Sorry for the lack of updates over the past couple of months,
but I have been locked away in a protective bunker, making this
site all new and sparkly! I hope you like it!
Right, here's what's going on in the world of Lowgold:
Currently Lowgold are living their lives as international popstars
and are playing a few of the festivals around Europe. See the
gigs section for info on the
dates and locations.
Beauty Dies Young is being re-released on August 20th, on 2
CDs and 7", with all new B-sides and a brand new video.
One of the B-sides will be a reworking of the classic track
'Can't Say No', from the 108 EP, and there will also be a version
of BDY remixed by Graham Coxon!
And in terms of the site, well there are all sorts of new bits
and pieces all over the place...have fun finding them! |

Lowgold need your help!
I got this little request in an email from Miles today:
"we have had to return a keyboard to its original owner - the
keyboard in question is the little one darren plays on beauty dies
young (pretty vital then) - it's called a "casio VL tone" and it's
the kinda thing people have knocking around in toyboxes from when
they were wee. top dollar or a showering with lowgold merchandise
(ahem) would be awarded to any benevolent 'fan'."
So if you have such a keyboard, or know someone with one, (here's
a picture so you know what you're looking for), then get in
touch with me (paul_kelly@btinternet.com)
so we can sort out this little problem!

If you've got MTV2 then you'll have probably seen the excellent
video for Counterfeit by now, but if not then here's the detail:
It's the first Lowgold video to actually feature the band - the
premise of the video is a tv show called "Evening Songs Of
My Life" where a pianist plays and sings Counterfeit while
the band are the crew - Darren plays the camerman, Dan does lighting,
Miles directs and Simon is the floor manager.
The video is currently at number 10 in the MTV2 Most Wanted Chart,
which you can catch at 11 every morning and then at 10 most evenings.
You can vote for Counterfeit at the MTV2
website
Also, some festival news - Lowgold will be playing at the Dour festival
in Belgium on Friday 6th July and then T in The Park on Saturday
7th July.
And finally, there's an interview with Darren in this months edition
of Total Guitar magazine - available from all good newsagents!

A bit of bad news for Lowgold's European fans - the dates supporting

Yeah, I know it's been a while since the last update but I just
haven't had a chance for the last few weeks. Oh well, all things
come to those who wait:
I've added the lyrics to most of the tracks
on the album, a couple of pictures
from the press, another review of JBOS
and I've updated the discography.
A few more tour dates have been announced recenently, for the end
of April. These include Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle.
See tour dates for more details.
The next single
to be released will be Counterfeit, out on 23rd April. It will be
released on 2 cds, with 'Whatever You Think, You're Wrong', 'Atlantic
Pacific', 'Remission Time' and 'She Darked The Sun' making up the
b-sides. Counterfeit has already been put on the xfm a-list!

can be seen on Wednesday night at 11pm on Dublin Brand: New.
Also on tv is 'Teachers' on Channel 4, which can be seen on Wednesdays

and is on the cd that accompanies the series. It's out on monday
26th but you can pre-order it from the channel
4 shop right now.
I've had a few people asking when Just Backward Of Square will be
released in their neck of the woods...well all you European bods
can rejoice now as it'll be out on monday too!
There's an interview with Dan in this months edition of Guitar Magazine...I'll

"At last!" I hear you cry - "An update!". Yeah, sorry it's
been a while but uni gets in the way a bit! Anyway, you'll
probably all know that Mercury was released last Monday, so
if you haven't got it already, go and buy it now! then you've
got another week to save up for the debut album 'Just Backward
Of Square', which is released on Monday 12th February. On
the same day there will be a Lowgold showcase on the Radio
1 Evening Session.
The Grandaddy tour is now almost coming to a close, but don't
worry if you didn't get to see them this time around, as there
will be a big headline tour in March. All the dates are listed
in the tour dates section.
Lowgold have been getting round in the press quite a bit recently,
I've added three of these interviews to my brand-spanking-new
interviews section. Oh, and
thank you to the good people at the NME and Sunday Times for
recommending my site!
Mercury and JBOS have been getting good reviews in the press,
I've added a few of them to the reviews
section.

Hope you all had a great christmas and new year!
You may be interested to hear that Map Records have cd promo
copies of both the album and 'Mercury', and also the ultra
rare '108 ep'. They're not cheap though, but if Father Christmas
was generous with the cash then this would be a good way of
spending it! The website is here.
Mercury
is now on the Radio 1 Playlist, yay! Have a look here
if you don't believe me.
Some
of the dates for the March headline tour have appeared on
various ticket selling websites - I've put what I know on
the tour dates page.

Okay, I'm home for the xmas holidays now so hopefully the
updates will be quite frequent over the next few weeks. To
start with, I've added reorganized the image
gallery and have added some scans of the various lowgold
bits and pieces that I have acquired.
You may have heard rumours about Lowgold being support for
Grandaddy in January/February next year...well it's all true!
See the tour dates page for all the
details.
There will then be another headline tour of the uk sometime
around the release of the album....which should be out on

Huzzah! Finally some new stuff from me! Sorry it's been so
long since the last update, but I've been totally occupied
with the university thang for the last couple of months. Updates
should come more frequently for now on, I promise. Anyway,
here's what's been going on and what will be going down in
the world of Lowgold:
Lowgold
are just coming to the end of their second hedline tour of
the UK, with a couple of dates left to go. A highly entertaining/informative
tour diary is being kept over at the official site, check
it out. I attended the Leeds date of the tour and had
a fab time. Big thanks to Miles for the biscuits. Pictures
were taken and should appear just as soon as my computer and
scanner are reunited. If you have any scans of pictures/setlists/etc
from the tour then I would be very grateful if you could send
them to me for the picture gallery...you will of course have
the honour of having your name appearing in glorious text.
The next release from the band will be the single "Mercury",
available on CD (NUD53CD) and 7" (NUD53S) on the 29th January
2001. The title track will be backed by two other tracks -
"Eddie Lejeune" and "If People Were Vinyl".
Hot on the hells of the single will be the debut album, "Just
Backward Of Square", which will be released in February.
And as if that wasn't enough, there will be another tour of
the UK in March!
that was the news. thank you for listening.

Well, I'm off to start my life as a lazy university student
tomorrow, so I don't know yet how often I'm going to be able
to update the site. Do not despair though, as Marc's
site and Nude Records
should be able to keep you up to date with all your essential
Lowgold news.
peace
and lowgold.

Some bits and pieces....
This month's Select magazine has an interview with the band
and a track from the forthcoming album 'Just Backward Of Square'
on the cover disc. Speaking of which, the album will be released
sometime next year...there has been no confirmation of an
exact release date yet.
There's also a track on the current edition of the Rocksound
magazine cover disc, 'The Feelings' - taken from The 108 EP.
The tour supporting Coldplay kicked off in Cambridge last
night, and will finish on the 23rd in London. The dates are
all in the tour dates section of this
