HURRICANE #1 Rising Sign The 'Cane take one step closer to "Gimme Shelter" heaven with this, a nifty swagger of a record powered up by Andy Bell's supremely boozy slide guitar and the spunky throat of Alex Lowe. There's none of the dewy-eyed glib sentiments evidenced in the last effort "Only The Strongest Will Survive", just good, honest fare for the working man. (Next potential add campaign after the Sun: Fray Bentos tinned pies.) And weighing in at almost nine minutes, complete with the seemingly infinite tail chasing outro, omens are looking good for the forthcoming second album. The same Magazine also had this in the calendar for October. HURRICANE #1 TOUR BEGINS Denser in pocket (if lighter in credibility) after the "Only The Strongest Will Survive" soundtracked The Suns' recent bid for respectablility, Hurrcicane #1 venture roadwards to promote their new, improved, more My Bloody Valentine-inclined single, "Rising Sign", beginning tonight at Aberdeen Lemon Tree and rolling on up to Brighton on the 13th. Support comes from the hot, driving-fixated Creation new boys One Lady Owner. Those of a generous spirit might wish to bring along a little prezzie for Andy and his wife Idha's new-born baby girl, Leia, who's named (of course) after Carrie Fisher's character in Star Wars.
