusly dubbed “La Vie D'artiste,” and the soundtrack of which should also see a September 10, 2007 release date! Get your wallets ready lads, because this is that real good kind of extra tasty shit! Yummy-yum-yum, chili dog!

You want to know about the new Stereolab album in the works, don’t you? Fess up now! No need to be shy. Rumor has it that the new album will be out early next year (Which would be the year 2008). A tour would no doubt follow. I am excited, as beats and keyboard parts are being laid down somewhere in France presumably as I type this very sentence. Who cares about Stereo Total or Broadcast when you get the real deal tinkering with ideas around the effin’ clock? Huh? Fuck you! I’m excited! I’m excited!

This isn’t exactly news, but is arguably the origins of Stereolab. Take a gander and you will see what I mean…



Finally, for those of you living in Ireland, which would include me; Laetitia’s groovy minimalist Lounge Rock outfit Monade will greet our great Island nation for the following series of gigs:

2007
june 29 Cork
monade live at the liquid lounge ireland
30 Dublin
monade live at whelans ireland
july 01 Galway
monade live at roisin dubh ireland

Be there! (So, that recent Air album was crap, no?). Tee-hee! Later guys…I’m so sexy!

It Is By Will Alone I Set My Mind In Motion: Stereolab In 2007 And Other Related Information Important To The Collective Conscience.

2007 may be a fantastical and amazing year for Stereolab. Clearly, Stereolab is a focus of mine, much like a delicious mug of Root Beer, oh my brothers. What wonderful treats are in store for us exactly? Well, let us go about taking a look-see then, shall we? I believe we shall. Firstly, it would appear that Stereolab bandleader and hormone guru Tim Gane is finally working on a film score, appropriately enough, and perhaps even more appropriately the film is in fact French. Being a music fan primarily, my knowledge of the film is quite minimal, but the title being advertised is as such: La Vie D'artiste. Wonderful, no? Say, speaking of new French films, there is now one being developed about bitchy 19th century poet Arthur Rimbaud entitled Les Jours fragiles. Can you imagine? Anyhow, perhaps the Internet Movie Database could better clue you in about these specific film projects, because like I say, I am a music fan, so I hope you understand...

Back to the Lab, the soundtrack to the above mentioned film La Vie D'artiste may quite possibly be released via the Too Pure label here in Tha States. Stereolab are collectively tinkering in the studio as we speak and their new LP could quite potentially be released say by...October? No guarantees, but let's hope that this is the case. And for those addicted to sweaty live performance venues, Lab tour dates may very well begin by the end of the fucking year, dork. Sorry, my tourettes has been acting up like mad as of late. The Lætitia Sadier side project known in the hippest of circles as Monade will apparently have a split 45" single released hopefully in a few months time alongside an unimportant band not worth mentioning. Material by Monade is also available on the Too Pure label and more information can be found on the official Too Pure web site.

So, there you have the look ahead for our friends in Stereolab, and indeed, their related projects as well. All information is clearly subject to change, much like the sleeping position of the corpse of John Cage. As always, remember to stay clear of the band Air, and I am especially serious about this in the year of our Lord 2007 because those ultra creepy bon vivants will want to juice your wallet of its precious cash flow with their hideously drab new effort "Pocket Symphony," so yep, you heard it from me first. Allow me to leave you in bliss with the comic stylings of Monade, and to all a good night...



Oh, and the most recent record by Monade is 2005's "A Few Steps More." Please purchase it, I beg of thee. Cheerio, and may the world go well with thee...
