CRANBERRIES 2009 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED!

9/23/2009  -  THE CRANBERRIES TO TOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS

19-Date Tour presented by Guesstimation; the party game where the closest guess wins.

September 23rd, 2009 - New York, New York - Dolores O�Riordan and the original members of The Cranberries will reform for the first time in nearly seven years for a live tour. �I�ve decided to reunite with my former band members in The Cranberries and we will be writing new songs and performing tracks off my new album as well as our greatest hits during the shows. I�d love to see you out there.� O�Riordan stated. Guitarist and co-songwriter Noel Hogan offered �Over the last few years, each member of the band has had time to work on different projects and learn so much from their experience. Now the time is right for The Cranberries to bring all of this together and move forward.� The 19-date tour is set to begin in Baltimore, MD on November 12th and is presented by Guesstimation; the party game where the closest guess wins.

In January, O�Riordan played a set at Dublin�s Trinity College with band members and brothers Noel and Mike Hogan to commemorate her being made an Honorary Patron of Trinity�s Philosophical Society. The performance was the first time the band members had seen each other since 2003. Never officially broken up, the band instead has been on hiatus, and being in the same room and playing music together for the first time made them realize how much they had missed each other.

Dolores O�Riordan has also released her solo album, No Baggage, via Zoe/Rounder Records in the U.S. and Canada and via Cooking Vinyl for the rest of the world.. With No Baggage, O�Riordan�s unforgettable, distinguished voice is back and better than ever. She co-produced and wrote all of the tracks on the album with Ontario- based Dan Brodbeck, resulting in a bright, clean sound that finds the singer�s astoundingly emotive voice front and center, be it on the gorgeous piano ballad �Lunatic,� the forthright, rocking track �Be Careful,� or the infectious, driving lead single, �The Journey.�

�I probably haven�t worn my heart on my sleeve like this since the second Cranberries album (1994�s No Need To Argue),� she says. �It�s at times very confessional and dealing with my true emotions. Everyone, through their experiences or their background, has had terrible moments where they think they can�t handle it. With this record I�m trying to show that, no matter how bad things may seem, it�s not really that bad in the big picture.� says O�Riordan.

Guesstimation, distributed by Discovery Bay Games, is unlike traditional trivia games, you don�t have to know the exact answer to win the game. During each round, a question is read and everyone writes down their answer. For example, how many women go into labor on the New York City subway each year? After everyone has made their guess, the answer is revealed and the closest guess wins the round (Answer: 80). Guesstimation (2+ players, ages 8+) is available at Barnes & Noble Booksellers and Toys R Us stores nationwide and online at Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com) and toysrus.com

Led by �Linger,� The Cranberries debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, hit #1 in Britain. Follow-up No Need to Argue cemented the group�s popularity via such popular tracks as �Zombie,� �Ridiculous Thoughts,� and �Ode to My Family,� ultimately being certified 7x Platinum in the U.S. and 5x platinum in Europe (hitting # 1 in Germany, Austria, and Australia, and # 2 in the U.K.). The Cranberries had four top 20 Billboard albums, 8 hit singles, and worldwide sales of over 40 million records. The Cranberries have performed on several television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Late Show with David Letterman, and appeared on many magazine covers including Rolling Stone and Spin Magazine.

Dolores, Noel and Mike Reunite for one night in Dublin

12/29/2008  -  On January 9th, 2009 Dolores, Noel and Mike will reunite and perform at the University Philosophical Society, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. The performance will be part of Dolores' induction as an Honorary Patron at the Phil.

The Honorary Patronage is the highest award that the Society can bestow on a non-member. The earliest councils selected leading minds from Irish and British society, and made them into Honorary Patrons, charging them with protecting the Society and using their good names to ensure its continued survival.

In modern times, suggestions for Honorary Patrons are submitted at the end of every Session and approved by Council. These potential patrons are then informed of their nomination by the President and accept the award with a speech or interview. More recently, Honorary Patrons are selected from the fields of Politics, Business, Academia and Arts, and only those guests whose contribution within their sphere is considered exceptional are made into Honorary Patrons...

Dolores will join U2's The Edge, Al Pacino, Dame Helen Mirren, Salmon Rushdie, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Sir Bob Geldof and others in receiving the prestigious Honorary Patron status.

New Album!!

12/28/2008  -  Hey everyone! Yes, there will be a new Dolores album in 2009!! While all the of the details aren't quite yet ironed out, the target for release is around May. While of course this can change, depending on many things, the album is completed and the details for release should be finalized soon!

The album is produced by Dan Brodbeck (Are You Listening?) and Dolores, and is yet untitled. As soon as we know more, we'll post it right here for you!

- Team Dol

Holiday Mixtapes - Renditions of classic holiday songs

12/25/2008  -  From the Commonwealth Times -

Along with endless amounts of shopping this holiday season comes another guilty pleasure-holiday music. Every savvy musician knows there's a market in seasonal cheer, leaving consumers with a wide array of music to choose from. Consider popping in this "Holiday Mixtape" on your way home for winter break and listening to these unique variations of vintage songs.

1. 'Little Drummer Boy' (Dandy Warhols): The Dandy Warhols crank up the amps and spice up this Christmas classic with loopy, electronic guitar riffs. The low-budget 1994 video (pre-Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia fame) featuring a bizarre, middle-aged man running around in tighty whities and a Christmas hat is oddly amusing as well.

2. 'Silent Night' (Sinead O'Connor): This haunting version carried by O'Connor's powerful, yet soft vocals is nothing short of spectacular. Discrete synthesizers fill in the rest, as O'Connor's peaceful voice lulls listeners into tranquility.

3. 'The Chanukah Song' (Adam Sandler): After putting much thought as to whether or not I should include this song, I just couldn't help myself. Yes, we will hear this song approximately 10,000 times on the radio this holiday season, but it just doesn't feel without Adam Sandler naming a boatload of Jewish (and Gentile) celebrities.

4. 'Ave Maria' (Dolores O'Riordan and Luciano Pavarotti): Dolores O'Riordan is, without a doubt, my favorite rock vocalist of all time. However, I was unsure as to how she would fare next to "The Maestro" himself, Luciano Pavarotti. O'Riordan manages to bring unique, whispery vocals to this piece, making it her own while Pavarotti tones down his flawless voice a notch to not outshine O'Riordan. Opera experts might cringe at O'Riordan's lack of Latin pronunciation, but other audiences should give this rendition a shot.

5. 'Hallelujah' (Jeff Buckley): Buckley's melancholy take on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," strays from the original with impressive guitar-picking that is hard to notice below Buckley's sincere and luscious vocals. This beautiful rendition is worth a listen, if not for the last five seconds where Buckley shouts "Hallelujah" with such passion and conviction, it's hard to forget.
