Rick Springfield And Company Kickoff I Want My 80s Tour

The I Want My 80s Summer Tour kicked off at the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre Friday evening. The tour headlined by Rick Springfield also featured The Hooters, Paul Young and Tommy Tutone. The tour marked the Hooters first U.S. tour in 30 years. The long line at the merch booth was proof enough at how much a tour like this means to the fans. It was a great venue to kick the tour off on a fantastic summer night. Youngstown certainly did a great job with this venue which opened in 2019, creating a fantastic concert atmosphere.

Tommy Tutone was up first and played a 20 minute set that opened with their top-40 hit “Angel Say No” and concluded with the smash “867-5309/Jenny”. Vocalist/guitarist Tommy Heath warmed the crowd up in fine style. The lone downside was how short of a set the band played for.

Up next was English vocalist Paul Young. Young has had five top-40 hits over the years in the U.S. He used. Rick Springfield’s band as did Tommy Tutone which enabled Young to start his set the second Heath walked off at the conclusion of his set. Young also played an abbreviated 4-song, 20 minute set. The boisterous “I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” and chart-topper “Every Time You Go Away” were the standout tracks. Ditto on wishing we got a longer set from Young as well.

Then came The Hooters. For the first time in 30 years, Philadelphia’s own, The Hooters have embarked on a full scale U.S. tour. Singer/guitarist Eric Bazilian made mention and wanted to take it all in as he stood centerstage. It was good to finally get to see this band live. I had seen them once prior at Grand Slam 85′, a stadium show in Rochester, NY which was about a month following their historic performance at Live Aid. Time may have passed but these guys still sound great. As the band launched into some of their forgotten gems like “All You Zombies” and “Karla with A K” it was plainly evident that many in the crowd came to see these guys.

While the nostalgia part is all fine and dandy, the band had other ideas and came up with the great idea of releasing a new album Rocking & Swing. “Why Won’t You Call Me Back” was the track played to the crowd. The album has a ska, reggae and rock feel to it tracing back to the band’s early roots.

The band closed out their brief 45-minute set with a cover of Joan Osborne’s “One Of Us” which was written by guitarist Bazilian and also a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” which vocalist/keyboardist Rob Hyman co wrote with Lauper. Was there any doubt which song the band would end on? “And We Danced” was clearly the song everyone was waiting for and the band ended with a stellar version.

Seeing the band now as veterans as opposed to the seeing them in 85′ as youths, shows these guys still have a passion and desire to give everyone their all. So many band’s go through the motions. Bazilian and Hyman may have been the primary writers but equally important is drummer David Uosikkinen, who also has been there from the beginning. Rounding out the band were guitarist John Lilley, bassist Fran Smith Jr. and guitarist Tommy Williams. Let’s just hope this is not a one off thing and we see more touring down the road.

Headlining the whole affair was Rick Springfield. Hard to believe by month’s end that he will be 74 years old. He does not look like it or act like. His performance was the calibre of someone have his age. Simply amazing. He tore through an hour set featuring many of his hits.

Springfield appears to be a workaholic as he also released his latest album Automatic which coincidentally came out this same day as the opening night of the tour. Automatic features 20 brand new songs as it appears Springfield doesn’t know when to stop as he put it.

The big highlights of the night were the Sammy Hagar penned “I’ve Done Everything For You”, “Love Is Alright Tonight” and what Springfield concert is complete without the number one smash “Jessie’s Girl”. Springfield has had a marvelous career whether it be in music or acting. It seems everything he touches turns to gold. He shows no signs of slowing down in the near future. Hopefully we get I Want My 80s tour for 2024 as well and make it a yearly kind of thing.

Pixie Lott fears being typecast: 'I’d love to do things that are less expected'

Sign up to our free weekly newsletter for exclusive competitions, offers and theatre ticket deals

I would like to be emailed about offers, event and updates from Evening Standard. Read our privacy notice .

Pixie Lott says she’s finally making the kind of music she wants to after growing tired of just doing what other people expected of her.

The Bromley-born singer and actress first burst onto the music scene back in 2009 when she was just 18 year’s old and topped the chart’s with her debut single Mama Do.

It has incredibly been 10 years since Lott, now 33, released her self-titled last album in 2014. Since then, she been a judge on The Voice Kids, starred in the West End, got married and even become a mum.

She has also been quietly toiling away on new music for the past five years, the result of which is her fourth album Encino, named after the place where the 1970s-inspired record all came together.

Describing it as a “labour of love”, she told The Standard: “It was now or never. I was really just craving to make a full body of work that was all about the stories and [that felt] very organic, authentic and raw. I’ve been wanting to make an album like that forever.

“I took myself out to Encino and wrote with my co-writers who believed in the vision of this album as well . We lived with it, really focused on every word and just made it what we wanted it to be and now it’s finally coming out and it’s so exciting.

