CLASSIC POP: New Bananarama album — first in a decade! — and intimate U.K. tour announced. I loooved seeing them in the U.S. a year ago this month. Full review of that gig HERE. Get your tickets HERE.
ROLLING STONE: More great news for '80s-music fans — Huey Lewis and the News are prepping their first original album in 18 years. Lewis, 68, has not toured in a year due to sudden-onset hearing loss (possibly due to Meniere's), but that seems about to change:
We’re very excited about our new album, and honestly feel that it’s among our best work — we cannot wait to get it out to fans! We’re equally excited to be with BMG, whose reputation as a "music-first" label precedes them admirably.
Huey Lewis, in a new statement
If this is it, you better be ready to see them live!
