Interesting to read that Mike hopes to be promoting MK's new album NEXT year!



Even as he looks forward to his third world tour with former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler's current, folk-influenced band

[tunnel85]

You're right : interesting ... 
He probably knows more than he can say.
thanks for the link 

[jbaent]

hmmm next year, so it that means we can save our money till 2013 

[dmg]

So that's three pieces of bad news then!

[tunnel85]

Next year means 2013 ... I didn't realize that 
Anyway, it would give more time to save money and think bigger.

 

[Pyroaction]

Or maybe the paper was written in late 2011, so next year is THIS year.

I wish I hadn't read this thread!

exactly!!

[Love Expresso]

Yeah, I must say I am a little bit disappointed, too. I thought it would be released a little earlier...

The idea comes up again I heard from someone in October, that MK needs so long because of "lack of inspiration"...
This album seems to take some doing... The hope I have is the pure quality of Haul Away and Privateering, that we are in for something really great...

I'd bet the reason for this delay is the ongoing development of a soundtrack. The soundtrack will have a strict completion deadline while the album hasn't. It's a pity as I was so much hoping for a new MK album in 2012.

[Neville Sherman]

Nah - there is no way Mr K is going to spend the bulk of 2012 having mixed the new album in the early part of the year twiddling his thumbs! I am sure there is news to come far earlier than 2013 and I think the album will be out earlier than the Autumn. Of course, there may be other bits and bobs going on that we know nothing about! Stay positive everyone!

I like that.... but I would prefer.....
Album release MAY 2012 ( money enough to get an album)
Promos October/November 2012 or early 2013 ( time to save money)
Tour April, May, June, July 2013( time to save money)

Well, the september 2012 release / october-november 2012 promo / spring-summer 2013 tour combo looks like the usual MK schedule, so, I guess that would be what will happen.

My hope was that the album could had been released in early spring 2012 followed by a tour staring at late spring and during summer 2012, but who knows...

There are also rumours about Dylan touring the US with MK too, I know I

[tunnel85]

As for myself, I stay very positive.
I've refilled my batteries during the Dylan tour. That tour was the best thing to happen at the best moment.
I have enough material to spend some time on.
Next step is to refill the pockets.  

Also I don't think it's the best moment to tell wife and kids there's a tour again and you know I would like to do as many shows as possible.  
Not sure it would work.  

Anyway there will be a Dylan show somewhere in 2012. It should be South of France and Spain.
It would be a good idea to try a show in Spain and feel the security style. Could be helpful for next tour's strategy
