The Waterboys Strut Through Streets of Tokyo In Video For New Single "Where The Action Is"New Album Where The Action Is Out May 24 via Cooking VinylPhoto by Xavier MercadeOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Missing Piece Group Following the release of last month's single "Right Side Of Heartbreak (Wrong Side Of Love)," The Waterboys released today the video for "Where The Action Is," the title track and new single from their forthcoming album out May 24th via Cooking Vinyl. Watch "Where The Action Is" HERE. "It began as a kind of mixtape album that I was going to put out almost privately," The title for "Where The Action Is" was inspired by the chorus of Robert Parker’s 1960s mod / northern soul classic "Let's Go Baby". The track’s update – with new lyrics by – is a cyclone of a song, all storming drums, skyscraping guitar solos played by Steve Wickham on his fuzzboxed-up violin, and wild soulful female vocals provided by the band’s fabulous Jess Kavanagh and Zeenie Summers. It's an exciting introduction to a 10-song, genre-defying album that is itself a testament to the enduring talents of Mike Scott and his band. One of the finest British songwriters of the past four decades, Scott's songs have been covered and/or recorded by artists including Prince, who crafted two different arrangements of the classic "The Whole Of The Moon", Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Steve Earle, and Ellie Goulding, who had a number three hit in 2013 with "How Long Will I Love You". Diverse in breadth, Where The Action Is is an album of incredible songwriting, experimentation and musical brilliance. It will excite Waterboys fans and new converts alike. Pre-order Where The Action Is HERE and download "Right Side Of Heartbreak (Wrong Side Of Love)" and "Where The Action Is" now. Tracklist: Where The Action Is will be available on CD, Deluxe 2xCD, LP, digital download and streaming services with exclusive bundles also available from the Official Store. Tour Dates:
