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.


brett and his, um, spokesperson

"what do you mean that 'love is dead' is an inappropriate selection for a wedding celebration? i'm going to hold my breath until you apologize for that remark."
