Liam Courts big time in US with Moz
HAVING being handpicked by Morrissey to support him on his tour of the US, I hear Middleton band The Courteeners have been taking the States by storm.
Following their own sold-out headline show at New York’s Mercury Lounge, the band have been based in the Big Apple for the last fortnight, opening for Moz at three venues – the Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and a rather special night at the legendary Carnegie Hall.
Lead singer Liam Fray says: “To be on the same bill as Morrissey anywhere is fantastic, but to know that he’s handpicked you to to play with him at Carnegie Hall is something else.”
With typical Manc swagger he adds: “It’s the best venue in the world, with the two best singers in the world under one roof!”
The band will support Morrissey on the rest of his US tour including a spot on the same bill as Paul McCartney at the Coachella festival next month.
