2009 - TOUR PHOTOS & MAXINQUAYE DELUXE & PRODUCING JOB
You can see
some tour photos on Mike's Myspace
site. But you have to be added as a friend....
It looks like
Maxinquaye will be re-released??? Check out these photos on Flickr.
They are about making artwork for a Maxinquaye Deluxe edition, or a remixed
album, or whatever??? I couldn't find any information about this, so if
you know anything, let me know!
And last but
not least: According to Wikipedia
and other websites Tricky is producing Kerli's second album, which is to
be released next year. But I think that's a mistake, because on this
site it says that Tricky Stewart is the producer, not "our" Tricky!
Also The Dream often works with Tricky Stewart, they produced songs for
Rihanna and Maria Carey for example. Kerli is a singer from Estonia, check
out her Myspace site or
her official
site.

11. FEBRUARY
2009 - TRICKY IN PARIS
As you can
read here and here
Tricky has a sort of "atelier" in Paris' 104 since December last year!
He already recorded songs with french rapper Amadou, the "working title"
for the new album is "Can't you see us". It also says that people brought
instruments or old records that he recorded, which will all be material
for the new album. He will open his atelier to the public on Friday, the
13th (February), but as far as I heard it's sold out already!?!? He already
hosted some events in January (sorry if you missed it, but none of his
official websites has the slightest note about these big news!), for example
an "open workshop in which he gives a rare opportunity to access his
creative domain", as you can read in this blog
(on January 12). If anyone was there, maybe you can drop me a line and
tell us how it was!?

19. NOVEMBER
2008 - INTERVIEW, TOUR, CANAL+
In an interview
with Bigshot Magazine Tricky talks about his fans (for example that he
personally doesn't like "Cross to bear", but he still let it on the album
because he knew that a lot of people will like it) and the dangerous things
about ego. Check out the interview on on their website
or on You Tube.
The interview will appear in their next issue (23).
Another interesting
video is a new or at least unknown song played at the show in Antwerp,
where the musicians let the audience on stage!!! You can see it on You
Tube. It seems to happen all the time (?) during the latest concerts
(Strasbourg and
Toulouse
definitely). Looks like Tricky changed his live shows radically since the
start of the tour: longer concerts (2h30 in Reims!), more older songs like
Tricky Kid, Makes Me Wanna Die and others, and also "Ace of Spades", a
much-liked live song he already played during older tours. Lucky people,
who can catch him at the end of this tour!!!!!!
And last but
not least, for all who can receive Canal+: they will broadcast a Tricky
concert tonight at 22.20, check it out here!
6. NOVEMBER
2008 - DOUBLE ALBUM
Tricky said
in a video
interview that he already material for a new album ready! He wants
to release a double album: one album with cover songs and the other with
new songs. As possible artists he likes to cover he mentioned Rakim, Public
Enemy, London Posse, Kate Bush and Gary Numan. The interview has also more
interesting parts, so check it out on Faceculture.
