Hi Brendan4!
Here's a copy of John's Blog regarding the Metamatic Tour. These are the shows where he'll be performing the whole album..
John Foxx's pioneering album Metamatic was described as 'visionary' by the Klaxons earlier this year and this will be a unique chance to hear all of it performed live, including the singles 'Underpass' and 'Burning Car' - the latter one of several single and B-side releases including in the show. Describing electronic music's origins as 'late 20th Century urban blues', Foxx has an ongoing and passionate 30 year relationship with drum machines and analogue synthesizers and he's putting together a stark, retro-future set for these shows.
This tour celebrates the release of a double-CD version of Metamatic (the original came out in 1980) on September 3, 2007, featuring some previously unreleased material. These dates also mean that John Foxx will perform cult classics such as '030', 'Tidal Wave', 'Mr No', 'A New Kind Of Man', 'Film One' and 'Blurred Girl' for the first (and possibly last) time in his career as he continues to move on into film-making, photography, art, graphics and spoken word extracts from his on-going book, The Quiet Man.
