Maybe It Comes From Where We Are

Fistful of Mercy is Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper & Dhani Harrison. Wow, what an embarrassing wealth of talent wrapped into one entity.

Still can't get over how much Dhani looks like his pop.

I Don't Deny What I'm Seeing

Thenewno2 debuted a new video this week for Yomp. See it here. Uncanny how much Dhani looks and sounds like his pop.

Download the debut full-length You Are Here via iTunes.

Put a Little Money in This Type of Thing

Kudos to Lollapalooza - another hell of a lineup:

Depeche Mode, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Lou Reed, Vampire Weekend, Ben Folds, Fleet Foxes, Silversun Pickups, Bon Iver, Peter Bjorn and John, The Raveonettes, Ra Ra Riot, Thenewno2, and the like.

Who's up for a road trip in August?! Tickets are on sale now.

Yomp

Thenewno2 has a tune called Yomp featured on this week's Rock Band downloads for 360 and PS3. No Wii?

It's buzzy and all - probably sounds better when you're banging away on your fake drums.

You Are Here

TheNewNo2's debut album You Are Here will finally be released via iTunes on 8/1. Preview tracks at TheirSpace. Been waiting for this one for awhile.

Choose What You're Watching

Thenewno2 now has two new singles available for download via iTunes. Go here and here to grab them - I'm pretty sure they'll be worth your time and two bucks.

1. Another John Doe - from the soon coming album You Are Here.
2. Choose What You're Watching.

Looks like a new album is coming - excellent!

Reminder: this is George Harrison's son Dhani's band. Read more about thenewno2 here.

Lord Lord

It's not often you get a comment to a post from nearly a year back, but this one is worth sharing. "BleuReivers" informed us that Dhani Harrison's band, thenewno2, now offers it's first EP, brilliantly titled EP001, on iTunes. Evidently, thenewno2 has offered it there since February 1 of last year. I have failed.

Anyway, excellent. Now I know what to spend my xmas gift certificates on.

Download here. Unfortunately, it seems a hard copy is still hard to come by.

Choose What You're Watching

The Beatles' second generation continues with a (sold-out) release from George's son Dhani.

thenewno2 = dhani harrison + oli hecks

This is definitely a cool direction to go for the son of a Beatle. Sounds better and certainly less whiny than anything Sean Lennon has tried to do to stand out. It sounds different than the shamelessly (albeit lovely) Beatley tunes Julian Lennon puts out. Since James McCartney has limited his music to performing with his pop and Zak Starkey has performed with The Who and Oasis, they haven't put out much of their own material (although Starkey was in The Semantics with Ben Folds and Owsley).

Currently, a promo EP from thenewno2 is out of stock here. You can check out clips from the EP here and here. Hopefully we'll see a proper release from this sometime soon. In the meantime, check out their one and only video.
