Hi Folks,
This weeks show at The Joint will be the second last show there for a while the last being a bit of a St Patricks day bash on March 16th(yes I know St Patricks is 17th).This week Ginger from The Wildhearts will be one of my special guests getting up and playing a few cover songs with me,and of course my fellow irishman Vivian Campbell will also be playing with me having contributed some amazing guitar work on the new album LOVE MANY TRUST FEW.I will also be doing a bit of writing with Ginger this week which I am looking forward to,I have known Ginger for years and we have talked about writing some songs,so finally we are gonna get round to it.
If you can make it down to The joint you should,its becoming a very cool night in there with a great vibe.
Im returning to Ireland on the 23rd March for three weeks to play a show at one of my favourite venues The Spirit Store in Dundalk,which is also being filmed,there is a chance I might be doing another show in the North of Ireland (will let you know asap).
The final master of the new album will be delivered to Sanctuary Records this week as will the new artwork,so we should be getting some samples up here very soon,Sophie has some amazing and exciting new ideas for the website which you will be seeing over the next few weeks.
I have also recorded an acoustic version of Running Free by Iron Maiden (done a la Johnny Cash style) which may not be on the album but will be available in some shape or form,Steve Harris has already heard it and given it the thumbs up.
There plans for a lot more website only stuff!!!
Myself and Andy Cairns of Therapy ? are looking at studio time in LA over the next few months to begin recording an album under the name The Tanks Of Justice a side project we have been planning for a while now,The Tanks of Justice sound is one that can only be described as the MC5 meets Gloria Gaynor at Tom Waits house on acid!!!
Right now I’m putting together my solo touring plans for the year to promote LOVE MANY TRUST FEW and these should be in place by the end of the month with dates in the UK and Ireland,the USA and Europe,I can’t wait to get out there and play the new songs,I’m very excited about this record and can’t wait for you guys to hear it and your reaction to it !
I will be back in LA mid April and whenever I can will play The Joint on Wednesdays!
Keep checkin’ the website as there are lots of cool things coming up!
Thanx again for all your support and I will see you out on the road somewhere soon.
Until next time,
Love,
Ricky.
