About Coldplay

Coldplay is a post-Britpop band from London, United Kingdom well known for their rock melodies and introspective lyrics.
The band consists of:

Chris Martin (lead vocals, guitar, piano/keyboard)
Jon Buckland (lead guitar, harmonica, backing vocals)
Guy Berryman (bass, synthesizer, backing vocals)
Will Champion (drums/percussion, backing vocals)
Coldplay's early material was reminiscent of artists such as Radiohead, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, and Travis. Other influences include U2, R.E.M, The Smiths, Sparklehorse, The Stone Roses, Tom Waits, The Flaming Lips, Neil Young, Echo and the Bunnymen and, more recently, Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk. Before his passing, Cash was actually scheduled to record a track penned by the band.

Since the release of A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Coldplay has also been actively supporting various social and political causes. They have been advocates for Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group has also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, and the Teenage Cancer Trust. Martin was outspoken against Iraq war in 2003, and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004. Bassist Guy Berryman says, "You can make people aware of issues. It isn't very much effort for us at all, but if it can help people, then we want to do it".

Despite Coldplay's surge in popularity, the band has remained very protective of how their music is used in the media. The band allows their music to be used in film, television, and promotional spots such as the movie trailer to Peter Pan. However, Coldplay has been adamantly against their use in actual product endorsement. The band turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade, Diet Coke and The Gap, who wanted to use the songs "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic" respectively. According to Martin, "We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs' meanings like that."

X&Y (Mid 2004-present)
Coldplay, Inside Entertainment (April 2005)2004 was a quiet year for Coldplay, as they spent most of the year out of spotlight resting from touring and recording their third album. In May, Coldplay teased fans with a new song and music video on their official site to celebrate the birth of Martin's daughter, Apple. Famed producer Sir George Martin introduced the promo as Coldplay and their producer Ken Nelson performed as The Nappies, a satirised rap/glam rock outfit. Martin joked that this music had been inspired by Jay-Z.[3] (http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=19007).

Coldplay's third album, X&Y will be released on 6 June 2005 in the UK. The lead single "Speed of Sound", made its radio and online music store debut on April 18 and was released as a CD on May 23, 2005. To promote the new release, Coldplay performed at a series of intimate secret gigs in Europe and in North America in March to May of 2005, which resulted in sold-out shows in locations such as San Francisco, Chicago, Tampa, Boston and New York City. They have announced a European tour in June and July and will be performing at 40 North American cities from August to late September during the Twisted Logic Tour. Coldplay will also be headlining the 2005 Coachella and Glastonbury festivals.

The album was originally set to be released in late 2004. In the middle of that year, Coldplay had penned over 40 new songs for their third album. Several of these songs such as "Ladder To The Sun", "World Turned Upside Down", and "Poor Me" had been performed live on the A Rush Of Blood To The Head Tour. However, they were scrapped and the band regrouped to write and record new tracks. X&Y was recorded over 18 months in 8 studios in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Liverpool, and London.

Now Coldplay is touring again in . And we've got the Coldplay Uniondale Tickets you're looking for.
