*** Email received 19/3/2003 from the boys ***
Hello all. Just to let you know what our latest news/plans are. First off the new album, it’s called “High Anxiety” and will be released on Monday May 5th, 2003. To check out the artwork/tracklisting and hear a track go to http://www.spitfirerecords.com/Therapy.htm
We just shot a promo video for the song “If It Kills Me” and that was a lot of fun. It’s the first video with our new drummer Neil Cooper and the first ‘proper’ performance video since we played in a garage in Utah for the “Trigger Inside” clip.
Everyone rocked out in fine style but special mention must go to Neil who performed with a BROKEN ARM. Yes, that’s right…the ‘Spinal Tap’ curse has struck again! He broke it playing football but thankfully it wasn’t a serious break (though it’s in his shoulder and he may have to get it pinned) and he should be back to full power in about 6 weeks. Anyway, with the help of some cunning camera work (and a load of painkillers) he did us proud. More news when you can request this video/song on your favourite music program/radio show as and when we know.
We have a couple of ‘performances’ confirmed for April. On April 6th we will play at the Hard Rock Magazine awards ceremony in Paris. Michael’s brother Charlie will fill in on drums for that. He has filled in before at festivals in Portugal and Switzerland. Also confirmed is an exclusive concert at Studio Brussels in Belgium on April 19th. This will be a short live set which will be recorded for future broadcast. There will be a small audience (we believe Studio Brussels will be running a competition to win tickets, more info as we get it) and also appearing will be Belgium’s finest punk rockers Janez Detd. Should be a fun Saturday!
Ok, tour dates will be coming soon and we’re looking forward to getting out and playing as many of our favourite places as possible.
See you all soon,
Michael-Andy-Martin-Neil TPY?2003
