Morrissey Sets Album Release & Tour December 17, 2008 by Antimusic.com Link Morrissey will release "Years of Refusal" in the US February 17, 2009 on Attack/Lost Highway. "Years of Refusal" will be Morrissey's first studio album since 2006's UK #1 "Ringleader of the Tormentors". In February, Morrissey will begin the US leg of his world tour that includes rare intimate club dates. The late Jerry Finn, who previously worked on 2004's critical and commercial smash "You Are the Quarry", produced "Years of Refusal" which is the last album he worked on. The single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris", which Morrissey debuted during his sold out 2007 world tour, will precede the album. Long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker play on the album, which also features a contribution from Jeff Beck on the track "Black Cloud". Morrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. The New York Times recently stated, "Morrissey isn't just any singer: he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama". His influence is felt worldwide through the countless artists that cite him as their primary inspiration. "Years of Refusal" is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend. Fans can pre-order "Years of Refusal" and get the opportunity to buy tickets through Ticketmaster 24 hours before they go on sale to the general public. On sale for select dates begins this Friday December 19. Track list: "Something Is Squeezing My Skull" "Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed" "Black Cloud" "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" "All You Need Is Me" "When Last I Spoke to Carol" "That's How People Grow Up" "One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell" "It's Not Your Birthday Anymore" "You Were Good In Your Time" "Sorry Doesn't Help" "I'm OK By Myself" Tour itinerary: 02-28 Boca Raton, FL - Mizner Park 03-01 Orlando, FL - Hard Rock Live 03-03 Jacksonville, FL - Florida Theater 03-04 St Petersburg, FL - Jannus Landing 03-06 Myrtle Beach SC - House of Blues 03-07 Atlanta, GA - Variety Playhouse 03-09 Asheville, NC - Orange Peel 03-11 Durham, NC - Durham Performing Arts Center 03-13 Richmond, VA - The National 03-14 Washington, DC - Warner Theater 03-16 Montclair, NJ - Wellmont Theater 03-17 Pittsburgh, PA - Carnegie Music Hall 03-19 Buffalo, NY - University of Buffalo Center for the Arts 03-21 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom 03-22 Philadelphia, PA - Academy of Music 03-25 New York, NY - Webster Hall 03-26 New York, NY - Carnegie Hall 03-28 Mashantucket, CT - Foxwoods 03-29 Boston, MA - House of Blues 03-31 Ann Arbor, MI - Michigan Theater 04-01 Columbus, OH - Palace Theater 04-03 Milwaukee, WI - Eagles Ballroom 04-04 Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom 04-06 Minneapolis, MN - State Theater 04-07 Kansas City, MO - Midland Theater 04-08 St Louis, MO - Pageant Theater 04-10 Dallas, TX - Palladium Ballroom 04-11 Houston, TX - Jesse H Jones Hall 04-12 Austin, TX - Bass Concert Hall 04-14 El Paso, TX - Chavez Theater 04-15 Albuquerque, NM - Sunshine Theater 04-28 Killarney, Ireland - INEC 04-29 Galway, Ireland - Leisureland 05-01 Omagh, Northern Ireland - Leisure Centre 05-02 Belfast, Northern Ireland - Waterfront 05-04 Stirling, Scotland - Albert Hall * 05-05 Dundee, Scotland - Caird Hall * 05-07 Glasgow, Scotland - Barrowlands * 05-08 Glasgow, Scotland - Barrowlands * 05-10 Liverpool, England - Empire * 05-11 London, England - Royal Albert Hall * 05-13 Great Yarmouth, England - Brittania Pier * 05-16 Cambridge, England - Corn Exchange * 05-19 Hull, England - Hull Arena * 05-20 Hartlepool, England - Borough Hall * 05-22 Manchester, England - Apollo * 05-23 Manchester, England - Apollo * 05-25 Salisbury, England - City Hall * 05-26 London, England - Troxy Ballroom * 05-28 London, England - Brixton Academy * 05-29 London, England - Brixton Academy * 05-30 London, England - Brixton Academy * 06-02 Paris, France - Grand Rex 06-03 Lille, France - Aeronef 06-05 Luxembourg - Rockhal Club 06-06 Rotterdam, Holland - Watt 06-08 Antwerp, Belgium - Elizabeth Hall 06-09 Offenbach, Germany - Capitol 06-11 Cologne, Germany - Palladium 06-12 Berlin, Germany - Columbiahalle 06-14 Bremen, Germany - Pier 2 06-20 Oslo, Norway - Senstrumscene 06-24 Stockholm, Sweden - Hovet 06-30 St. Petersburg, Russia - Maneshe 07-01 Moscow, Russia - B1 Club * with Doll and the Kicks | |