“I feel like I’ve gone around the houses and travelled the world trying all of these different directions that I was put in and all of these different moulds and I realised that just going back to the start, stripping it all back and focusing on why I love music, that’s the whole reason why the album was made.”

While she says she finished writing the album before giving birth to son Albert - known as “Bertie” - last October, having him has made her see the collection of songs “from a new perspective”.

She’s also keen to have the youngster involved in this chapter of her life as much as possible, saying: “I want him to just join in all of the adventures and be a part of it all. We’ll go on a tour next year so he’ll definitely be coming.”

Things are going great for her on the acting front too.

Over the summer she filmed festive movie musical, Christmas Karma. which will be released next year and also stars the likes of Eva Longoria, Hugh Bonneville, Boy George, Danny Dyer and Nitin Ganatra.

She said of that experience: “Christmas and music are two of my favourite things. It was boiling hot we had our Christmas jumpers on and were eating our ice creams in the break but it was great, absolutely loved doing it.

“I play a working class girl in the story, lean in on that East London accent a bit. It’s a beautiful story, the director was amazing. It’s based on A Christmas Carol so its got a lot of heart and soul in it but it’s really funny as well.”

She also has a “Lott” of love for Dyer, who she describes as “such a genuine, down to earth and lovely guy.”

Adding: “I loved hanging out with him on the set.”

Asked about the future, she said: “I would [like to do more stage stuff], I’m focusing more on TV and film now because I feel like I’ve ticked that box spending a whole year doing that [with Breakfast At Tiffany’s]. It really does kind of get the old acting chops going so I really would love to do another play, but for a shorter stint. So if there are any projects that are a shorter stint or if the right musical came around. I think Cabaret looks so much fun.”

She said movie-wise she would love to do “big Hollywood blockbusters” and wouldn’t rule out joining the Marvel universe saying “Why not!”

“I love new experiences that broaden you as a performer so anything that takes me into a completely different world I think would be amazing. The roles I’ve been doing recently maybe I’ve been typecast - the working class girl in the Christmas film, the same with Made In Dagenham which I did earlier on in the year at the London Palladium which was a one night thing but she was a working class girl there as well.

“I love doing that, it feels very relatable for me and my family and kind of like my roots, but I’d love to do some things that are I guess less expected.”

Pixie Lott’s new album Encino is out now.

Music and concerts | how tom petty’s friendship led to lucinda williams’ coheadlining tour with the heartbreakers’ mike campbell, williams spoke about her memoir, her stroke recovery and her tour which arrives sunday at the sound music club in del mar.

Williams and Petty had admired each others works for years, and a friendship between them, and Williams and Heartbreaker guitarist Mike Campbell, too, blossomed as the bands trekked across the United States, Williams says.

“I just always felt connected musically and spiritually with Tom Petty and his guys,” she says from her home in Nashville, a few days before embarking on a co-headlining tour with Mike Campbell & the Dirty Knobs earlier this month. “They were all really good to me.

“Tom himself went out one night and introduced me to his audience,” Williams continues. “Because he knew what it was like to open up for a big-name rock star. Nobody knew who I was yet, and so his audience would be sitting there with their arms crossed, like, you know, waiting for me to finish and for him to come out.

“And so one night, he saw that happening, so he went out, followed me out on stage,” she says. “He went up to the mic and said, ‘Now I want you to listen to this next artist, pay attention, because she’s really good.’

“It just blew my mind, but that gives you an idea of the kind of person he was.”

Eighteen years later, Williams opened three 2017 shows at the Hollywood Bowl, which after Petty’s unexpected death a week later, would be the final shows he and the Heartbreakers ever played.

“But I stayed in touch with the Petty guys, the crew and the band and everybody,” she says. “Mike Campbell always had his band, the Dirty Knobs, and he was recording some stuff on his own (for the 2024 release “Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits.”) I went over to his house in L.A. and sang on this one song.

“And I don’t know, one thing led to another, and there was just kind of bubbling about like we should do some shows together,” Williams says.

Lucinda Williams and Mike Campbell & the Dirty Knobs will perform Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Sound in Del Mar.

In an interview edited for length and clarity, Williams talks about the co-headlining tour, her 2023 album “Stories From a Rock n Roll Heart,” writing the 2023 memoir “Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You,” and more.

Q: That story about Tom Petty coming out with you is so sweet.

A: I know, it just warmed my heart.

Q: So you and Mike will do your individual sets, but some together too?

A: We’re going to collaborate a little bit, yeah. Do some of our own stuff and then do some songs together. It should be really fun. I mean, I love his playing, and he’s really good in his own right.

Q: I feel like I’ve seen him guest with you before somewhere.

A: There might have been something when we opened for them at the Hollywood Bowl. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t remember.

Q: I was thinking it might have been when you did those five album shows at the El Rey.

