Portishead Third Album

[slappy]

I'm finding the new release by the Bristol band, The Blessing way more interesting and enjoyable than the new Portishead.  
 
 Two of the guys used to play drums and bass with Portishead. They've got a jazz-funk thing going that's like David Holmes jamming with the Lounge Lizards.
 
 Its on eMusic and worth the downloads.

Portishead perform tracks from 'Third'
 
 Portishead in Portishead airs exclusively on www.portishead.co.uk on 11th April at 11pm (GMT) - the band will be performing 7 tracks from the new album 'Third'. To view this you will have to sign up. Your information will be kept by Portishead and not passed on to a 3rd party so we advise signing up early if you haven't already done so to avoid frustration at 10.55pm.
 
 After the 40 minute programme airs on the bands site it will be broadcast on Current TV.

I like the song Machine Gun

[Firebutt McGee]

I really really love this album.
 
 Hunter and Threads are BRILLIANT tracks. The songwriting really stepped up, and I can't wait to see them live at some point this year.

There was a message posted on the official website a while back (which has since been taken down) that "due to personal reasons" there are no shows planned for 2008 besides the European dates and Coachella.  Let's hope for U.S. dates in 2009.  Their show at the 9:30 in 1998(?) was one of my favorite shows ever!
