bravecaptain is, Apparently, Dead.

Posted by shane @ Friday October 06, 2006 @ 07:01PM PST

Word has come in fleeting and mysterious messages of late from the world of bravecaptain. As you should know, Martin Carr -- once the songwriting force of the mighty Boo Radleys -- has been putting out albums under the bravecaptain moniker for several years now. Unhappy with the music biz, Carr's most recent bravecaptain album was released in mp3 format on his website for free download.

Now comes word that the final touches are being put on the project -- bravecaptain is dead. Carr's final show as the Cap'n happens this Sunday at the Black Lion Guest House in Kilburn. The gig is being filmed for future DVD release, and fans are encouraged to share their fave bravecaptain memories and stories at the gig.

As for the future, it's fairly murky. Carr, a friend of this site who has contributed to our many projects over the years, is being mercilessly silent and NOT replying to our interview requests. We can, however, cite a source close to the artist who lets us know that, while bravecaptain may be dead, a new band is in the works and will be revealed very soon-ish. We'll pass on the details when we know 'em.

I'm looking forward to bravercaptain already. Comebacks are the order of the day, All Saints, Take That and Jay-Z all have new singles coming out, although being dead might hamper bravecaptain chances of returning.

I saw James Dean Bradfield last night doing his solo thing last night, he really, really can sing

Is this what you call, damning with faint praise?

Shocked


New band in the works eh? Why the silence? Confused

coo, good news! perhaps we should start a New Band Name thread - though bravercaptain sounds like he went bankrupt and started a new business under a slightly different name to escape Inland Revenue

I've just imported Fingertip Saint Sessions Vol.1 onto my laptop so of course Big Red Control Machine leaps out as a great band name...

John Mc, you know some of us always thought that JDB could really really sing Rolling Eyes

I'd heard he was reforming the Boos but since Sice is with paperlung he was going to draft in Fish from Marillion on vocals....

Rolling Eyes

Cos he's dead, it takes ages to recover from that sort of thing.

I wasn't meant to be damning with faint praise at all, his voice is ace, I was really impressed. I've only ever seen the Manics in big enormodomes before and did realise how good a front man he is. Plus he looks just like he did during The Holy Bible years.
