Thought some ppl might be very interested in this, found this on Lushington Entertainments website:
Following Brett’s huge success with his bands SUEDE and THE TEARS, he returns to perform his past hits and current self-titled album as a soloist headliner.
Brett will perform at the Hong Kong Convention Exhibition Centre Hall 3 on the 14th August, followed by Singapore Suntec Hall 601 on Saturday, 16th August 2007.
Brett Lewis Anderson, a singer-songwriter with impeccable credentials, remains one of music’s heavyweight performers. Having spearheaded the 1990’s indie scene with Suede’s blueprint for Britpop and re-established one of the world’s greatest song-writing partnerships with The Tears, he returns to the fore as an accomplished and independent new artist.
Written and co-produced by Anderson & Fred Ball, his long-awaited, self-titled solo debut is infused with a bright, charismatic snap through 11 melodic, personal songs. A journey into Brett’s own emotional landscape, it’s carried off with enough skill to make it a universal experience. “As a soloist, there’s much more responsibility. The writing process is fundamentally the same – you get inspired and you write something – but with early Suede it was Bernard who took care of the music and I wrote the lyrics & vocal melodies. Now I carry the mantle alone.”
In 2004, following Suede’s disbandment, Anderson and Butler enjoyed a successful renaissance in The Tears with the critically acclaimed LP ‘Here Come The Tears’. It was during this time that Anderson began writing his own solo material as a parallel endeavour – something that was both personally and professionally ambitious
Personal, contemplative and passionate, the new album marks a brave and exciting phase for Anderson and his audience. Tender and melodic, the album is almost exclusively performed by Brett – musically and vocally – and is testament to his trademark voice. Combined with a backdrop of keyboards and lush orchestrations, it’s the sound of a revived and musically relevant artist.
“This phase in my career isn’t about this one album, it’s about the next one and the one after that. I love the sense that I can make the next album sound very different from this one, which is one thing you can’t do with a band. I’d like to make the next record with a different group of people and have a completely different feel for it.”
Singapore tickets will be available through all Sistic outlets at S$148, S$98 and S$68 plus S$2 sistic fee.
Hong Kong tickets are priced at HK$650, HK$550 and HK$380 and will go on sale at all HK Ticketing and Tom Lee outlets.
Both Singapore and Hong Kong’s public sale will be on Monday, 4 June 2007.
