Pulp have announced 2 side shows alongside Splendour in the Grass and I guess you could call it Splendours 'little brother' of a festival 'On the Brightside'.

Saturday 23rd July - Riverside Drive, Perth

Wednesday 27th of July - Hordern Pavilion - Sydney

Friday 29th July - Festival Hall - Melbourne

 

The posters dont have Russells name on it so I am assuming he wont be getting on the Qantas plane....

So much excitement!!!

Jarvis loves us. Well, I do remember the last tiome he was in Melbourne (2009) and I remember him saying 'see you in a few years time' - and I said to a friend, I bet the next time we see him will be with Pulp....not sure what the moral of that story is - but am very happy....

Australia only got 1 lousy Pulp tour in 1998....so maybe thats why - to make up for lost ground?

I would have thought they'd have done Sheff Arena along with a date in Glasgow and London. Ah well, they're a funny bunch. Not that we don't know that! Looking forward to reading new interviews and press pictures

I think this is a cause for optimism for those of us outside Australia. A taste for their own shows can only make a UK tour more likely.
And I have a feeling they'll do South and possibly North America at the end of the year, or the start of next. The legions of Mexicans, Argentinians and Americans pleading for Pulp to come to their shores on Facebook might have more of an effect than you think.

I guess sans-Russell, they're more likely to play stuff like Party Hard, The Fear & Bad Cover Version. So although I'm dying to see Russell for the first time I hope we can find a recording of the Aussie shows. Particularly if they do Party Hard (:

alectrona, i know i know - if only someone could say to Russell we're nice people - accomodating - we dont bite much. I was looking forward to his violin parts rocking out the hordern and festival hall and perth....means Mark has to step out - i hope this also means they play some extra tracks from This is Hardcore - Party hard and the fear...oh and to hear Dishes would be amazing!

Everyone should go on the Coachella facebook with requests. The amount of retardation on there is mind-numbing and we need some valid posts to balance things out and show there is a demand for PULP.

 I believe there will be a UK tour after all the festivals.  I also believe that they will possibly be more interesting, and they will probably delve into the more obscure parts of the back catalogue.  It wouldn't surprise me if they did something like Suede and played the four Island albums over four nights.  With a few B-sides and Intro merged into His 'n' Hers.  Well I can dream about it anyway.

I'm hoping this works. But this was taken this morning up the road from my place. Obviously it almost made me have an accident in my car when I first saw it.

I think this thread is also turning out to be my way of keeping track of everything Pulp but seen from Australia.

Great kind of wrap up/ write up about them from local street press mag rag Brag.

http://www.thebrag.com/2011/06/27/interview-pulp/


No doubt I'll be keeping you all posted from all the Pulp Aussie shows.

over and out.

cutters.

I believe Jarvis just answered the Morrissey Vs Pulp imaginary fight debate from another thread at the start of that clip. Clearly Candida would be the last one standing!

just flew home from Perth back to Sydney after an incredible Pulp gig at On the Brightside last night. The festival itself is small, only one stage but with a lineup including warpaint, the kills, modest mouse, the hives, tame impala, james blake.....at $10 a band - can't go wrong!
I said to myself, that even when you're getting pushed around up the front for hours on end, if you can get right up the front in front of Mark and Candida it will be worth it. So from the time The Kills started I started making my way up the front and I still had about 5 hours to go! The Hives before Pulp meant a battle of the frontman...I cant say I own a Hives record but I've seen them a a few times now and they're always too much fun. Alot of 'the kids' left the front barrier after The Hives so I was smack bang in front of Mark. The curtain got pulled across the stage and seeing the Pulp neon sign go up and thinking all the hours wasted watching The Park is Live and FEELINGCALLEDLIVE....I love it how about 5 mins before the questions being projected onto the curtain and everyones clapping and it makes those long minutes waiting go that little bit faster. Went down well with the crowd, especially the dolphin bit....and then they came on and it was so exciting hearing Marks intro for DYRTFT...Jarvis was in fine form - saying that he had been to Rottnest Island thatt day and telling us about the killer 'quokkas' (cute wallaby type things). He asked the audience who was there 13 years ago when Pulp played at some dodgy disco in Perth....a few peoples hands went up. For us 'Fact Fans' he told that it was David Essex's birthday and then proceeded to sing Rock On complete with beatboxing and making up some of the words. Ummmm what else, they all looked really well - Mark was totally shredding his guitar - completely unassuming he is which is what I love about him. There was a 'T Barrier' down the middle of the crowd - dividing the over 18 years olds and the younger contingent. I have to say and this was really quite odd that when they started up Babies, the crowd did not go crazy - Its like 'the Pulp tune' - This is Hardcore sounded sooo good and I have a new found respect for Sunrise cause it was epic and so f**king loud. Didn't one of Pulps roadies say that Pulp were the loudest band they had ever worked with...? (I seem to recall reading that somewhere..) Seeing them completely reinforces that maybe all those years cutting out articles, ordering 12" from Rough Trade might just be worth it. It was just so good.......The setlist was

