Angel Air will be re promoting its extensive Mott The Hoople back
catalogue as well releases from Verden Allen and Mick Ralphs over
the next few months.
New albums from Overend Watts and Verden Allen will be released on
Angel Air in the summer of 2009.
Formed in 1969 when Ian Hunter joined
Verden Allen, Dale Griffin, Overend Watts and Mick Ralphs - Mott
The Hoople released their eponymous debut album that same year.
By 1971 they were selling out and trashing the Albert Hall – rock
bands were banned for years afterwards – but just 12 months later,
after on-stage punches and insults were thrown, Mott The Hoople
split, only reforming thanks to longtime fan, David Bowie. He gave
them 'All The Young Dudes' the first of a string of hits including
the Mott-penned songs 'Roll Away The Stone', 'Honaloochie Boogie'
and 'The Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll'. Despite the success and
accolades Mott The Hoople's split was surely inevitable and by
1974 vocalist Ian Hunter had quit the band.
It is fitting that the 2009 shows are at Hammersmith Apollo – this
is where one side of the famous 'Mott The Hoople Live' album was
recorded in 1973 and was the venue they had to play twice in one
day to satisfy ticket demand, the second show ending in near riot
when the curtain came down on their final encore.
Who knows what will happen this time but these are sure to be
historic gigs. Thanks to name-checks from Rock and Roll stars over
the last 40 years and regular plays on radio, TV and film ('All
The Young Dudes' is the lead song on the 'Juno' soundtrack and
features in many more), Mott The Hoople's audience is getting
younger. Whatever age expects an audience which has an unshakeable
belief in Rock n Roll.
In an era of band reformations, it will be still be shocking to
their legions of fans that Mott The Hoople have decided to reform,
with their original line-up, to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
Shocking but thrilling to fans who include Primal Scream,
Morrissey, The Clash, REM, Queen, Blur and more.
