Anyone know when Avril's going to be playing live in the UK again?

I saw Avril play live in Birmingham last year and it was one of the most
enjoyable gigs I've been to. Avril seems to appeal to a huge range of fans,
from leather-clad punks with pink/green hair to skaters in hoodies, to
teenage fangirls, to greasy-looking black-t-shirt rock/metal types. By the
end of the show, everyone was upfront jumping up and down like sweat soaked
maniacs together. It was amazing.

You might be interested in Avril's current DVD “My World” containing lots of
Live tour action.
I don't know when she will be touring the UK again but rest assured I will
be amongst the first to shout about it here.

According to the interview on Capital FM's site, Avril's playing at
Party in the Park this year. Whether you want to put up with shite
like Busted, Nelly Furtado, Blue and Will Young until Avril takes the
stage (probably right at the end of the fucking night, as is the way
these things usually go) is another matter.

Avril's world tour starts next year - I presume she'll be playing a
few dates over here at some point (hope she makes it up north). I'm
personally going to wait until then.

And yet another reason why x-posting is not a good thing.

Besides, Patti Smith is the Queen of Punk, not this nice middle-class
all-American girl ;)

Nah, Siouxsie Sue surely, anyway Avril's Canadian ;-)

She's not that bad I suppose, at least she's not your normal stereotype for
a young female singer.

I did see a Busted clone band (of all things) on TV the other day, now they
were *really* bad !

Yeah - Avril's songs might not be the most profound or political, or be punk
enough for the liking of some punks, but on the plus side she can sing well,
writes her own lyrics and can play guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Studio for
anyone that's interested) to a reasonable standard. I guess that puts her
head and shoulders above the current lot.

Maybe, but she's still 'product'.

So are the products of Mssrs Fender and Gibson these days.

What's wrong with a decent manufactured product if it does what it says on
the tin.

Nobody pretends popular music is art.

If you want it to be ;-)

I just think she's pretty good at what she does, allthough I wouldn't
choose to listen to it.

She is most definitely NOT punk though !

So is every record you, or anyone else, has ever bought. What's the
problem?
