Release date in the US?

[ecascio2010]

Anyone know when Rock.Dust.Light.Star is coming out in the US?

[Giba7]

On Amazon.com the release date (I assume as U.S.) says November 9th.
I don't know if the stores will have it on 11/9.

Being in the states, I've heard that it wo't even be released until 2011... so I just ordered from Universal Music in the UK.

A little pricey, but Universal Music had my shipment to me in record time!

BestBuy and Amazon both stated 11/9, but when you look at the albums on the site for purchase, each states 'Import'.
Thanks for the info about possible US release date delayed until 2011. Looks like I'll be paying the import price. I'm going to have to look at the releases from all the countries to see which has the best extras.

Jam on!

[Giba7]

Any news on the U.S. release date?

[barmybrit13]

Please guys any news yet?

[ErinUSA]

It is supposed to be sometime in 2011...still not sure as to the exact date. I will try to find out.

[Giba7]

For Real? A U.S. release date?
I'll believe it when it happens.

It seems weird that they would wait several months of releasing RDLS to the US. Hmm are they planning something special for us, some bonus tracks, special artwork?? Aww who am I kidding.

They did wait for TWM. But it seems longer now.

We can hope!

As long as it's a definite... Then I'll wait. I don't like to buy from offline :/

Wait? I would never wait, unless I had to.
Buy the album. But you'll have to wait for a concert.

[myasia]

Yes that's true, but I don't like to add fuel to the fire if I have no way of controlling it . I'll be patient for a bit longer then I guess I'll have to bite the bullet for say and buy offline. Even then I'll still have to wait for something

[Giba7]

The last gig date so far I believe is in July.
And I believe Derrick said via video (FB) they were touring all year.

But if they were to hit the U.S. this fall, wouldn't they release it by now?
And if they do, I hope they have appearances set up -American Idol, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, SNL...

[funkyette]

i still remain hopeful they will tour the US
they called it a world tour, so its likely they will tour nations or areas with a high percentage of fans (including US )
as for releasing US, is it really necessary to release the album in order to tour???..even though probably most american fans already bought the album from overseas...it's interesting that they released RDLS in canada and south america but not the US...i guess they are still working on an agreement or something like that
the band and record company know they will do successfully with touring in the major US cities..for now i will just continue to remain positive and hope to hear some good news soon

[Giba7]

Really? It's released in Canada?
Yes I think the release has to happen to tour, unless they only hit 1 or 2 places. what do I know? nothing

And they do now have 5 shows in October (Europe) and 1 in November.
I figure they'll probably only add a few shows at most.

U.S. -I'd say, not gonna happen.
Sorry -I can't travel to Europe or South America. It's just too much for a concert!
If they don't come to U.S. or Ontario, I'll probably never see them.

They were the one band I couldn't wait for their tour in '97. I was probably the first caller to buy tickets when they went on sale. A month later they canceled that show. Very disappointed.

what? where did you find that info? i just found out the latest tour news that they will go to spain in august...i am really hoping they would stop by the US in the fall
if its just mostly touring euro nations then they should of called it the european tour instead of world...i can not understand why they wouldn't come to north america, they came a few years ago for dynamite why not RDLS (i know they changed record labels but that doesn't mean north american fans should be push aside)

[Giba7]

Oh, haha!
Those dates were from 2010! I just checked under "Shows"!

[funkyette]

well you are sought of right since they might go back to paris in november

hope they haven't forgotten about the north american fans though

[barmybrit13]

i feel neglected =(

[Tiffinypie]

i feel neglected =(

Yep I feel that way too.
I really think that this tour is for where the demand is high. European / Asia and Latin American countries. Or their record label is cheap, they can't send them everywhere like $ony did. So far there are no plans to release RDLS to the States or a tour planned. I don't think that this happened for Dynamite release. This does seem strange. I bet that there will still be no announcements for the US by the time November get here.

[Giba7]

It's done.

[sinheart]

The mountain may not be coming to Mohammed, so Mohammed (Cynthia) is going to the mountain (Antwerp). Are they not worth it??? If they come to the US, then bonus!

[Giba7]

Have fun Sinheart! Go to the mountain!

France would be a great visit. Far enough to still plan.
But for me, I figure it'd be a minimum of a 3-day travel, and some tourism would be part.
The cost would have to be at least $2000 (per person) including airfare.
And I have other responsibilities here.

Can't justify it at this point in my life, even for Jamiroquai.
But maybe in another 5 years.
