Stone Roses Lemon Logos Appear In Manchestet Streets And Record Shops

The Stone Roses iconic lemon logos have appeared in Manchester record shops and streets today, fans are speculating that the band could release a new single this week.

Last weekend, a fan named Lewis Jones, managed to grab Mani for a quick snap and quizzed him about new music, and Mani told him that a single would be out "next week" (May 9-13), and to "stay tuned to the radio", which generated internet rumours about things they may - or may not - be doing.

It is more than 20 years since the Stone Roses released their last studio album, Second Coming, in 1994, the follow-up to their eponymous 1989 debut.

The band haven't made an official announcement yet. However, in March, frontman Ian Brown confirmed to NME that the group were recording new material.

We'll keep you posted.

The tickets are also sold out for the UK cinemas who are taking part in the nationwide broadcast, which has led to Picturehouse putting on additional screens. 

Speaking about the news Meadows says: "I'd love to think the tickets selling out so quick was down to the fan base I've built up over the last 15-20 years, but I know it's them lot that everyone's really coming to see. Bald Chunkers like me don't sell out stadiums, but if we've got a Guinness World Record I would deffo take the credit."

In a recent interview about the film, the director said: "It's not very often one of your heroes asks you to make a documentary about your all time favourite band, that are getting back together after twenty years." He was not only given unprecedented access to the band for almost a year, but he also followed fans of the Stone Roses around the world, to understand the influence that the band's music has on them.

The film will debut for the first time on Thursday 30 May and have a general release on 5 June. You can watch the trailer here.

'The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone' Documentary To Be Released In June

The Stone Roses documentary 'Made Of Stone' will open in British cinemas on Wednesday 5 June following a premiere in the group's hometown on Thursday 30 May. 

The film was made by This Is England director Shane Meadows and goes behind the scenes on the Manchester band's 2012 reunion, from the early stages to their celebratory hometown gigs at Heaton Park. 

The event will be satellite-linked to 100 cinemas as part of nationwide preview screenings running concurrently with the premiere launch, with tickets for both the host venue and the satellite-linked cinemas made available to the public.

A premiere for the film, with all members of the band in attendance, will take place in Manchester on May 30 with a number of fans who attended last year's Warrington Parr Hall and Heaton Park gigs who are featured in the film receiving tickets to the premiere in Manchester. Images of the chosen fans will be posted on the film's official Facebook and Twitter pages in the coming weeks.

"Making this film, I got to be part of something truly remarkable, the double decade awaited ‘resurrection’ of my all time favourite band, The Stone Roses," said Meadows.

"People say that you can’t recapture your youth, it’ll never be the same second time round etc, but that’s utter rubbish. The Roses were never allowed to reach their peak first time around so, as far as I and millions of fans around the world were concerned, with this comeback the Roses could be even greater." He added.

Shane Meadows Unveils Stone Roses Documentary Title

Filmmaker Shane Meadows' forthcoming documentary on the Stone Roses reunion has been entitled "The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone". 

The renowned director has teamed up with Film4, 4DVD and Warp Films for the project, which tells the story of the Manchester band’s comeback tour last year which was defined by the record breaking three-night stay at Manchester’s Heaton Park.

Meadows has said: “When Ian Brown rang me to tell me my favourite band of all time was getting back together again, it was like every Roses fan’s wildest dreams were coming true. People tell you that you can’t recapture your youth, it won’t be the same. I don’t believe that.”

“I’m going to make up for the nightmare of a lifetime at 17 years old, being sat in a flat having a bad trip when I could have been at Spike Island, being part of one of the most momentous things ever.”

Film4 executive producer Katherine Butler added: "It’s hard to think of a film that could be any more exciting. A combination of Shane’s wonderfully insightful directorial eye, the seminal genius of The Stone Roses, and our brilliant friends at Warp – what else is there to say? We’re thrilled."

The film includes footage of the band's early rehearsals and subsequent performances on the road in Spain, Germany and Japan, and it's scheduled for cinema release later this year.

Stone Roses' Ian Brown To Release Solo Career Box Set

The Stone Roses frontman, Ian Brown, has announced the release of a limited edition box set spanning his solo career from 1998 onwards, later this year. 

