30 Sept : Vote For Erasure / The EIS Website

LogoVoting is currently taking place for the BT Digital Music Awards 2005, and there is a "People's Choice Award" for the Best Music Website.

It would be great if you could support the EIS and vote for the EIS website - just follow this link.

There is also an "Artist Of The Year" award, and Erasure can be voted for here. For some reason they are listed twice on the voting page - hopefully that will get sorted.

23 Sept : The Erasure Show DVD - Artwork

ArtworkThe UK release date of the The Erasure Show - Live in Cologne DVD has been confirmed as 31st October 2005. The artwork is shown below.

A North American release "is likely" - but there are no further details yet.

12 Sept : The Erasure Show - Live in Cologne DVD

Details for the eagerly anticipated "The Erasure Show - Live in Cologne" DVD can now be exclusively revealed!

With 25 songs from this years 'Erasure Show' performance (filmed in Cologne), 3 from the 2003 'The Other Tour' performance (filmed in Copenhagen) plus the addition of bonus material, this DVD is certainly a well rounded package.

For the track listing of this DVD, visit the 'releases' section.

The release date of this DVD is still to be confirmed.

ArtworkAndy Bell's forthcoming solo album 'Electric Blue' will be released on two formats, CD and vinyl.

12 Sept : EIS Gallery Updated

A selection of photos of Andy DJing at the Redstar event last Friday have been added to the EIS Gallery.

8 Sept : UK & Ireland Erasure Postal Database

Mute UK's marketing department send out slipcases to promote forthcoming releases of Erasure singles to those addresses which are held on the Erasure postal database. This database is comprised of the information that is sent in from returned reply cards, addresses submitted via the EIS etc.

As you can imagine, after several years the information contained within this database has gotten stale, therefore it is being wiped and recreated.

If you are resident within the UK or Ireland and wish to continue to receive whatever promotional items that Mute send out, it is important that you add you details to this new database ASAP (there is the possibility of a slipcase being produced for the forthcoming Erasure Show DVD).

You may enter you address details here.

8 Sept : EIS Web Updates

There have been several updates to the EIS website over the past few days:

Photo Gallery
A selection of pictures from the recent BBC Radio 2 Blackpool event has been added to the fan gallery, as well as additional photos from 'The Erasure Show'.

Live Appearances
The 'Tour' section has been replaced with a new section entitled 'Live' which lists the forthcoming live appearances by Andy.

Ear To The Ground
This new section 'Ear To The Ground' is a new section that summarises all currently known information regarding future Erasure releases / tours that the band have revealed in various interviews etc.

It should be pointed out that just because something is listed on this page doesn't imply that it is actually going to happen (unless otherwise noted) - projects / ideas / plans change all the time.
