Since it's release, Garbage has been touring nonstop around
the world. Fans and critics have been praising the bands return from a
seven-year hiatus. "Temptress, lover, sufferer, scrapper - those have been
Ms. Manson's personae since Garbage started in 1995. In other eras she might
have been a pop torch singer, a soul belter or a new-wave frontwoman: a Shirley
Bassey, a Dusty Springfield, a Chrissie Hynde. There's a little of each of them
in her voice," said a recent live review from The New York Times. It
went on to say "While pop has gone happily electronic, Garbage did the
opposite onstage, where it was an unabashed hard-rock band. There were some
electronic drumbeats mixed in, but Mr. Vig steamrollered over them with live
muscle. The rest of the band - Duke Erikson and Steve Marker on guitars and, on
this tour, Eric Avery on bass - plowed into the riffs." SPIN
magazine declared, "Not Your Kind of People picks up from where the
alt-'90s brooders left off. Sleaze. Gloom. Glam. Noise. Songs about beloved freaks
and lying lovers. Grungy, trip-hop-addled pop designed to stoke the last dance
at the end of days," and Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed
"Manson and her three bandmates...create an unstable world where guitars
and drums are altered and distorted until they're otherworldly."
ABOUT GARBAGE
Garbage is Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and
Butch Vig. After forming in Madison, WI, Garbage released their
self-titled debut album in 1995 and rode a wave of visually arresting, female-fronted
alternative rock bands. The album spawned the hit singles "Stupid
Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" and was certified double
platinum in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The
band won the Breakthrough Artist Award at the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards, and
was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy® Award. Their second album,
Version 2.0, was released in 1998 and topped the charts in the United
Kingdom. It was nominated for two Grammy Awards including Album of the Year
and Best Rock Album. 2001's Beautiful Garbage was named one of Rolling
Stone Magazine's Top 10 Albums Of The Year. In 2005, Garbage released
Bleed Like Me, earning the band its highest chart position with a No. 4 on the
Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. In 2007, the band released a retrospective
collection called Absolute Garbage. Garbage has sold over 12 million albums
worldwide. They have performed in over thirty-five countries and will tour
extensively worldwide in support of this new release.
