in march a spokesperson for brett mentioned
“exciting projects in the pipeline” in response to our query for
information. as we all now know from brett's post on suede.net,
these projects involve both a solo album and an album with bernard,
which he anticipates will be released in early 2005.
on may 7th brett launched
his career as a solo artist in a somewhat massive way by performing
for the royal danish wedding in denmark's national stadium with an
audience of mere 40,000 people. his emotional and orchestrated
set began with a new, clearly wedding-themed song, "love is dead",
which was followed by versions of "by the sea", "trash"
and "the wild ones". according to brett himself, the copenhagen
gig was just an one-off that he did cos he was asked. he doesn't
have any immediate plans for any more live shows, that is, not until
the album with bernard is released.
additionally, we have learned that a 3-track single
by brett and bernard is due out soon and will be released on a
well-known indie label (hint: think the libertines' label). beyond
that, it seems that brett may be now managed by ex-nudie saul
galpern, and it's possible that his solo album may be released on
saul's label.
