The Palace Guards

After years of helping steer the lauded and eclectic careers of both of his bands, Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven, co-founder and
frontman David Lowery has seen fit to present a
collection of songs recorded apart from those iconic indie & alternative rock entities. Stopping short of calling it a
solo record, Lowery has collaborated with a handful of trusted musical cohorts associated with his Richmond, VA-
based studio, Sound of Music – an inner circle that Lowery has relied on for over 17 years and who’ve been
instrumental in helping create the sounds heard on this album as well as past projects.

David recorded and produced The Palace Guards in conjunction with John Morand and
Alan Weatherhead. Key players include Miguel Urbiztondo on drums, David
Immergluck on guitars and bass, Craig Harmon played organs and Ferd Moyse on upright
bass and fiddle. Special guest appearances include Cracker mates Sal Maida and Johnny
Hickman, as well as the late Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse) who played keyboards on Â“Big Life.Â” The Palace Guards will be
available everywhere February 1, 2011 through 429 Records.

The Allman Brothers Band Announce NYC Run

Historic Shows Moved from Beacon to United Palace Theatre

Allman Brothers

In what has become a rite of passage and annual destination for fans of The Allman Brothers Band, the iconic and revered group will return to New York City in March 2010 for a lengthy residency beginning March 11, with eight shows confirmed (March 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20), just as they have since 1989. 2010 marks a change of venue for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group: they’re taking their act uptown to the 3200-capacity United Palace Theatre (formerly known as the 175th Street Theatre) in lieu of the Beacon Theatre which is unable to host the ABB due to Cirque du Soleil’s Banana Shpeel already being booked.

Sarkozy pays back â‚¬14,000 in personal expenses

July 16th, 2009 | No Comments

First audit of Elysee Palace accounts in over 200 years praises French president’s openness but calls for cutbacks

Nicolas Sarkozy has paid back more than â‚¬14,000 to the state after it emerged that personal and family bills were put through the ElysÃ©e accounts. The expenses came to light in the first state audit of a French leader’s spending since Louis XVI just before the French revolution.

The report, published today by France’s national auditor, acknowledged Sarkozy had paid back â‚¬14,123 in personal bills from 2008. The nature of the costs was not revealed and Sarkozy had asked for the receipts to be returned to him. The auditors said he had not known the expenses went through palace accounts. He paid the money back just before the report was made public.

On official spending, Philippe SÃ©guin, the national auditor, commended Sarkozy for opening the head of state’s accounts to scrutiny for the first time in more than 200 years. But he highlighted areas where ElysÃ©e spending needed to be reined in, including the president’s official and private trips and the costly maintenance of rural presidential retreats that were barely used.

The auditor questioned â‚¬400,000 worth of opinion polls commissioned by the palace, some of which ended up in the press or on TV. More attention needed to be paid to making different food suppliers bid for contracts to secure better deals â€“ most of the ElysÃ©e’s meat has been supplied by the same butcher since 1969.

The company that regularly supplies marquees for the presidential Bastille day garden party was hired again last year despite charging 50% more than another bidder. The ElysÃ©e’s annual flower bill of â‚¬275,809 could also be reduced, the auditor found, and the presidential palace had spent around â‚¬3,000 on fines for late payment of electricity and gas bills.

After a row over a 140% salary increase at the start of his presidency, Sarkozy set an annual ElysÃ©e budget, of around â‚¬110m, for the first time last year in a bid to distance himself from the opaque spending habits of previous presidents who had no fixed rules. Sarkozy promised to cut the ElysÃ©e’s famously lavish spending: senior staff must now pay for their own lunchtime meals and journalists on the presidential plane are no longer served the most expensive champagne.

Seguin said that for over 200 years French heads of state had “hidden their accounts from any checks”. He said the new regime of annual audits was a “culture shock” at the ElysÃ©e â€“ efforts had been made to make spending transparent and cut costs but more needed to be done.

The spending habits of French politicians have always intrigued the nation and the Socialist party opposition in recent years had expressed frustration at the lack of transparency of the ElysÃ©e’s costs.

Jacques Chirac was notorious for his food bills before arriving at the ElysÃ©e. As mayor of Paris he and his wife spent Â£170,000 on food in one year, including wholemeal bread, bio yoghurt and Corona beers for the fridge of their private apartment. Their total personal food bill over eight years at Paris town hall was Â£1.4m, including Â£40 a day spent on herbal tea.
