Band announces initial West Coast gigs to support their latest album, Version
2.0.
Senior Writer Gil Kaufman reports:
Having teased fans with a limited, six-date U.S. tour in May, electro-rockers
Garbage will launch the first leg of their full-scale journey through North
America in support of their sophomore album, Version 2.0, on Sept. 17 in
Denver.
The mostly West-Coast dates will put the band -- made up of singer Shirley
Manson, guitarists/keyboardists Steve Marker and Duke Erikson and drummer Butch
Vig -- in front of U.S. fans for the first time since the release of the album,
which features the current single "I Think I'm Paranoid." The dates include
stops in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Santa Barbara, Calif.
Even though the quartet spent most of its summer playing massive European
festival dates, Vig said he wasn't afraid that U.S. audiences will have
forgotten about the band, whose self-titled 1995 debut sold four million
copies.
"I think we came out pretty strong and hopefully it will be a slow build," he
said of Version 2.0, which has logged sales of more than 400,000 copies to
date. "We told the label we didn't want to come out blazing with a real pop
single, because last time we got to four million [in sales] over like 18
months." Vig said he hopes the band can have similarly slow-but-steady sales
this time around.
Garbage aim to throw their fans for a loop with a recently recorded B-side to
their upcoming third single, "Special" (RealAudio excerpt), which will be
released around the time of the tour kickoff.
"We just recorded this acoustic version [of "Medication"] with just guitars,
piano and vocals instead of the typical layers-and-layers Garbage approach,"
Marker said. The song was among several B-sides, which also included the new
song "Thirteen Times Forever," recorded by the group in their home-base
Madison, Wis., studio two weeks ago, before jetting off to play the Fuji Fest
in Japan on July 1.
The band will be bringing along fellow keyboard-obsessed rockers Girls Against
Boys when they launch the tour, which is slated to run through Christmas.
"We've seen them play several times at radio shows the last couple of years and
we just thought they were really cool," Marker said of teaming up with the
electro-funky GVSB. "But they're not too similar to us."

with Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth and others). They said that they would
be back to play in Toronto in a couple of months. So far though, I haven't
been able to come up with any definite dates, venues etc. Anyone else had
any luck?
