quotes and that galore! :::The Dudley Corporation::: May 28 Stereo, Glasgow with Large Mound and Pan May 29 Dr Drakes, Aberdeen with Large Mound and Man Incorporated May 30 Subway Live, Edinburgh with Large Mound June 24 93 Feet East, London with Econoline and The Tycho Brahe June 25 The Hobgoblin, Brighton with The Tycho Brahe September Japan! 'In Love With...' is the 2nd LP by Dublin's The Dudley Corporation. Taking their cues from Pinback, Queen, Drive Like Jehu and a little Northern Soul, Hot Press describes the Corpo as 'subtle, bolshy, smart, unpredictable cerebra pop with chords that haven't even been invented yet'. Since the first album they've cemented a position as one of Ireland's favourite live acts, playing with Low, Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt and Steve Malkmus as well as touring in the US and Iceland. The new LP was recorded in Scotland at Chem 19 with The Delgados' string section and features artwork by Atsuo from Japanese sludge rockers Boris. It received stellar reviews on it's Irish release and contains the band's first top 30 single! "Buy it. The ghost of Chet Baker meets the ghost of Kurt Cobain on a sleepover at Burt Bacharach's ranch." - Evening Herald "Masters of gentle, wistful songs and lush soundscapes." - OK! Magazine "Sounding like they're playing their instruments while falling down a flight of stairs, then dusting themselves off for a brief moment of introspection, something special is not far off." - Q "Complex, edgy, stop-start rushes without becoming too convoluted to jettison their tunes. Super-smart stuff." - Irish Times "It is a John Cusack of a rock album: the songs full of a robust, boyish energy, an I-can't-stop-myself hyperactivity, a tremendous intelligence and a tendency to go off without any notice on fantastic, mind-boggling tangents." - Hot Press "There is so much greatness in this album that it can't be explained in mere words, a little like love itself." - Alternative Ulster, #8 LP of 2003 "a classic is born" - O2 Observer info@thedudleycorporation.com www.thedudleycorporation.com
