Scratch My Back was released in 2010 in Germany on 12/02, in the UK on 15/02 and everywhere else on 02/03. The album consists of twelve cover versions Peter Gabriel without a regular rock band, but with a complete orchestra. Amongst others, Gabriel covers David Bowie, Paul Simon, Elbow, Radiohead and TheTalking Heads. For more details, read our album review and the project information page.
Gabriel presented the album live in spring and fall 2010. The live set consisted of songs from the new album as well as songs from Gabriel's own repertoire. The concerts took place with a full orchestra, which is why there were only a few shows planned in the first place. Peter played concerts in London, Paris and Berlin; contrary to previous reports the orchestra will be the same throughout, i.e. it tours with Peter. Additional shows were added in North America in New York, Montreal and Los Angeles.
After several series of shows in 2010 and 2011, Peter Gabriel returns on stage with his New Blood Orchestra in May 2012 (Germany).
