What's Your Problem Artwork

Just a reminder that What's Your Problem is released on September 8th 2008. The artwork for the single is a still from the video, and is the first Zutons single to feature a photo as its artwork since the debut Devil's Deal!

You Can Do Anything - Japanese Release Out Now

Last week the Japanese edition of You Can Do Anything was released. In addition to the regular tracks, it features the UK iTunes bonus track 'Pull The Plug' along with Always Right Behing You b side 'You've Got To Move'. It's a great opportunity to get the fantastic 'Pull The Plug' on CD, and Japanese releases make great collectors items for fans of The Zutons, as they come with the traditional 'obi strip' and an extra Japanese booklet.

If you are interested in picking up a copy, I recommend CD Japan (I've purchased all my previous Zutons Japanese releases from there!) which are selling it for just over £11 (plus postage).

Get the Japanese 'You Can Do Anything' here.

Setlist + Review of Q Hospital Club gig

As mentioned in the photos post, the gig last night was a full band acoustic gig (Zuton Fever had a bit of electric guitar from Paul, but other than that Dave & Paul played acoustic for the entire set). The setlist was:

Zuton Fever
What's Your Problem
Railroad
Put A Little Aside
You'll Never Catch Me Alone
You Will You Won't
Harder & Harder
Dirty Rat
Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?

Zuton Fever was played in the style of the acoustic version they released on the Pressure Point single, but with a small bit of the Zutonkhamuun riff and jam added at the end!

It was great to hear Railroad in full as I don't think they've done it since the Who Killed tours. I guess You'll Never Catch Me Alone must be a new song - unless anyone knows it to be a cover?

The new tunes worked very well in an acoustic format. Notable by their absence were Valerie & Always Right Behind You - maybe 'Always' doesn't work well acoustically, but Valerie certainly does so maybe they fancied a break from their most popular songs for this gig.

The venue was a small TV studio in the basement of the Hospital Club in Covent Garden (it's the place the 'From The Basement' TV show is shot), which held around 2-300 people.

Was anyone else there? What did you think?

Highlights from the gig are due to be broadcast on Q Radio at some point. I'll post on the site when I find out more details about this.

Photos from Q Hospital Club gig

Last night The Zutons played a gig for the monthly Q Magazine Hospital Club. It was a rare full-band acoustic gig. Below are a selection of photos I took at the gig. I'll post the setlist and a review later today.
