Texas

Texas

Texas will be releasing a new Album later in 2005, it might be called "Red Book", it was almost given another name before this was chosen. Will we get a chance to see doing a major tour? Possibly during spring 2006.


The tracks on the album are as follows:

01 036
02 Getaway - Now playing in background, or it will when it loads.
03 Can't Resist
04 What About Us (Dallas)
05 Cry
06 Sleep
07 Get Down Tonight
08 Nevermind
09 Bad Weather
10 Master Thief
11 Just Holding On
12 Dream

The first single released will be "Getaway" which is due out in the first week of August. the next single will be "What About Us (Dallas)" which should be released around the same time as the album. Getaway will load and play in background.


Texas are brilliant live, I've seen them three times.  They are probably better live than on CD, Sharleens voice gets better everytime I here it. I think they are good on CD but the feeling of the music bouncing off your body has to be experienced.

The second time I was lucky enough to see them was the first of the greatest hits tour and was brilliant. They are probably the best live band at this time in the UK. Sharleen was at ease with the audience all night and was interacting like never before, it may be that experience is paying off. One of the best moments was probably when Sharleen got a heckler out of the audience and had him eating out of her hand. The heckler was asking her to get her t*** out, her reply was that she didn't have any. The lad was called onto the stage and couldn't get up quick enough, he was on the stage for what seemed like 5 minutes. This only helped to create a brilliant atmosphere that was evident from the first minute to the last. Semisonic were supporting Texas for the first part of the tour and were getting the crowd going well before the main act. I always thought the support act was supposed to get the crowd going, this doesn't always happen though.
To cut a long story short here are my marks out of 10 for the night:

Semisonic

Interacting with crowd 8/10
Music 8/10
Ratio of good songs 6/10

Texas

Interacting with crowd 10/10
Music 10/10
Ratio of good songs 10/10

The reviews of the concert have all been good and some think the concert was one of the best ever at the Arena, this may be true but it wasn't quite as good as the last Lighthouse Family concert. I would say that the difference between the 2 is too close to call, would I recommend going to see Texas? The answer is easy, I had a ticket for the next concert as soon as they were announced, if I didn't have tickets I would have been straight on the phone to book up. If you are thinking of going to see Texas don't wait to get tickets, just book them.

The third time I saw Texas was the last of the Greatest Hits tour, they were even better than earlier in the tour and this does go down as the best concert I've been to. A few things were the same as the first, again a heckler was taken on stage. Sharleen was on top form again and played the crowd brilliantly, if any group ever wanted to know how to make a concert they should go and see these. The support changed and this time is was reef, I didn't think they were as good as Semisonic but other people thought they were.

Texas

Interacting with crowd 11/10
Music 11/10
Ratio of good songs 11/10

The only way to sum up the night is BRILLIANT

E-mail me: If you have any Texas ring tones for any make of mobile phone. Let me know how I can improve this site, do I need to add something or take something out?
Texas:This is the official site and so far it's been excellent and up-dated regularly. This is the way good sites should be run, after all isn't the Internet supposed to be able to deliver news the minute it happens.
