SITE CLOSING

Due to lack of motivation or time or possibly a combination of both I have decided to discontinue updating room-eleven.org. Thank you to everyone who has visited over the past few years.

ruby throat live at the woom dvd

People in the UK who have purchased the unofficial Ruby Throat Live at the woom DVD being distributed by Light Box Productions, should be receiving it either today or in the next few days. People outside the UK will of course have more of a wait. The DVD comes housed in a slimline case with full front and rear artwork printed on glossy paper. Each copy is numbered in the bottom right hand corner of the inner sleeve. It has an interactive menu system and you can choose from playing the whole live set or choosing which song to hear. The extras on the disc are brief montages of fans exploring Katie’s Darling, They’ve Found The Body art exhibition before the live set and vox pops of their reactions afterwards. Sound quality is excellent throughout and the live footage is crisp and clear, the editing never harsh or frantic. The only downside to the whole thing is the fact the item is not an ‘official’ Ruby Throat release. The tracklisting, cover art and purchase link for those interested, follow the jump.

ruby throat news

With the commercial release of The Ventriloquist only a week away, Play.com has the album available for paid download via PlayDigital (to be released 28/08/08) and if you are desperate to hear Boat Song you can hear a preview on this page.

Also just posted on the Ruby Throat Livejournal community the news that House Of Thieves is to be released as a digital single with a brand new b-side. There is also a video being filmed for this.

attention last.fm users

This is more of a request than news of any sort. On last.fm the Corps Electriques project has been tagged under at least 5 different artists. Just a few: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I am aware that iTunes has the album listed as Katie Jane Garside & Hector Zazou.

To get a realistic idea of just how many people are listening to the project, would it be too audacious to suggest the album be re-tagged as Corps Electriques? To support this idea here is a quote from Hector Zazou:

“I.S. was chosen during a short time as band name before giving it up for Corps Electriques for album title and name project.”

Thank you for reading and please leave comments with your thoughts.
