Smiths' bassist Andy Rourke, has relocated to Brooklyn NY in May 2009 to work on and release new recordings. When not in the studio, Rourke is catching flights to get to gigs around the world getting back in time for his NYC weekly DJ residency "JETLAG".
"JETLAG"
Opening Night June 10th 2009
Every Wednesday night starting in June, Andy Rourke (formerly of the Smiths) and New York DJ, Olé Koretsky, will be manning the decks at Beauty Bar's flagship location in NYC. In recent months, Rourke and Koretsky have been building a relationship with the small Manhattan venue by getting involved in a series of successful nights featuring guests like Allan Dias (Public Image Ltd), DJ Ash, Michael T (Rated X), and Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen). Party goers can expect a lot more of the same, but, on a weekly basis, and may be able to see other familiar faces like Brazilian Girls' Jesse Murphy, DJ Alexander Technique, Paul Ryder of the Happy Mondays, and Sex Pistol Glen Matlock.
Revered bassist and song craftsman, Rourke has been honing his DJ skills for over six years, evolving considerably since the first North American DJ tour of 2004 with former band mate Mike Joyce. Moving across genres with fluidity, Rourke's sense of rhythm and melody become apparent. It will be no Haçienda, but hints of electro and classic dance cuts will be bleeding through the rock and post-punk oriented DJ sets thanks to Rourkey's Mancunian roots and Ole's background as club DJ and remix producer.
Free admission, an attractive crowd, affordable drinks and weekly drink specials, will round the evening off nicely. The party kicks off Wednesday June 10th. Plan for a hot summer in New York!

He, along with the other melodramatic demon, snacked on Morrissey and Marr's well-earned fortunes, and now they are being treated as respectable figures?
Do me a favour, blow yer'self up in a retired chippy.

Alone in NY - I’m going to meet Andy (Score:1)
Law often has nothing to do with what is right or fair -- believe otherwise and a shock awaits you.
So ... now Andy Rourke is about approximately seventeen minutes in my car from me, on Wednesday nights apparently. Being that Andy needed money for other reasons, i.e. his heroin addiction problem, well his alleged heroin addiction problem really, I don’t have the same problem with him , as I do with Mike Joyce aka Mike Gross. If you notice, in any of my messages, after all of these years ... I rarely compared him to that wretched drummer. Hell no. When there was a rumour, and I even said in my message at the time, when there was a rumour that Mike Joyce aka Mike Gross was going to be working (if you call it work), because really, as we are all well aware that thing does not know how to work. Which is why, he whined and cried to his lawyers and even convinced his lawyers (liars) to proceed with his really what I term false allegations. His case whereby he claimed that Morrissey owed him 25% was just the way I see it, the act of a true con, a true manipulator, and well, a liar.
Now, Andy on the other hand needed money. So he listened to his sidekick over there. He might have even ‘believed’ Mike Joyce aka Mike Gross. Because let’s face it, a con can be very very believable and convincing. So, Andy, being as vulnerable as he was ... and who can blame him really because if it is true, that he had a heroin problem, then we should understand why Morrissey, being the humble, kind, and understanding person that he is, we should all understand that Morrissey (because he is a good person), he felt sorry for Andy. And rightfully so. Because somebody with an addiction, any addiction, especially heroin can get messed up. The heroin can make their lives so messed up that they don’t know what they’re doing. And blatantly Morrissey had sympathy for somebody on his staff. Morrissey at the time that he gave thousands and thousands of dollars (well more than that even) to Andy, it was obviously because Morrissey understood the complications and consequences of someone who not only needed heroin ... but they were also being pulled in, swooped in by his sidekick in order to assure that the con himself had a witness. Because you have to understand, in a court of law, you (especially in a civil case), you need at least one witness. Well not really that it is essenti

Rourke's a rip-off!! (Score:0)
So what has Andy Rourke wrote apart from ripping off The Cookies?? Johnny Marr wrote the bass lines in The Smiths.
Andy Rourke is a cruel, selfish, unintelligent, lazy man. Andy Rourke is a alcoholic and has addiction problems!
