LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - March 12, 2009) - Erasure's world-conquering anthems of love,
lust, and longing have made it one of the most beloved and enduring success
stories in modern British pop music history. After more than two decades,
Andy Bell and Vince Clarke (founding member of Depeche Mode and Yaz) have
sold more than 15 million albums around the globe, proving themselves
masters of every kind of song from disco symphonies to unplugged ballads.
And in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday, April 11, 2009 twenty
thousand men from around the globe will gather poolside at the Wyndham
Hotel as Bell spins his favorite songs as guest DJ for Jeffrey Sanker's
White Party -- now celebrating 20 years. www.jeffreysanker.com
Bell will DJ from 3 to 4pm, spinning classics from his band Erasure, plus
the hottest electro artists and mixes from yesterday and today. He has been
flashing his skills at turntables around the world since his sold-out DJ
tour to support his solo album, "Electric Blue" in 2005. He is currently
recording his second solo effort in London for release later this year.
Rhino shows "a little respect" to Erasure with a 4-disc boxed set
(3-CD/1-DVD) that includes all of the band's singles (remastered in 2009)
on 2 discs, a career-spanning collection of live performances on a third
CD, and a DVD of the group's best BBC appearances. TOTAL POP! - DELUXE BOX
will be available April 7 from Rhino Records at all retail outlets,
including www.rhino.com, for a suggested list price of $54.98. The box set
will also be available for purchase at the FYE booth inside the Wyndham
Hotel in Palm Springs during White Party weekend. Andy Bell will make a
special appearance at the booth directly after his DJ set to greet fans.
On April 9, two days before his White Party set, Bell will DJ a special
in-store event at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, CA. He will sign copies of the
new boxed set purchased at Amoeba (plus one additional Andy Bell or Erasure
item per fan) after his set. A pair of tickets to White Party 2009 will be
given out during Andy's DJ set at Amoeba.
Also on April 7, Rhino will release "Pop! Remixed" as a digital-only
release for $9.99. "Pop! Remixed" features remixes from Vince Clarke, Mark
Picchiotti, Manhattan Clique, Komputer, Sweden's Sound Factory, and a mix
of "Drama!" by Andy Bell and JC. It will be available exclusively at
Masterbeat.com (the official music sponsor of White Party 2009) for the
first 30 days of release.
Now planned annually on the second week in April, White Party Palm Springs
continues its 20-year tradition, bringing the picturesque desert oasis
alive with music and entertainment from around the world. This year's
special guest headliner Lady Gaga will invade the White Party stage just
after midnight.
