Any news on the next album? When is it coming out?

It seems such a long time since the last one...the annual tapes are nice, but they aren't a proper fix.

There seems to be a steady-stream of vi ...

There's a new live concert recording of JL & The Voltage over at Bandcamp.

I suspect its not an official release, but the quality is OK.

Jeffrey Lewis And The Voltage - 11/11&# ...

The current UK tour features a new band-line up - its now a 4-piece (Jeff, Mallory, Brent & Isabel). The band name is still the Jeffery Lewis & The Voltage which is a bit surprising given the ...

I really enjoyed the Bedford show. Great set, good sound setup, not too busy or too hot.

I think the band were on top-form - now expanded to a 4-piece. Isabel Martin is great on bass (replacing Me ...

I've only just become aware of this 2015 track, and I don't think its been mentioned elsewhere on this messageboard, but as this is the first reggae influenced performance by Jeff (that I've heard) th ...

I do feel sorry for the musicians, actors etc. who are unable to perform at the moment. Furthermore, when shows do go-ahead, I've heard there's lots of no-shows amongst audiences (40%+) for those who ...

Its released on Netflix on Christmas Eve, so plan to watch it then. I've seen positive reviews here in the UK. They're calling it a satirical comedy. The premise of the movie sounds good - there was ...

I recently heard Susanna Hoffs latest album. Bright Lights, and was surprised to hear a cover of Syds "No Good Trying." (Its not a great version, imo). She is a co-founder of the Bangles, and althoug ...

I nearly didn't buy the Both Ways album, because the prices listed on Bandcamp don't include tax. In the UK this adds another 20% which makes it a bit expensive.
I'm not really sure why an internet r ...

I've been listening to the Both Ways album. Its good to hear recordings of the songs I recall hearing live.
Its a shame Peter has dysphonia and won't be recording/touring anymore. I hope he finds the ...

The concert was in Bedford about 30miles north of London. I'm not sure the last-minute organization was a success as it was far from a capacity audience, but that might just be an indication of people ...

On the vinyl re-issue of City & Eastern, there's a bonus Live version of The Singing Tree. Who is it introducing the band, and where was this recorded?

You can also listen to it here : https:// ...

I guess there's only one way to sure, and that would be to ask Mem...

I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but the article is about New York (even though its in a UK news paper), and I recall ...

The Wave Pictures have announced a concert near me in just 10 days time. It used to be the case that I'd have to book tickets and organize gigs months in advance. Every cloud has a silver lining, eh?

Thanks for the recommendation of the 1968 - Astral Weeks book. I read it back in the summer.
I'd never heard about Mel Lyman and the Fort Hill Community before. They've been eclipsed in popular cult ...
