Costello And Police In Buffalo Bring Back Memories, But Not Much Excitement

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) May 6, 2008 3:00 pm
Elvis Costello started his set five minutes early, but I got to my seat during his first song, one of a handful from his new Momofuku album. Though I don't know any of the titles, and Costello didn't mention them (aside from the acoustic ballad "My Three Sons," which unfortunately had no Uncle Charlie references), I enjoyed them all and...

The Police Show Is Best Buytacular

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) November 9, 2007 2:00 pm
In my (just under) three years at Chart, a lot of reunions have come and gone. With interest, I've watched the ebb and flow of The Pixies, the resurgence of Dinosaur Jr. and Mission Of Burma's triumphant, if somewhat less popular, reformation. Recently, there's been even bigger name get-back-togethers from Van Halen, The Verve, Spice Girls and...

The Police's Legacy Holds Up At Toronto Reunion Stop

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) July 23, 2007 2:30 pm
A bass-playing Sumner and his two bandmates did a woeful job of bashing their way through a set of Coldplay-inspired rock 'n' lite reggae last night. It's a good thing then, that it was Joe Sumner and his tepid foray into the family business known as Fiction Plane and not the main gig as anchored by Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner — better known to...

Andy Summers — Earth + Sky

in
By The Mouth (CHARTattack) March 16, 2004 10:27 am
Oh God, I thought to myself when given the new Andy Summers record to review. If there's one thing that easily sends pop/rock critics running for their lives, it’s a whole disc of guitar soloing. Luckily, Andy Summers, who, when you think about it, was always a fairly tasteful player, has not created some kind of heavy metal wankfest or some over...

The Police held their first rehearsal at drummer Stewart Copeland's London, England apartment on this day in 1977. The band then consisted of Copeland, singer/bassist Sting and guitarist Henry Padovani. They recorded their first single, "Fall Out"/"Achieving Nothing," a month after they started rehearsing. Guitarist Andy...

Police Break The Bank

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) September 26, 2008 11:42 am
The Police can thank me for making them the biggest money earners in the music world over the last year. After all, I bought four tickets to their show with Elvis Costello in Buffalo, N.Y. earlier this year. But I guess a lot of other folks (about 3.7 million, to be a little more precise) are owed thanks, too, since The Police's lucrative...