1. Do You Remember the First Time 2. Mis Shapes 3. Something Changes 4. Disco 2000 5. Sorted 6. I Spy 7. Babies 8. Underwear 9. This is Hardcore 10. Sunrise 11. Common People with if time permitted Monday Morning, Like a Friend and Razzmatazz up for grabs...

Below are some pictures. I also made a point of not watching the whole show from behind my camera which I sometimes do....Take a few pictures and hope for the best but suck it all in that you're (after 14 years of OCD over this band) finally seeing them and its the best thing ever.

PS. I got the biggest grin from Mark - made the gig for me. 

PSS. Jarvis humping the stage monitors during This is Hardcore while his son is looking on in the T Barriers....

and this one is for Sarah - making my way up to the front I spied the 'Warhol' amp...

Fantastic pics cutcopy.

So did Monday Morning/Like A Friend/Razzmatazz get played in the end? I imagine they'll play them for their own shows in Oz in the coming week. Hopefully some other later material too given they will be their first non-festival shows sans Russell - A Little Soul most likely...it might give an indication to the Brixton setlists.

Maybe even a bit of an Amy Winehouse song given Jarvis' penchant for birthday/death mentions.

Re. Amy Winehouse. Jarvis'll probably mention it at some point. She did after all share the same birthday as Mark. (14th September)

Yep, she was exactly 13 years younger than him.

will report from Sydney and Melbourne.....havent heard any interviews yet on the radio but I'd say some footage from Splendour will be on Channel V.....

And no, Like a Friend, Monday Morning and Razzmatazz didnt get played. I think the festival was running behind and as Jarvis mentioned, people needed to get the bus home.....

Sarah, I thought you'd like the amp photo. I was really excited when I saw it....!

Aren't Cast reformed now? A lot of the slightly modest indie bands from that era seem to be reforming and touring.

yeah- it wasn't exactly a golden age to me, that 1996 aftermath. It occurred to me that the people who weren't around or active then possibly look at this time with envy, like it was a classic age. It was so dish water dull to me! The Bluetones, S7- urgh.

it is abit like that - and I guess for a non uk person (like say me from a different country) who fell for all these great great british bands it really did seem exciting....spending way too much money on 3 month old NMEs and Melody Makers...... but really if you see my record collection, there's probably about 10 of those so-called britpop records - for me it was more identifying with that whole indie-outsider thing and wearing adidas sneakers and thinking Jarvis and Liam were about the coolest people on the planet - (thats a whole different story - Whats indie these days anyway.....etc etc etc)

Its also a stupid thing when here in Sydney they have 'britpop' nights - they are fun if you wanna get pissed and dance around. But as far as musical tastes - yeah shed seven and cast and those bands can stay un-reformed.

Just seen somebody on Twitter mention that they played Bad Cover Version and The Fear.

Doing a non-festival of their own without Russell I guess meant that more later material was inevitable.

All it's missing is OU or Countdown and it trumps Toulouse...Brixton is gonna be epic :)

it was definately epic. Will post some photos and a review later tonight. We rocked up about 3pm and they started sound checking about 4-4.30pm and we heard them run through 4 renditions of The Fear, Trees, Bad Cover Version, Lipgloss, Like a Friend and Party Hard. They were amazing last night. But will post more tonight....!!!

Excuse the disjoined review. I'm just trying to remember - it was epic and everything I ever wanted a proper Pulp concert to be like. So excuse the jumping from one thing to another....
so like I said, we turned up about 3 and as I was sitting over the road having a drink and a smoke, I am fairly certain I saw Mark Webber walk up - he wasnt with the band, just by himself. Before I could kind of figure out what to do he was already inside the gate....dam!!!  At about 4:30, we could hear them soundchecking - they ran through 4 renditions of The Fear, Bad Cover Version a few times, Like a Friend, Lipgloss, Trees and a really striped back version of Party Hard before Candidas keyboards kicked in.It was wonderful.

