Jake Bugg's wish

Jake Bugg said it in the NME, he really wants to support the Arctic Monkeys, after being support of Noel Gallagher's band and also The Stone Roses (and the Killers) our young star has revealed that.

Indeed, he said "I'd like to support the Arctic monkeys, that would be cool" but he told also his intention to have his own shows and not just to be a support !! He also told about his excitment concerning the release of his first album "Jake Bugg".

On the article you could find also his tour dates :D

J.B in The Independant's guide of best new bands !

"Jake Bugg

Claim to fame The 18-year-old has already supported the Stone Roses. Enough said.

Background Looks like a younger Noel Gallagher and has been hailed as the new working-class hero of rock'n'roll. You can't speak to many in the music industry without hearing about the teenager from Nottingham. He has appeared on Later with Jools Holland, supporting his Oasis lookalike and the Killers, and his music has been plucked for the BBC's Olympic coverage. Clearly, somebody, somewhere, has been very impressed. Signed to Mercury, and with an album out next month, this youngster with an old-fashioned taste in music can do little wrong, it seems."

Reeperbahn-Festival !

I've just read an article from Die Welt (a German newspaper) which deals with Jake Bugg.
The folk singer is consider as the discovery of the festival. The article underlines the fact that he sounds like a young Bob Dylan, playing and singing with an impressive nonchalance.  Finally, it is said that Billy Brag, Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher see him as the future of the British Folk/Rock and, underlines the website, they are quite right.

The Killers and Jake Bugg !

This is an extract from the Guardian's website about the concert of both The Killers and Jake Bugg, his performance are appreciated :)


"With his dark hair cut just so, and his anorak on indoors, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jake Bugg recalls the young Liam Gallagher. But the hype surrounding this Nottingham teenager tilts towards the idea of Bugg as a young Noel. He writes chippy, catchy songs about masculine concerns, many of them drawn from the 60s. Two Fingers is a particularly persuasive cut from his forthcoming debut album. "I drink to remember, I smoke to forget" Bugg sings, before his bassist and drummer break into a jangly chorus that yearns for escape from the pleasures of the verses. Unsurprisingly, Noel has declared himself a fan. So Bugg is off on tour with Gallagher's High Flying Birds in Europe next month, and on to the States after that.
He is going to love America. Listening to him open for the Killers at the iTunes festival, he isn't the Noel G mini-me that his celebrity link-up suggests. Bugg is a much older soul. His voice may be reedy but it's powerful. Like the generation of Liverpool bands of 15 years ago – the Coral, the Zutons, and more recently, Miles Kane – Bugg is a young man with preternaturally antediluvian tastes. In the video for his single Lightning Bolt, released last May, he's in a record shop, leafing through the country vinyl. It ends his set tonight on a rattly high."