A: Yeah, we’d have a special guest come out each night. That sounds more probable. [Campbell joined Williams in 2007 on the night she played ‘Car Wheels’ in full.]

Q: ‘Stories From a Rock n Roll Heart’ feels like a looser rock and roll record, maybe a bit lighter than 2020’s ‘Good Souls Better Angels,’ which was kind of intense.

A: Well, I think because, like you said, some of the other albums had some pretty dark, intense songs on them, because there was dark, intense stuff going on in the country at that time. Because of a certain president. There was that, the election, and then the pandemic. A lot of stuff to come back from. That was what was permeating the air.

And I had my stroke (in 2020) and a tornado hit my house in Nashville. So we ended up with songs (on the last album) like ‘New York Comeback and ‘Rock n Roll Heart,’ like just about surviving and staying strong, and staying true to yourself.

There was a sense of, ‘OK, we got to get through this.’ And a lot of people were having to do that for different reasons. It was almost apocalyptic, you know: the tornado, my stroke, the pandemic, Tom Petty’s death. So that’s kind of what the album came out of.

Q: How did the stroke affect writing and recording the new songs. I know you had to relearn your guitar.

A: I’m still working on that. That was the main big issue, not being able to play. That affected things in the studio. The process when I go in the studio would be I would sit and play and sing, and the band would follow me. Because I have a certain way I play, which fits, especially if I’m writing the song. Like just the tempo and the feel and the vibe is coming for me.

I can sing, but somebody else is going to have to play acoustic rhythm guitar, which isn’t going to be like I’m going to do it. So that was a huge hurdle to try to get over.

Q: The song ‘Let’s Get the Band Back Together’ reminds how important being part of band has been to you, whether it was your L.A. band in the late ’80s and early ’90s or bands later in Austin and Nashville.

A: It’s very important, yeah. You know, when I first started out, I didn’t have a band. It was just me and my guitar and voice. Everything changed when I started working with a band. It’s such a totally different thing that being a solo artist.

Q: What are things you’ve gotten out of being part of a band?

A: The songwriting starts being a little different, because you have a band to present it through. You can take advantage of that. And maybe the songs might come out like rock songs more, because you do have that band, you’ve got drums and bass, which shapes everything, as opposed to the singer-songwriter vibe.

Q: You had some fun collaborators on the last album, including Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa. How’d that happen?

A:  [Longtime friend and collaborator] Jesse Malin was really instrumental in getting Bruce and his wife Patti involved. He pretty much knows every sing person in New York City, so Jesse was like, ‘Let me see if I can get ahold of him,’ and sure enough he did.

Bruce was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do something on it.’ [Springsteen and Scialfa sing on ‘New York Comeback’ and “Rock n Roll Heart’] They went into the studio where they are, in New Jersey, and put down some vocal stuff. They really cared about it and took their time doing to get the right sound and all that.

And then we got this wonderful email from Patti, describing how much they loved the songs, and nobody’s writing songs like this anymore. That was really nice to hear from her.

Q: ‘Rock n Roll Heart’ in particular sounds like a song Bruce would love.

A: So yeah, that song, one of the ideas for that was from something that Tom [husband Tom Overby] had read in an interview with Bruce Springsteen, who had described the feeling when he was a certain age and had discovered rock and roll. There was a quote from him in this interview where he said, ‘Rock and roll reached down and pulled me out,’ something like that.

So that song has the same line in it that Bruce has said. He said rock and roll reached out and kind of yanked him out of his house, and there he went. That was how it all started. And so that inspired the song.

Q: I recently read your memoir which has a nice mix of personal stories and stories about making all the music you’ve done.

A: Yeah, there’s some of that in there, after you dig through all of the me being smitten by this guy and the other guys.

Q: That’s pretty interesting too.

A: I was worried about too much of that in there.

Q: I suspect most readers enjoyed that glimpse into your private life. What was it like, though, putting all of that personal material, including your mother’s mental illness, out there in the book last year?

A: I talked about it a little bit before on stage. My book was kind of a natural progression, it felt, from the stories I would tell on stage behind a lot of the songs. And I wanted to talk about my mother’s mental illness because it’s always been taboo, in a way, to discuss mental illness. I decided I was going to start discussing it because it’s no different than saying my mother suffered from cancer or diabetes or something.

Q: You lived in Los Angeles, and I know you and Tom bought a house here at one point. Do you still have it?

A: We do. That’s where we met and we bought our house there. So it’s still in my heart. I love L.A. There still a soft spot in my heart for Los Angeles.

Q: Your writing and music have obvious Southern influences from your origins there. You’ve spent a lot of time in Southern California. How has it influenced your music?

A: It’s definitely there. There was a Southern California sound, you know, and some of the artists that came out of that, probably more in the ’70s, I guess, I always loved. Bands like the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Eagles. I love that sound, that kind of blend of country and rock. Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and all that stuff.

