CRANBERRIES 2009 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED!
9/23/2009 - THE CRANBERRIES TO TOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS 19-Date Tour presented by Guesstimation; the party game where the closest guess wins.
September 23rd, 2009 - New York, New York - Dolores ORiordan and the original members of The Cranberries will reform for the first time in nearly seven years for a live tour. Ive decided to reunite with my former band members in The Cranberries and we will be writing new songs and performing tracks off my new album as well as our greatest hits during the shows. Id love to see you out there. ORiordan stated. Guitarist and co-songwriter Noel Hogan offered Over the last few years, each member of the band has had time to work on different projects and learn so much from their experience. Now the time is right for The Cranberries to bring all of this together and move forward. The 19-date tour is set to begin in Baltimore, MD on November 12th and is presented by Guesstimation; the party game where the closest guess wins.
In January, ORiordan played a set at Dublins Trinity College with band members and brothers Noel and Mike Hogan to commemorate her being made an Honorary Patron of Trinitys Philosophical Society. The performance was the first time the band members had seen each other since 2003. Never officially broken up, the band instead has been on hiatus, and being in the same room and playing music together for the first time made them realize how much they had missed each other.
Dolores ORiordan has also released her solo album, No Baggage, via Zoe/Rounder Records in the U.S. and Canada and via Cooking Vinyl for the rest of the world.. With No Baggage, ORiordans unforgettable, distinguished voice is back and better than ever. She co-produced and wrote all of the tracks on the album with Ontario- based Dan Brodbeck, resulting in a bright, clean sound that finds the singers astoundingly emotive voice front and center, be it on the gorgeous piano ballad Lunatic, the forthright, rocking track Be Careful, or the infectious, driving lead single, The Journey.
I probably havent worn my heart on my sleeve like this since the second Cranberries album (1994s No Need To Argue), she says. Its at times very confessional and dealing with my true emotions. Everyone, through their experiences or their background, has had terrible moments where they think they cant handle it. With this record Im trying to show that, no matter how bad things may seem, its not really that bad in the big picture. says ORiordan.
Guesstimation, distributed by Discovery Bay Games, is unlike traditional trivia games, you dont have to know the exact answer to win the game. During each round, a question is read and everyone writes down their answer. For example, how many women go into labor on the New York City subway each year? After everyone has made their guess, the answer is revealed and the closest guess wins the round (Answer: 80). Guesstimation (2+ players, ages 8+) is available at Barnes & Noble Booksellers and Toys R Us stores nationwide and online at Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com) and toysrus.com
Led by Linger, The Cranberries debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, hit #1 in Britain. Follow-up No Need to Argue cemented the groups popularity via such popular tracks as Zombie, Ridiculous Thoughts, and Ode to My Family, ultimately being certified 7x Platinum in the U.S. and 5x platinum in Europe (hitting # 1 in Germany, Austria, and Australia, and # 2 in the U.K.). The Cranberries had four top 20 Billboard albums, 8 hit singles, and worldwide sales of over 40 million records. The Cranberries have performed on several television shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Late Show with David Letterman, and appeared on many magazine covers including Rolling Stone and Spin Magazine.
