Blackfield & Deadwing

Topic: Music

The Blackfield concert is only 5 days away! And there is some big news. According to the Blackfield web site there were some problems getting visas for the full band so Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen are going to perform a stripped down (acoustic?) show of Blackfield and solo sets. There is a possibility that Blackfield will perform at some U.S. shows of Porcupine Tree this summer. But wait, there's more. Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater will be joining Steven and Aviv on keyboards Monday! Awesome!

According to the Iota Club site SW will be opening the show with some Porcupine Tree tunes. Perhaps some from the new album? Lets hope so.

As for Porcupine Tree... the new album "Deadwing" will be released 28 March in Europe and 19 April in the U.S. There will also be a 5.1 mix available. The U.S. tour will commence in May, although there aren't any confirmed dates yet. There is also a mini-site devoted to the album with sound clips and such... check it out at deadwing.com
