Liverpool band Amsterdam will start recording their third album for CIA Records this spring. This year the band are aiming to better 2008 which saw them duet with Elvis Costello on EMI Records, storm Glastonbury and release 2nd album 'Arm in Arm' which ended up being voted 14th best ever album out of Liverpool by the local press which when you consider the Beatles released ten is some feat!
The bands most famous song 'Does This Train Stop On Merseyside' (the previous single 'The Journey' hit number 32 in the UK charts) was John Peel's second favourite song, John would regularly be too emotional to
speak on the radio after playing it.
The song itself got a further lease of life as one of the centrepieces of Irish legend Christy Moores latest album which spent five weeks at the top spot in his home country.
The gang have also performed live four times for Janice Long on her BBC 2 show. Ian Prowse the engine room behind Amsterdam also enjoyed previous success in the 1990's with his band Pele who recorded three
albums for Polydor/M&G.
Amsterdam are currently a riot of a seven piece band whose real forte is in the live arena. 2011 will be twenty years since Ian Prowse's first band Pele recorded the debut classic celtic pop album 'Fireworks' for Polydor.
'Fireworks' only clocks in at a fast and furious 37 minutes so Amsterdam will also perform a set of great tunes from the Noughties as well as tasters from the new album.
The album spawned four singles with hits in the U.K. Portugal, France and even a number one in South Africa. It's one ...of those great hungry debut albums from a young band eager to take on the world, there isn't a weak song on it. The seven piece Amsterdam extravaganza aim to do real musical justice to the spirit of this great record.
If you have any old friends from University in the early 90's who remember those fantastic nights in Loughborough, Warwick, Wolverhampton, Kent, Glasgow, Nottingham, Stoke, Portsmouth, Leeds and many others then let them know their favourite album is being performed in full for TWO NIGHTS ONLY!