Fast forward 6 hours later of standing around, Jarvis was in fine form. We had 'Fun Facts with Jarvis' - though he was mentioning people I didnt really know but we cheered anayway. During I Spy he got down off the stage and had this little stethoscope camera and was pointing it at people and then their faces were being projected onto the background of the stage, you know those big square light things they had at Wireless. As he was down the front, some girl was pestering him to play Babies, so that was dedicated to her after Jarvis taking the mickey out of her - the girl got Babies dedicated to her so he could take the piss out of me all he wanted if I got a Pulp song dedicated to me! He also said Australia made his very favourite chocolate bar - Cherry Ripe (I'm thinking of taking a few tomorrow to give to him - he gave me a beer and some chocolates last time he was here so its only right!) - Jarvis gyrating to This is Hardcore (I have the most wonderful bit of footage of him fondling his microphone.....it actually even made me feel uncomfortable cause he was just their, less than a metre in front of me doing this).

I was in front of Mark and Candida again - All that talk of Jarvis and Mark not getting on - well they were really bouncing off each other last night :P The setlist was sublime. Live Bed Show - now that came out of know where as I it might not have been included in these setlists and hearing Sydney sing back the words of Bar Italia was just amazing. I get to do it all again in Melbourne tomorrow night and its kind of sad that all this sillyness of jetsetting around the world to see them is coming to an end.
Apologies for the shitty DigiCam photos - I wasnt allowed to take my big camera in so the pocket cam had to do. Its going to be a blast when they get back to the UK for those Brixton shows.

 Thank you for the review and pics!  That photo of Mark and Candida is fantastic.  I would like to see that footage of This is Hardcore please...wink.gif

Mark seemed to arrive earlier than the rest of the band at T in the Park as well...I had the exact same reaction as you; before I could decide what to do he was gone. 

So what's this about Jarvis and Mark not getting along??  Do you mean recently?

Live Bed Show!  shocked.gif

Just found the answer to my violin question...Tom Peloso from Modest Mouse.  I can't imagine standing in a festival crowd, but this lineup sounds like it would have been a lot of fun to watch.

"With Russell, Candida, Mark, Steve and Nick all visibly enjoying themselves..." no.gif

Bad Cover Version sounds amazing there. The Fear is pretty good too although Jarvis seems a little too cheerful whilst performing it. Great news that Like a friend wasn't an exclusive for Glastonbury, gives us hope for upcoming gigs. I wish I was in Australia. Roll on the end of August!

Great version of "Bad Cover Version." Here's "Live Bed Show," with some friendly banter between Jarvis and Mark just beforehand!

Back home from Melbourne. Review time!

Pulp were playing Festival Hall in Melbourne which is a venue just on the outskirts of town. Rocked up around 3pm again and there were 6 people already queing - some of the same Sydney people from the concert a few nights ago headed to Melbourne as well. It seems to be that Pulp fans can all just get along even though they've never met! Everyones fagging and talking about the Sydney gig and what B-Sides they wanna hear.fabulous!

They soundchecked for much longer than Sydneyits almost as if they're using these venues as rehearsals? Got to hear The Fear, Like A Friend, stripped down Party Hard, The Birds in Your Garden (YES!!!), Bad Cover Version, Trees, Help the Aged - possibly Joyriders.but the inclusion of The Birds in Your Garden - could be a nod towards the setlist for Brixton?

We get in and once again stake prime position in front of Mark and Candida. Oh! their support band for both Sydney and Melbourne was a Sydney band called Belles Will Ring (shameless plug here) but having seen them loads of times around Sydney (and being one of my fav local bands - I even once shared a boat ride with them) it was great to see them supporting my all time fav band. If you like 60s, Scott Walker kind of stuff - (Even Jarvis had their CDS in his pocket)
Anyways, the gig starts with the usual 'light show' and we're off. I think maybe after the second track, Jarvis is sliding all over the place in his 'eels - he fell flat on his arse right in front of me, so decided to get one of the roadies to bring him out some rubber soul shoes. So he just changes his shoes right there on stage!

The coolest thing - well I think so, was during I Spy and he did the stethoscope camera trick down in the front row, anyway during the last line before the band kicks in, he sticks it in my face - so yeah being serenaded too by Jarvis inches away.. - cross that one off..

Mark being guitar hero during Sunrise - this man is totally underrated as a guitarist. And for someone who hasn't played much guitar for the past 10 years.

Coming back for the Encore, Jarvis shares his champagne and fuck it was strong - so thanks Jarvis for getting me that little bit more pished.

