Midge Ure and Ultravox News 2011

New Ultravox album finished

15 December 2011
BILLY CURRIE lets cat out of the bag regarding album and tour (potential) dates, though yet to be confirmed:
13th DECEMBER 2011, Merry Christmas to all you people and have a great 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have finally finished the ULTRAVOX album.
We are putting a tour together for April. Can't say exactly where yet. Looking at all possibilities!
We will be performing some of our new music. Looking forward to that!
It was excellent working with Steve Lipson.
Very talented! What energy he has!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking Hell!
It is good to get out of the studio and thinking about performing live again!
The release of the album will coincide with our tour.
Everything has changed in the music scene but not that one!
I played the Violin on the Ultravox album.
It's good to work with a band again when playing the Violin. Musicians who have a feel for the instrument!
I played the Violin in Ultravox of the 70's and 80's. Enough for it to be part of the sound of the band.
I am getting on with my new music. This album will be out later in 2012.
The Viola will be prominant. It is such a soulful sound. I also have a beautifully quality instrument.
I will be informing everyone as to what is happening. Updating my site more frequently now we have the album finished so keep in touch!

New Ulravox album

From Ultravox.og.uk:
New Ultravox album nearing completion
We are delighted to announce that following Ultravox's return to the live arena in 2009/10 with their successful Return to Eden tour, that they have recently signed a deal with Universal Records. A natural progression from the reformation that was a celebration of their 30th anniversary, the band have been working on new material for an album since Autumn 2010, which is now nearing completion.

"We've had such a great time performing our old songs over the last two years that we just didn't want it to end! There's an immense satisfaction in looking across the stage and seeing those familiar faces playing the songs that we wrote as a unit. When we sat down to attempt to write some new songs we found that the ideas just kept coming and so a new album became not just inevitable, but something we really wanted to do together. Once again the whole has proved to be greater than the sum of the parts."
