They did it back in December in Glasgow and they're doing it again this year in London. Oh, how we love Idlewild. The band will play two albums a night across three consecutive days in May at the Camden Dingwalls so if you have any taste in alternative music then beg, steal or borrow yourself a ticket as soon as possible.

You may well have guessed that I love Idlewild. The Scottish rockers have been around for almost as many years as I have, and have just announced details of their seventh studio album to be released next summer hopefully. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Bloc Party, Radiohead and others, they're doing something a [...]

Now they’ve announced a five night retrospective of their career to date, playing five consecutive nights at the legendary Glasgow venue, King Tuts.250 tickets per night are priced £15 or you can buy [...]

Traversing the Scottish-rock scene for a good decade now, Idlewild are a band that seem to have noticeably deteriorated over time. Like many aging collectives, their creative spirit seems to have slowly faded away with years worth of material under their belts and god knows how many tours after every release.

Not quite hardcore. Those familiar w/ Idlewild (like I) need to check out what I can only imagine is one of their first releases - Hope Is Important is unlike anything else I've heard from this Scotish, almost brit-pop outfit. Half of the songs are melodic but a little rough around the edges. The other half are rough around the edges, raw and choatic. Closer in sound to Minor Threat than REM...

"We first played here about 10 years ago… and it's just as hot as last time!" commented Idlewild's Roddy Woomble mid-way through their sell-out set at Bristol's Fleece. Hot wasn't the word - crammed to the rafters, the tiny ancient pub has obviously seen some hot 'n' sweaty ones, but I'd imagine last night was [...]~~

Idlewild seem to have been inspired by Trent Reznor and co. who pioneered a new direct-to-fan release structure earlier this year. The Scottish indie-legends will be entering the studio early in 2009 and plan a conventional album release in the summer but, for a limited time, they would like to offer their fans a chance to be involved from the beginning.
