The Dears Look To The Future

The Dears

The Dears

The Dears, one of Risky Fuel HQ’s favourite bands, have spent the last year or so in a sort of cataloguing phase, having the book The Dears: Lost In The Plot written about them, then releasing the documentary film/live album combo Never Destroy Us: Live At Pasaguero about their history.

After all that lead singer Murray Lightburn told Sarah, amongst other things, that for 2013 the band are done looking backwards. It’ll be all about doing new stuff from here on out.

You can read the full interview by heading over to Spinner here.

Spinner Mega News Pack: The Dears, Hilotrons, Ariane Moffatt And Some Drunk Dude

Here’s the latest batch of news stories I’ve done for the Spinner AOL Huffington Post empire:

The wonderful people of The Dears, who rank somewhere between 5th and 23rd best act in the world on any given day, have put out a new live album. They recorded it in Mexico because Mexico is crazytown banana pants for them.

That drunk dude who sung “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the back of a cop car? He had his day in court. And he lost.

Hilotrons did a video for “She Knows My Condition (Part 2)” so we premiered it.

Ariane Moffatt, who Sarah totes loves, debuted her “Too Late” video with us, too. It’s nominally about a chick bicycle gang. Hot.
