Greener Pastures: a No Doubt fan site

no summer tour?, TK #1, music doc.

Hello! I generally don’t like to post about things like this that haven’t been confirmed by the band, but it seems to be legitimate. Blog web site drfunkenberry.com has posted that No Doubt will not be touring this summer:

“OK No Doubt fans, we have some bad news…and we have some good news. The bad news mixes in with the good news. No Doubt has decided there will be no tour in 2013.

Our source states that the band took a vote very recently and decided to stay in the studio working on a new album instead of touring behind “Push & Shove”….

We hear the writing and recording is going much smoother for them than on “Push & Shove” where it seemed like it took forever to find a groove. They do not want to mess with the cohesiveness that is taking place in the studio by doing a tour this year.

Earlier this month, a phantom date for a show by No Doubt showed up on LiveNation.com for Phoenix. Phoenix is a city that Live Nation uses as testers and does not usually mean a show is taking place there. It happens more frequently than you think.

Our source is extremely credible and I also contacted Live Nation to where they advised me that No Doubt showed up for a special Live Nation event earlier this month where Live Nation was told that No Doubt was leaning towards not touring and will decide on that in the coming weeks.

Diagnosis:  More New Music IS A Good Thing, No Doubt!”

I hope it isn’t true, as I was really looking forward to seeing them this summer. I’ll take it with a grain of salt until I hear something official. But, more new music is a good thing, too!

The Tragic Kingdom album has earned the #1 spot in OC Weekly’s “Top 20 Greatest OC Albums of All Time” list! :

1) No Doubt , Tragic Kingdom (1995)
You can’t make a Top 20 Greatest OC Albums of All Time list without mentioning this record. No Doubt is unarguably the biggest band to spawn from OC and Tragic Kingdom is their most recognizable album filled with radio hits that symbolized the FM domination of Third Wave ska. Gwen Stefani defies America’s perception of today’s Orange County woman–who isn’t always a blonde millionaire MILF wearing designer treads… oh wait. We still love you and wish we were you, Gwen! Thanks for putting OC on the map. We’ll always cherish the ’90s image we have of you dressed in that red dress, holding up an orange. —Jena Ardell”

It looks like Adrian and Tom are going to be in a new documentary film  tentatively titled “Who Killed (or Saved) the Music Industry”. From the web site, futuremachinecreative.com : “The tentatively titled is a documentary that explores the history, current landscape, and future of the music business. Highlighting many viewpoints, the film will feature candid interviews with musicians and industry professionals from  around the world including artists, songwriters, producers, lawyers, agents, managers, consumer brands and others.”

“With production underway, thoughtful and wide-ranging answers are emerging. Interviews have been completed with members of: No Doubt…”

This video from their web site includes a clip of Adrian at around the 2:13 mark:

There’s also a photo of Tom on their web site!