I knew this was my final hurrah, and I kept looking up at the celing thinking this cannot be happening. My all time fav band is in front of me - this is their 3rd own-proper show and they're doing it in Australia. Perhaps, just perhaps Jarvis enjoys Australia, thinking he toured here in 2007, 2009 and back in 2011. I'll think that anyway or maybe its just logistics...

So as I've written previously, they soundchecked Party Hard but a different sort of version - kind of stripped back in the start just before the chorus kicks in. As its Friday, Jarvis is asking if we wanna Party, and I yell out Party Hard which he says yes to - now most people kind of think this is a David Bowie rip off, but this is the song that got me into Pulp all those years ago - so to hear a new version of it, never played anywhere - I feel pretty lucky. Still had Marks wah wah guitar and Candidas keyboards but just the starts a little slower. More climatic - kind of builds up instead of just blasting out of nowhere.

And that was it, well Mis Shapes seems to be ending the gigs and what a way to bow out. I think standing dead in front of Mark and Candida for 3 shows, Mark recognised me and mouthed a Thankyou - I was thinking, no Thankyou - Thankyou for coming so far and deciding to play again - but hopefully fingers crossed they maybe one day come back to Australia and we can do it all again. Met some wonderful people - each having wonderful stories of how they got into Pulp and Jarvis gigs and a lucky few having seen them when they toured in 1998.

I did bring my This is Hardcore 12" (the single - not the album - far too heavy -come off its, split across 2 records..) to maybe/possibly get signed. Only Jarvis came out, but he very graciously signed it, asking if my name started with a 'K' and commenting that it was old, and not for resale. I think also it shows his character, Jarvis spent about 5 mins with a girl who was wheelchair bound - we all crowded around while she told him she was there in 98, and how great they all were - he asked her if it was a little too loud for her which we all laughed at - it was nice of him to do this. Albert was there as well, and was pulling on Dads jacket - it was abit after midnight by this time and absolutely freezing so a kid being up this late - well I was wanting to go home too!! Got a photo with Jarvis and Alberts in it as well. Cute as a button!

We saw the band pass in their Avis HireVans and I was waving with my record in the air, while we skipped down the street fagging and saying it was absolutely incredible. Hope they saw us in the back streets of Melbourne and got a kick out of some loonies waving at them!

So I can officially say, 4 x Pulp gigs in the space of about 25 days, for anything to top that - well its going to be very hard. Live On.

Dammit Cutcopy, I'm a perfect Othello for jealousy here! wink

I agree, though. He is a CRIMINALLY underated guitar player. Always thought that Hawley got a bit lionized at Mark's expense somewhat. It's like the Beatles had George Harrison and then got Jimi Hendrix as a touring guitar player. hmm

(BTW your first photo is the wrong way round)

Review from Splendour.

THERES SOMETHING ABOUT JARVIS PULP
The long build up to the Pulp set features a series of questions projected across the stage (self-referential Do you remember the first time?; crowd pleasing Do you want a drink?; just plain odd Do you want to see a dolphin?) and by the time the curtain drops the size of the crowd assembled in the ampitheatre proves that the band should have been given headline honours.

Their reunion may be shortlived Jarvis told the huge crowd that This could be the last time we ever play in Australia but theres no sense that the band is simply churning through a back catalogue of old hits (like Pixies set last year). The set is almost another episode of that much loved series The Jarvis Show with the crowd relishing his sparkling banter and wolf whistling at his hip thrusting dance moves.

Highlights include well just about everything in the set with Mis-Shapes, Underwear, I Spy, Babies and This Is Hardcore all getting an airing. Sorted for Es and Whiz is every bit the festival anthem youd always imagined it to be, but the biggest response predictably came for Disco 2000 and the set closer Common People, which featured an inaudible guest cameo from Bridezillas Daisy Tully on violin.

As you say. Jarvis humping the monitors. Nice slide from Mark at the beginning.

It was Jarvis's Tour of Rooting 2011. Bless.

Sarah, if you see Mark in your travels, please tell him that the Australian shows were marvellous and he's even better than he was 10 years ago. Guitar playing that is!

cutcopy your reviews have been tremendous, thanks for sharing.
Just, er, one question though...what the chuff is ''fagging''? Chain-smoking or something else?

oh to clarify, fagging = smoking. Just a slang term - I know the other meaning as well but no not that - just plain chain smoking.

The reviews have been fun to put together - cant wiat for all your reviews now!!!

Quite sweet of him that, the soft sod.

Did anyone notice the images of Mr Senior over the neon P U L P sign when Jarvis was introducing Common People and explaining Russell's absence? Really nice touch...were other images of the band beamed from the lettering during the rest of the show?

