Portishead: Like Guns N' Roses without Buckethead
Submitted by Erik Gonzalez on May 22, 2007.In news that makes me sick with glee, NME reports that Portishead will perform live in 2008. Not that I'll be there, but maybe, just maybe, it means that they will finally release that long-awaited followup to 1997's Portishead. Heck, it's been 10 years now and each year I read 'Portishead is working on their follow-up.' The anticipation is killing me ...
Here's a video bit from their 1997 Roseland, NYC performance:

Agreed. And the accompanying album is one of my favorite live recordings ever.
I still spin Beth Gibbons' 2002 solo record (with Rustin Man) from time to time -- I thought surely we'd have heard more from her by now too.

P4K is now reporting that not only will Portishead come out of its cave in the forest, but Aphex Twin (?!) will perform too (amongst many others). At this pace, my bet is that Dick Cheney or Osama opens the shows.

The DVD of this Roseland thing is amazing. It almost makes me weep!
