Fiction Plane is a North London band that began its career in America. They were signed to MCA in America and began a nine-month tour to promote their prophetically named debut album Everything Will Never Be OK. Their Pavement, Eels, U2 and Jesus Lizard influences were received to rapturous effect. Their energetic live show took them all around the US, Canada and Japan.

As it tends to happen in the music industry, their label (MCA) was swallowed up in a corporate restructuring. The band was moved to the legendary label Geffen records. This new home energized the band’s creative juices and they went on a writing spree.

Fiction Plane found their musical place, somewhere altogether new; furious energy channelled into well-crafted songs and melodies that gave life to their much talked about lyrics. These lyrics provide an insight into Joe Sumner’s sometimes disillusioned and brutally intimate view of the world.

One of the latest fruits of their labour has been the EP Bitter Forces and Lame Racehorses (Everybody’s Records), produced by Paul Corkett (The Cure, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Cooper Temple Clause), which was the first release on their home turf. After a quick two week UK tour to support that EP, the band has continued its rapid writing pace and is ready to start recording its first Geffen release.

As mentioned last week all Lm35 tickets have been sold out.

There are very few Lm50 (Golden Circle) tickets left, which are available from Sandro Azzopardi Gioielleria. Lm15 tickets can be obtained from all outlets of The Matrix, Vodafone outlets as well as on-line from www.nngpromotions.com
