A Friend in Canada just sent me this, thought it might be of (some) interest...
From Alternative Press:
When Scottish folk-pop sensation Belle And Sebastian made its maiden voyage to our shores last month for CMJ in New York, the group requested that its performance take place in a 150-year-old cathedral. Church services at the cathedral are still presumably free, but rumor has it that use of God's quarters for that September evening of mellow melodies enhanced by fellow Scots the Pastels cost the band $10,000. Though the band no longer has a record label (since the decline of The Enclave), sources say Belle And Sebastian are hoping to line up cathedrals for a tour of the U.S., when and if that ever happens. It seems likely that Matador is going to pick them up, but whether or not the New York-based label helps put the band up in cathedrals remains to be seen. =========================================================== Seems like they must be making quite a bit if they can really afford $10,000 for a concert !! How many poeple claim to have Tigermilk so far then ? It seems it's beyond 1000 by now. Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
