“Wake Up And Smell The Coffee” is available on vinyl today and earlier in the morning Cranberries Italia shared on their socials some of the first great photos. Special thanks to them!

As you can see, the edition is pretty basic inside, just one transparent vinyl and the inner sleeve with lyrics and art and that’s pretty much it. No extra bonus, no extra pictures, no double vinyl, no gatefold. So don’t expect too much, this is not an anniversary edition, just the album released for the first time on vinyl.

Island/UMe is releasing “Everybody Else…..” in Dolby ATMOS

March 3, 2023  |  Comments Off on Island/UMe is releasing “Everybody Else…..” in Dolby ATMOS  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” Island/UMe is releasing the album in Dolby ATMOS.

Fergal says, “The Atmos remixes are a whole different listening experience for us. It feels more like being onstage at a concert, being surrounded by the band. There are certain intricate parts that subtly pop out every now and then, causing you to feel more immersed in the songs”

No need to own a Dolby ATMOS equipment like home cinema or else to experience it (even if that’s the best option), it still works with headphones or any other stereo equipments, delivering a more immersive sound anyway.

Listen to this brand new 30th Anniversary mix immediately and exclusively on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Tidal. All 3 links Here.

UPDATE

Thanks to @CindaUy on Twitter for the screen shot (looks like Apple Music on iPhone) where you can see the new Dolby ATMOS logo.

VIDEO: “Zombie” – Lisboa – 11 April 2002

January 16, 2023  |  1 Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

A rare and previously unpublished video recorded in Portugal in Lisboa on 11 April 2002 surfaced on YouTube 2 days ago. Thanks to user Mónica Moreira for this gem.

A bootleg video of this show recorded from the audience is already well known to the fans.

This time the video is from a professional camera on tripod, probably recorded from the mixing desk as it often is the case for TV crews generally authorized to record the first 2 or 3 songs of a show. It seems this footage was never broadcast anywhere (?)

“Zombie” being the second song of the set, there is a big chance that the first song (Wake Up And Smell The Coffee) was recorded as well.

The Puro gave their first ever concert yesterday in São Paulo at Rockambole opening for the band Leela. The Puro playing at 21:30 and Leela at 22:30

This was the only concert planned in Brazil for now. Noel Hogan was on acoustic guitar, Mell Peck on vocals (and sometimes on guitar as well) and a third guy named Binho on keyboards and accordion (!!)

A more or less 55-min show originally planned with 9 songs including a new one (The Cure) and 2 Cranberries covers (Shattered, Zombie) but in fact 10 songs were played due to a real encore not appearing on the setlist sheet. If anyone knows which song was added, please let us know!
EDIT: the 10th song was “Além Dos Meus Olhos”

Attendance was possibly 100-150 people in the venue. Not that bad for a first!

The Puro published 2 photos of the show on their socials (Instagram, Facebook)

Many photos and videos appeared on socials posted by the fans.