Loved every minute of the Melbourne gig, well worth the wait to see Pulp for the first time!

Delighted that they played Misshapes and Like a Friend. Bit gutted that Pink Glove wasn't in there, but you can't have it all!

Managed to get my photo with Jarvis after the gig too which really made my night. It required a long wait but it was great to finally meet the bloke. He didn't seem to drunk which surprised me, but then again I was fairly drunk myself :)

Hope to get to another gig soon, so hopefulyl the reunion extends beyond 2011!!

I'm trying to work out which of you were whom while we were waiting for the doors to open... I was eavesdropping on your convos LOL :) I always try not to be noticed myself... I didn't wait around after to meet Jarvis, I didn't think that would happen, but I don't ever do that anyway... my loss but hey :p
I was a bit disappointed they didn't do Razamatazz... but it was surreal to actually be a part of the energy during 'common people'... I have only ever seen that on youtube before. I hope Jarvis doesn't stop doing his solo gigs... I really enjoyed that in '09 as well. It is great that we didn't have to wait too long to see him back in OZ. I wish Darren Spooner would tour! hehe ;)

hey symphonie, well I was there from about 3pm - hmmm lets work this out, I had adidas sneakers on and tiger legprint tights and a big duffle jacket. I was smoking quite alot to pass the time. I may have given you a lighter if I'm thinking who you could be. Were you waiting at door 7 or 6?

and yeah, I dont usually wait around. I was having the same convo with someone about this in Melbourne - people who kind of demand that they must get a setlist, they must meet the band etc. Its like, the band is doing you a favour by playing so just be cool. Having said all of that, we waited because well, i had my vinyl with me and even though I have a photo of Jarvis and myself from around 6 years ago I thought well its now or never and I actually wanted to see if the other members of the band would come out. I would have been just so excited to get a photo with any of them and tell them how super they've been and how much fun the Australian shows are etc. So the fact that Jarvis came out and spent some time with us photos, signatures, well that was amazing, afterall little Albert was pulling on his jacket saying he wanted to go home. I hope our conversations werent too boring!!! Discussing what b-sides we want to hear and all trying to outdo each other with Pulp stories :P lots of fun though!

I was at gate 3 cutcopy, so I guess I didn't see you; I certainly would have remembered your outfit! :) Plus, I wouldn't know what to do with a lighter... ;) The conversations I heard were about how Jarvis bases most of his lyrics on his real life experiences... and they were discussing why someone would hide in a wardrobe with lusty intentions... interesting :)

sorry this is a bit off subject but does Jarvis often go down to meet the fans after a concert - calculating my chances of getting an autograph or photo after Brixton.

That review's arguably better than half the "professional" ones I've been reading online since the reunion. :)

Curious - what did Jarvis say about Russell's abscence, exactly?

Ive never been to Brixton, but I think it was just a matter of waiting and by the time he did come out it, alot of people had left - By the time her came out there was probably only 15-20 people. It was lovely to say the least and it was great of him to do it + you know, Melbournes not quite the epi-centre that London is - I can imagine every one will be out to get a autograph when they play Brixton....GOOD LUCK Jazza!

from what I can remember Jarvis didnt mention much about Russell not being their in Melbs or in Perth, but in Sydney I did notice a sort of montage - well more Russell photo sans His'n'Hers being projected onto the screen and I think we all cheered when Jarvis mentioned him. Will remember more after i listen to the bootlegs.

Photos from Belles Will Ring who supported Pulp on their Aussie tour. Looks like they had a ball. If you get time to check them out, do so! They are amazing especially their first record 'Mood Patterns'. One of the best ever Sydney bands! If you dig your bands 60s, spectorish, psych and scott walker-ish.

3/6ths of them anyway. I hope they at least do a ''follow-up'' interview with Lamacq after the last show at Electric Picnic and talk about how the summer has gone for them.

I'm not sure where you are situated Twiggy, but maybe try their actual site. Ive been a fan of them since I first saw them open for the Long Blondes in brisbane in 2007 and have followed them ever since. Seen them loads of times and then when it was announced they were supporting Pulp - it was the best! Their newest record is The Crystal Theatre but try and pick up Mood Patterns if you can. I dont work for them , just really really love them.

Oh no i'm actually from Poland;). About this recording i find it at some blog, but it looks most likely to be originally from 'fanmaderecordings'. I downloaded this solo shows, and planned to check it in some free time. Makes me happy, because i have just a few of it. So thank you!
