The Brit Awards 2007 Will Showcase Snow Patrol, The Killers, The Kooks, The Fratellis, Muse and More!

Sunday, February 11, 2007

Whether you're out on a date with your significant other, smooching on the couch with candles and light jazz on, or without a date and sitting at home alone, you may be interested in The BRIT Awards 2007.

Broadcasting live at Earls Court 1 on Wednesday, February 14, 2007, the show's line-up consists of eight live UK acts and a total of 14 nominees. In 2006, seven of the Top 10 best-selling CDs in the United Kingdom were by British artists.

BPI Chairman Peter Jamieson said, "Music is one of the things that the British do well."



"But even by our standards 2006 was a great year. The BRIT Awards...will celebrate Britain's love of music with a fantastic mix of UK and international artists."

As of today, the final five nominees for single of the year are:

The Feeling - Fill My Little World
Razorlight - America
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Take That - Patience
Will Young - All Time Love


The big winners are expected to be Snow Patrol (pictured at the left) whose album Eyes Open was the best-selling album in the UK in 2006, selling 1.5 million copies.

Eyes are also on NYC rockers The Scissor Sisters who sold 1.1 million copies of their album Ta-Dah that spawned the mega-hit "I Don't Feel Like Dancin."

The eccentric and flamboyant New York City rockers The Scissor Sisters (pictured at top right) followed their debut success with the 1.1 million copy selling "Ta-Dah" that contains the hit single 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin''.

The Killers, whose album "Sam's Town" has gone quadruple-platinum, and are up for two awards, will perform live at the awards show.

But a lot of rock fans will be thrilled to know that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers will also perform. They are nominated for Best International Rock Band, an award they won in 2003.


A host of other UK acts are also rewarded with nominations, including Bob Dylan, Paolo Nutini, Nerina Pallot, The Fratellis and The Kooks, Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Kasabian and Lemar, Jarvis Cocker, Thom Yorke, Gnarls Barkley, Lily Allen, Beyonce, Beck, Corrine Bailey Rae, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Winehouse, and Guillemots.

Radiohead's In Rainbows and Ray Davies' Working Man's Cafe
michael showalter by brendan


It's a rare thing when a new album release becomes a classic almost overnight. But in the case of alternative rock icons Radiohead, the 2007-2008 releases of In Rainbows is being hailed as a masterpiece; some even say more so than the landmark releases of The Bends and OK Computer. This time around, Radiohead has drummed up their own multi-layered promotion, distribution and publicity machines thanks in large part to the band's revolutionary and bold move last fall to offer the new release - for a limited time - at a price determined by the consumer. While Radiohead was not the first to use the Internet this way - Ray Davies, the iconic singer-songwriter of The Kinks, gave away his latest CD Working Man's Cafe - for free this past summer. …
