Read MoreARRESTED DEVELOPMENT laid on an energetic and entertaining set at Exeter Phoenix, read our live review....
This was going to be the first time I had seen Arrested Development, so I went to tonight’s show at Exeter’s Phoenix a little sceptical as to the outcome. For me, they were renowned for a couple of tracks in the early 90’s, mainly Everyday People and Mr Wendel, I’ll admit now that I was unfamiliar with any of their other material and was alarmed to find out that they have released 12 albums since 1992! Armed with this information, I took my seat on the balcony and waited for the evening to unfold….

Read MoreTHE GOOD, THE BAD & THE QUEEN reveal 'Gun To The Head' taken from their forthcoming studio album MERRIE LAND....
The Good, The Bad & The Queen will today drop a brand new track titled ‘Gun To The Head’ from forthcoming studio album Merrie Land.
Listen to the track Here
In preparation for their shows in Blackpool, Glasgow and London the band will play 3 intimate warm-up shows in Tynemouth, at the Tynemouth CIU Club on 26th November and Cullercoats Crescent Club on 27th & 28th November - each with a rare capacity of less than 100. Tickets go on sale at 9.00am this Wednesday. Ticket information here.
This week saw the band make their first live appearance in seven years with the debut performance of album title track ‘Merrie Land’ and ‘Gun To The Head’ on ‘Later…. With Jools Holland’. Watch here.
Following an eleven-year hiatus since their eponymous debut, the four musical storytellers are back with Merrie Land, which will be self-released on the newly created label Studio 13. Produced by Tony Visconti and The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Merrie Land contains 10 new songs - written during the current period in which the UK is preparing to leave the European Union - creating a reluctant good-bye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018.
Merrie Land’s focus moves beyond GBQ’s London-themed first album to a wider land, with a beautiful and hopeful paean to the Britain of today, an inclusive Britain, currently in an Anglo-Saxostentialist crises at the end of a relationship, wondering what might be salvaged. Could there be a more perfect band - with their creative symbiosis of pasts and present and shared acclaimed music histories - to reflect on the anticipation, disorientation and confusion of current life.
The full track listing for Merrie Land is:
- Merrie Land
- Gun to the Head
- Nineteen Seventeen
- The Great Fire
- Lady Boston
- Drifters & Trawlers
- The Truce of Twilight
- Ribbons
- The Last Man to Leave
- The Poison Tree
