The Allman Brothers Band

03.11 – 03.20 :: United Palace Theatre :: New York, NY

The Allman Brothers Band recently invaded NYC for their annual March run. Although the shows had moved from the Beacon Theatre to a new location, the United Palace Theatre, and despite being a few less shows than originally planned, the band was in top form throughout the run.

The Allman Brothers’ March New York Run is always a time to bring friends to the stage, and this year’s event was no different. Over the course of eight nights the band welcomed 17 special guests, including: Susan Tedeschi, Doyle Bramhall II, Gov’t Mule keyboardist Danny Louis, Eric Krasno, James Blood Ulmer, Rob Barraco, Bruce Katz, drummers James van de Bogert, Justin Stanley and Kenny Soule, guitarist Scott Sharrard, sax players Jay Collins, Kris Jensen and Bill Evans , flutist Kofi Burbridge, guitarist Junior Mack and bassist Todd Smallie.

ST Engineering’s US shipyard wins $233m contract to build fast missile craft

ST Engineering today announced that its US shipyard VT Halter Marine Inc (VT Halter Marine), has secured an undefinitised contract in excess of US$165 million ($232.5 million) with the US Navy for a fourth Fast Missile Craft (FMC) for the Egyptian Navy.

The FMC is designed to perform coastal patrol, surveillance, interdiction, surface strike and naval battle group support for the 21st century. The vessels will allow the Republic of Egypt to maintain the security of its coastal regions for both itself and friendly countries, while denying access to the areas by any potential adversaries.

The Soundtrack of Our Lives | 02.27 | S.F.

Words by: Lindsay Colip | Images by: Steven Walter

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27.10 :: The Independent :: San Francisco, CA

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27 :: S.F.

They call themselves the “greatest living, six-piece, space rock ‘n’ roll band in the history of the eardrum,” and they might be right. The Soundtrack of Our Lives put on one of the best shows I saw during San Francisco’s Noise Pop Festival (read more about Noise Pop here). The Swedish rock band kicked, jumped, and played their hearts out at The Independent, a brilliant venue that allowed both the intimacy to connect with the audience and the much needed space to accommodate all six rockers. There was so much happening onstage, so much pulsating energy, so many people to watch; I felt like I had been thrown into a wash/spin cycle. It was clear from the first note of “Babel On” that I was going to be under their spell for the entire set and I was more than happy to oblige.

Soundtrack is comprised of Ebbot Lundberg (vox), Ian Person (guitar, vox), Mattias Bärjed (guitar, vox), Martin Hederos (keys), Fredrik Sandsten (drums) and Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm (bass, vox). They’ve been playing together as a family for 15 years and have put out six albums, with the most recent being Communion in 2008. Their core sound is rock, with some psychedelic, alternative, folk and gospel hints. Frontman Lundberg has serious stage presence. Often seen wearing a long robe and scarf of sorts, he is reminiscent of a religious/spiritual leader waiving his hands in the air, almost like he’s summoning the music gods. His raspy, gritty voice makes you believe he’s been through a lot, lived a lot and seen a lot. And no doubt he has. They all have.

When I spoke to the band they talked about the wildest places they’d played in the past 15 years. Mongolia was at the top of their list, mainly concerning the food they had to eat. They were forced to eat tripe and apparently tripe is furry. Furry? “Yes. It IS furry,” they insisted. They’ve rocked in every corner of the world, including near the Pyramids in Egypt, where Bärjed was chased by 200 screaming fans because they thought he was Michael Jackson. The only place the guys haven’t been to yet is South America, and it’s next on the list.

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27 :: S.F.

With several world tours under their belt, six albums and 15 years together, TSOOL are as comfortable and perfectly worn as your favorite pair of jeans. They play with character, love of their craft and full throttle energy. They sweat. They do jump kicks. They belt out lyrics. They’re like a messier Rolling Stones, a folksier Oasis, and even a nice nod to the Grateful Dead. They write the music first and the lyrics come, as Lundberg says, “by coincidence.” They’re not polished or predictable, but wild and rough.

Speaking of wild, Bärjed wears a pretty fantastic fire engine red pant/jumpsuit whilst slaying his guitar. Billy Crudup’s character (Russell Hammond, lead guitarist of Stillwater) in Almost Famous could’ve easily been based on Bärjed. I was half expecting him to yell, “I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!!” Hederos was a treat to watch on keys, extremely enthusiastic, singing his heart out and pounding away, hardly touching his seat. All the guys were rock stars, but there wasn’t a scene-stealer in the group, and I think that’s due in part to their longevity playing together and their love for each other. Watching them perform and talking with them you can tell that they feel a strong collective bond, a brotherhood of sorts. The biggest bonus is that they genuinely have a good time playing together. They are having a riot onstage, which in turn makes us have a riot.

During the set, they played both oldies as well as newer songs from Communion, but my favorites were “Flipside” and “Lost Prophets In Vain,” where everyone was singing along.

If you’re new to these guys, download “The Passover,” “Babel On” or “The New Messiah” to get a feel for their flavor. San Francisco was one of their last stops before heading back to Sweden and they certainly gave us something to look forward to – their return.

Renewed diplomatic efforts over Iran’s nuclear activities

• AFTER Iran announced that its long-delayed Bushehr civilian nuclear plant will be operational within a few months, American diplomats will renew efforts to obtain further sanctions against the Islamic republic over its suspected efforts to build a nuclear bomb. Hillary Clinton, the American secretary of state, has been trying to persuade members of the UN Security Council, including Russia, which has been helping to build the Bushehr plant since 1995, to accept to a new round of sanctions against Iran. The country’s government refused to agree to a compromise plan for its uranium to be enriched in Russia.

• AMERICA’S vice-president, Joe Biden, tries again to untangle the knot that is Middle Eastern politics. He travels to the region on Monday March 8th and will meet the leaders of Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt and Jordan in an attempt to encourage the resumption of peace talks. George Mitchell, Barack Obama’s envoy, is adding his weight to efforts reopen negotiations. A recent row over historical holy sites has not helped to warm relations, as Israeli archaeologists in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians see as their future capital, are intent on uncovering evidence of Jewish ties that could be used to undermine the Arab presence there. …

Google Leans on GeoEye-1 Satellite for Celestial Views

The price of a puff

Smoking is an expensive habit in some countries

A PACK of the most popular cigarettes in the Seychelles in 2008 cost $15 at purchasing-power parity (PPP), based on data from the latest World Health Organisation (WHO) tobacco report. But at market exchange rates the price was only $3.98. Since currencies should trade at the rate that makes the price of goods the same in each country, purchasing-power is a good indicator of how expensive goods are. Smokers in Russia, China, Egypt and Brazil pay less than $2 at PPP for a pack; Britons pay around $8. Part of the WHO’s scheme for tobacco control includes raising the price of cigarettes to reduce demand. More than 5m people die each year from tobacco-related causes, yet only 8% of the world’s population live in a country with graphic health warnings on packets.
