Bad Lieutenant Single And Tour

added 26 August 2009 at 12.23

New Order Spin-off group Bad Lieutenant are set to hit the shelves with a new single, a new album and a selection of concert dates lined up in October.

Consisting of Joy Division and New Order alumnus Bernard Sumner, alongside latterday NO man Phil Cunningham and Jake Evans of Manchester's Rambo And Leroy, the album features New Order man Stephen Morris on drums and Blur's Alex James on bass.

Their Debut single 'Sink Or Swim' is available free for download from Friday (August 28) to members of the band's mailing list at www.badlieutenant.net. The debut album 'Never Cry Another Tear' is due out in October.

"This album is very important to me," says Barney in a statement. "It gives people the chance to hear a gifted new singer and guitar player who I think’s really talented. There is some continuity to the music I’ve made in the past. But this is very different – because different people are playing on it. This is just how I now want to make music – it feels right to me and I hope at least a few other people feel the same."

Bad Lieutenant will also be playing gigs at Heaven in London on October 21 and Manchester's Ritz on the 22nd. Tom Chapman will be playing bass at the live dates, so don't get excited, Blurheads. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday August 26 at 9.30am.

1. The ablum is going to be great and the new single Sink or Swim is very good also, anything that Bernard Sumner touches gold, but one thing that is bothering me so much is the album artwork, New Order and anything related to their music comes with great artwork but the album cover for the new Bad Lieutenant album Never Cry Another Tear is totally unacceptable, anyone can make this in their home it requires no talent, I don' think they took any time or interest to design the sleeve , it is just a BLACK & WHITE cover with a scribble, VERY VERY VERY UNACCEPTABLE, I hope you take your time to change the album cover with some art and color, here is the link so you can see it for yourself.