Entitled 'Collected', the deluxe package will tell the story of Brown's solo career from 1998 to the time of the Roses' reunion last year, and is to include all eight solo albums on CD, as well as a disc of B-sides and another packed with remixes. It will also include a 12” record with previously unreleased, remixed tracks.

But that's not all, the set also includes a DVD with all of Brown's promo videos and a “lavishly illustrated” hardback book about his solo career,. Also, there's a silkscreen poster and certificate of authenticity, hand numbered and signed by the man himself. 

The box set will be released on 3rd December and strictly limited to 1000 copies and when fans pre-order it they can download two unreleased remixes. 

Ian Brown's solo career began just under two years after the end of The Stone Roses in 1996 with the debut record 'Unfinished Monkey Business'. He achieved his solo commercial zenith in 2001 with the 'Music Of The Spheres' album, which spawned the hit single 'F.E.A.R.'.

The Stone Roses Sign Two Record Deals

 The Stone Roses have signed two new record deals ahead of their planned reunion shows next year.

A spokesman confirmed: "The Stone Roses are pleased to announce that they have signed a record contract with Universal Music in London and with Columbia Records in New York."

The move is set to make the band millions, after Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni announced details of three homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park in June, with further festivals appearances at V, T In The Park and Spain's Benicassim.

The Stone Roses Confirm Return

Finally, Manchester legends The Stone Roses, have officially announced that they are to reform for two special shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park on June 29th and 30th 2012. They have also confirmed plans for a world tour there after, with new songs included in the set .

The press conference (October 18th) was attended by all 4 members of their classic line up, Reni, Mani, John Squire and Ian Brown. Brown said: "This is a live resurrection that you're all invited to."

When asked about his thoughts on the current state of music, Brown replied: "It's boring and bland at the moment."

Tickets for the two shows go on sale this Friday (October 21st) at 9.30am. They have confirmed the following shows: June 29 Manchester Heaton Park // June 30 Manchester Heaton Park.

The Stone Roses Reunion Denied by Bassist

Reports in The Sun this morning (April 7th) suggested that the band could be set to reform after patching up their differences. Sadly for us, Mani has angrily denied any potential reformation from The Stone Roses, and blasted tabloid intrusion into his life!

"Two old friends meeting up after 15 years to pay their respects to my mother does not constitute the reformation of The Stone Roses. Please fuck off and leave it alone. It isn't true and isn't happening." Mani said.

A very much loved group, The Stone Roses have been dogged by rumours of reformation since the moment they split back in 1996. More than a decade on, the legendary Manchester group have refused to get back together.

Focussed on their own careers, Ian Brown and Mani have continued to work in the music industry. John Squire meanwhile, is now a full time artist and spent the bulk of 2010 hosting exhibitions around the globe.

So that's that. The statement is unequivocal, and with Mani set to resume bass duties in Primal Scream for their 'Screamadelica' tour there is no sign that The Stone Roses are set to reform any time soon.

The Stone Roses Gig Celebrated In Film

The Manchester band's 1990 gig has inspired a new film.

Arranging a one off show at Spike Island, The Stone Roses gig became a landmark moment in British youth culture. Watched by 30,000 people and came at a time the band were at the peak of their fame, the gig gave writer Tom Green the idea to make the film. The writer is responsible for Channel Four’s Misfits, although this time he had passed writing credits to '24 Hour Party People' actor Chris Cohill.

Speaking to BBC News, Tom Green explained some of the motivations behind the new film project. "This is a raw and truly authentic rites-of-passage story. It's full of the humour, heartache, dreams and fears of being part of a brotherhood of mates, and set to the greatest record ever written".

He added: "The Roses died in '95. This is the resurrection."

Famously, the actual show was something of an anti-climax featuring dodgy sound and overpriced burgers. However the event raised expectations, and demonstrated that despite years of Thatcher oppression youth culture was still a vital force in British society.

Many of the musicians involved in the show are expected to make a cameo in the film, which is due to start shooting later this year. The permanently young Mani could well play himself, following a similar walk on part in '24 Hour Party People'.

Project is set to go into production and we're looking forward to see the results.
