THIRD LEG: EUROPE
Europe
The band are about to start the European part of the third leg of "Touring The Angel". While waiting for the next shows, why not check out the shows becoming available this week from LiveHereNow! Mixed, professionally packaged, and ready to be played at a very loud volume. The CD versions are limited to 2,500 copies (for each show), so don't delay!



ROCK AM RING BROADCAST
Broadcast
On Sunday June 4th, the band will be playing the Rock Am Ring festival. You can watch the show live on MTV Central, and WDR German-Television. If you are not in Germany, you can still see the show! Check out rockpalast.de, and stream the show!



GOLDFRAPP
Opening up at select festival stops on the third leg are Goldfrapp (check out their remixes of both "Halo" and "A Pain That I'm Used To").

A few comments from the boys:

"We're excited that Goldfrapp will be supporting us for some of our festival dates this summer," said Dave Gahan. "There's a real connection between their music and ours."

"I'm looking forward to seeing Goldfrapp live," says Martin Gore. "It makes for an exciting bill."

We are starting to go through the wealth of content that is currently building up from "Touring The Angel". Here are three video nuggets. In the first clip (filmed Halloween 2005, at the Jacksonville Florida rehearsals), Anton does his best impression of Fletch. In the second (filmed April 26th, 2006, at the Concord, California rehearsals), the band play a rather goth version of "Photographic". Lastly, we have KesslerCam(tm)! Check out Mr. Kessler's footage of the band recording "John The Revelator", back in April of 2005.