Q: You write in the book how much you love to tour and play live. Is it still as enjoyable as it ever was?

A: I mean, yeah, I love getting on stage and singing, especially when the songs are good and the band’s really pumping away. And the audience is listening, and all those things are in place. There’s nothing like it when it’s all working together. It’s just a great feeling.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Legendary 80s rock band release first new single in 16 years

Share this with

The Cure has dropped their lead single ahead of the release of the grungy rockers’ first album in 16 years.

The Close To You hitmakers didn’t just make a social media announcement like most people – they went about the news in a very understated way: by placing a single poster on the outside wall of the Crawley pub, where they played their first gig in 1978 .

Pictures taken and posted on social media see a shiny-looking black poster on the grey wall of The Railway pub in Sussex, which if you look closely enough is announcing the exciting news.

While the band has now confirmed the news on social media, the poster reads – in tiny writing – the name of the record: Songs of a Lost World.

Fans are being well and truly treated, as not only will they get a new album after an almost 20-year wait but the wait is almost over with the first single, Alone, finally available to stream.

The seven-minute song has been played multiple times live across the band’s 90-date world tour and now fans everywhere have the chance to listen.

Frontman Robert Smith said in a statement: ‘It’s the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded I knew it was the opening song, and I felt the whole album come into focus.’

He admitted that he struggled to find the ‘right opening line for the right opening song for a while’.

He added: ‘[I was] working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always in the back of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line should be…’

After they finished recording he recalled the Ernest Downson poem Dregs and ‘that was the moment when I knew the song – and the album – were real.’

The opening line aptly echoes the poem, going: ‘This is the end of every song that we sing / The fire burned out to ash’.

There has been huge praise for the single from critics and fans alike, with The Guardian calling it ‘majestically wreathed in misery and despair’.

Over on Reddit, @jeanclausebrowncloud wrote: ‘This is really good, classic cure.’

Another user @funbee1638 shared: ‘The 16 years of wanting new Cure music just melted away. Roberts voice as beautiful and emotive as ever. This track brought me to tears.

‘My favorite band since the ’80s. Although they haven’t released an album in so long, they’ve never left my rotation.’

As for when the full album is dropping, using Roman numerals the band revealed the new album will be released on November 1.

Fans are – needless to say – absolutely buzzing.

‘NEW THE CURE ALBUM!!!! AFTER 16 YEARS!!!!!!’ hyped fan Manon, as X user @Swags__123 wrote: ‘album of the century being released.’

@germoses said, ‘Oh my God, it’s happening!’ while @rabbitechoes added: ‘WE’RE SO BACK.’

Manchester’s night time economy advisor Sacha Lord took to social media complimenting the band’s cool announcement.

He said: ‘@thecure have announced the release date of their first album in 16 years, by placing a single poster outside the pub they played their first gig in 1978. The Railway, Crawley, Sussex. Now that’s cool….and two fingers up to the usual corporate hype.’

Personalising the experience, the band also sent postcards out to fans of the poster, inviting them to be part of the hype.

They are still keeping fans guessing on some aspects of the comeback though. On September 19, the Cure shared a teaser clip featuring a projection of a stone head – which could be the new album artwork – in and around Blackpool.

Teasing fans, the video also features various videos of Blackpool Tower and signs, with co-ordinates in the band’s post also leading to the famous landmark.

This – as well as Blackpool’s significance in being the place frontman Robert Smith was born before moving to Crawley – makes fans think they are planning a surprise gig in the Lancashire seaside town.

Billboards were also spotted in Paris, Rome and New York City showing the album title and their artwork.

To mystery continues as in order to access their secretive website, fans of the band have to enter the Roman numerals of the 2024 record’s release date, which are I. XI. MMXXIV.

This comes after the band’s long-time keyboardist Roger O’Donnell earlier this month revealed he was diagnosed with a ‘very rare and aggressive form’ of blood  cancer  a year ago.

The 68-year-old shared he was diagnosed with the disease in September last year, after ignoring symptoms.

Roger pulled out of the band’s Latin America tour due to ‘health reasons’ last November.

In a social media statement, the band said:  ‘We are sure you will join with us in wishing him the speediest of recoveries.’

A previous drummer for the band, Andy Anderson, died aged 68 in 2019 after being diagnosed with cancer.

The Cure, known for their gothic, post-punk style and ever-changing line up save their front man Robert, formed in 1978.

They enjoyed an impressive run of eleven consecutive top 20 albums between 1980 and 2004, and their last release was in 2008 with 4:13 Dream.

The Lovecats hitmakers also notched 21 top 40 singles between 1980 and 1996, reaching the top 10 on four occasions.

Their biggest tracks are Friday, I’m In Love, Boys Don’t Cry, Close To You, and Lovecats.

In 2019, the members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
