Cold Chisel — The Perfect Crime

        ^{Cold Chisel — The Perfect Crime (October 2nd, 2015)}  Ξ★  Co mám říct? Před sebou cink..., 3x Gold, 7x Platinum, za sebou link!!! A band pokračuje i po téměř 40–ti letech novým albem. Moje nejoblíbenější píseň od nich je “Forever Now” z alba “Circus Animals” (Australian Kent Music Report number–one album od: Steve Prestwiche, který zemřel v r. 2011). Vedle současníků jako The Angels a Midnight Oil, jejichž vzestup k popularitě přišel v jimi proražené linii, Cold Chisel byli proslulí jako jedna z nejdynamičtějších koncertních kapel už od počátků kariéry. Koncerty se běžně stávaly sell–out akcemi. Ale kapela byla také známá pro jejich divoký životní styl, zejména těžké chlastání Jimmyho Barnese, který hrál svou roli jako jeden z divokých mužů australského rocku až po jílec..., nikdy jste ho neviděl na pódiu, aniž by nevybančil alespoň jednu láhve vodky a často byl tak opilý, že sotva stál zpříma. Navzdory tomu v roce 1982 to byl oddaný otec rodiny, který odmítl cestovat, aniž by nevzal svou manželkou s dcerou. Všichni ostatní členové kapely byli v osobních životech vypořádáni nebo ženatí; Ian Moss měl dlouhodobý vztah s herečkou Megan Williams (11 September 1956 — 17 April 2000..., ona dokonce zpívala na albu “Twentieth Century”), jehož vlastní persona vzhledem k veřejnosti mohl stěží byli více odlišná. Perfect Crime je agresivní album a Jimmy Barnes (James Dixon Swan) podává na svůj věk 59 neskutečný výkon. Absolutně původní barva, hloubka, dynamika a naprosto dokonalá intonace hlasu. Dlouho vystupoval i jako sólový umělec a dnes platí za jednu z nejpopulárnějších a nejprodávanějších australských hudebních person všech dob. Když se v písni “Long Dark Road” ke zpěvu a dalších, přidají Ian Moss a Don Walker, kapela zní jako zamlada. Poslech však vyžaduje silnou a vysoce kvalitní aparaturu, což většina hudebníků u nás asi nevlastní. Je to zážitek a kapela ve věkovém součtu 294 let svým drajvem klidně strčí do kapsy 99% českých seskupení. Aby bylo jasno, hráči do toho bezhlavě nemlátí a ve skladbě “The Mansions” a “Mexican Wedding” ve středním tempu přijde ke slovu i honky–tonk piano a celé se to zbarví do east–coast–bluesova. Písně “Romantic Lies” a “Blue Flame” jsou příjemným bonusem na druhou. No, je to moc parádní album. It’s a huge day of announcements for Cold Chisel fans.

★Ξ  Wilbur Wilde — saxophoneΞ★  The legendary Cold Chisel release their new studio album! Titled ‘The Perfect Crime’, and featuring songs drawn from recording sessions across 2014 and 2015, the album will be kick–started by the single “Lost!” With ‘The Perfect Crime,’ there’s a real sense among the band that they might just have pulled off the most definitive musical statement in the band’s unparalleled four–decade career. The first half of the album is dominated by a set of pulsating, menacing rockers, at once distinctly Cold Chisel, and yet for the most part quite unlike anything they’ve previously committed to tape. “It’s probably the most rock & roll album that we’ve done,” say primary songwriter Don Walker. “It’s historically been one of the bugbears that everyone brings in ballads or mid–paced songs,” adds Don, “but our producer Kevin Shirley was relentlessly looking for stuff that was up–tempo.” Lead singer Jimmy Barnes agrees: “We wanted to do a rock record and Kevin was pushing for that from day one.” The second half of ‘The Perfect Crime’ then pushes all kinds of boundaries, ranging across slow–motion Soul Train–style disco (yes, disco!),‘50s Latino cabaret, smatterings of blues and jazz... and then, for the first time ever, strings (along with soulful female backing vocals) find their way onto a Cold Chisel song, on the album’s stone–cold classic lead–out single, “Lost”. 2015 will undoubtedly be the year of ‘The Perfect Crime!’
Ξ★  The newly announced extra shows on the One Night Stand tour will happen in Geraldton (WA), Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. The show at Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, 17 November is in direct reaction to the huge outcry from their hometown fans demanding a show on the national tour. Cold Chisel played a one–off show at the Clipsal 500 in March to over 35,000 people and thought that they had exhausted demand. But their fans let them know, in no uncertain terms, that this wasn’t the case. The show at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday November 19 comes as Cold Chisel’s headline show at Hanging Rock, Vic is about to sell out. The band has also announced that on Tuesday, 15 December they will play a third and final show at Sydney’s Qantas Credit Union Arena to mark the closure of this iconic rock & roll venue. This additional Sydney date is very significant for Cold Chisel fans — it marks the anniversary of the final show of the band’s famous Last Stand tour, which ended at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 15 December 1983.
Ξ★  Cold Chisel are excited to announce that they have managed to persuade the much–loved Grinspoon out of hiatus to be the band’s special guests on 7 shows. Grinspoon have been added to the already–announced One Night Stand shows at 1300SMILES Stadium in Townsville on Saturday, 7 November and at the Darwin Amphitheatre on Tuesday, 10 November and they will join Cold Chisel in Adelaide, Melbourne and on all 3 shows at the Qantas Credit Union Arena in Sydney. This return of Grinspoon will be exclusive to these shows with Cold Chisel.        © Jimmy Barnes with his wife Jane and his daughter Elly–Mae (16 January 2013, 19:17:58), Credit: Eva Rinaldi
Ξ★  “We’ve done a couple of really memorable shows with Grinspoon,” says Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes. “They played with us on our huge return show at Homebush Stadium in 2009 and they joined us for one show on the Light The Nitro tour in 2011 and that just happened to be the biggest show of the tour. They’re a great band and a really good fit with Cold Chisel.”
Ξ★  “To say we are excited to be supporting Cold Chisel is an understatement,” says Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson. “The show we played on the Light The Nitro tour was one of the most memorable shows I have ever played in my life! Arm in arm, all of us — Pat, Joe, Kris & I. Singing at the top of our lungs to 'Flame Trees’. Grinspoon have NEVER been arm in arm before. It was a moment. I think I may have even fallen into a bush in my excitement.”
Ξ★  “I honestly didn’t think Grinspoon would be playing together again, so to get this opportunity by such a legendary act is humbling and completely out of the box insanely totally crazy fun. Now, what the hell am I going to wear?”  2015 is shaping up to be one the biggest and best in Cold Chisel’s unparalleled four–decade career. “The Perfect Crime is probably the most rock & roll album that we’ve ever done,”  says Cold Chisel’s primary songwriter Don Walker. “Now we can’t wait to get out and play some of these songs on the One Night Stand tour.” Ξ★  http://melodicrock.com/
