Today must be Horrorpops day...

Wow, more Horrorpops news keeps coming up, hopefully this will finish up this story for tonight. From Patricia Day's myspace blog:

"The long road back to where it began…

Rumors has been going around for a while now about HorrorPops, some crazy, some funny, some really stupid and some true.. and for a long time we didn't comment, we just wanted to keep things within our family, work on things on our own and just be HorrorPops.
It is true that Geoff Kresge is no longer a member of HorrorPops. As you may know, at the time Geoff joined HorrorPops he had also just started his dream project, Viva Hate. This was something he had wanted to do even while he was still in Tiger Army and was one of the reasons he eventually left TA. But we came and snatched him for HorrorPops before he could dedicate himself fully to this dream. Now Viva Hate have gotten to the point where they have a good fan base, gigs lined up and after two great years with HorrorPops, Geoff now needs to dedicate his time to Viva Hate and has our complete blessings and support in this. As of Nov 2006 we went our separate ways.
At the same time NoNo decided it was time to move on to other things and to dedicate more time to her family whom she missed constantly on tour. She had given us a heads up about her departure for some time, so we already had a good friend ready to step in and practice the song with Kamilla. Her name is Rita, she's from Philly, one hell of a tough chick and we can't wait for you to meet her.
Kamilla was determined to stay as a dancer in the band, but at the same time as our upcoming tour dates has drawn closer, her different projects also has become more time consuming. Finally last week she let us know that she no longer could continue touring with HorrorPops, but needed to concentrate more on the projects she's been working on and also would like to stay at home more than our previous touring schedule has allowed. Kamilla will still be involved in HorrorPops and has offered her help with finding a new dancer or teaching the dances.
It has been hard for everybody to make these decisions, but it was important that it was our decision as a band and friends and important to us that we weren't influenced by others demands. We are still all the best of friends, as we were when we started, and will continue being as we go on. Please respect that we kept this a family matter for a while, but we're sure you understand and we all hope we have your love and support in these matters.

So we took the long road back to where we started in '96… a three piece band, just Kim, Henrik and Patricia and that's how we went in the studio earlier this year. As a touring act we will of course still have dancers, after all we do enjoy to put on a show. But writing as a three piece again took us back to the feeling of our first album Hell Yeah and we're sure you'll recognize that both in the music and also in the titles ex: HorrorBeach pt2… There's also a follow up on Where They Wander called Boot2Boot and it is a dedication to the last squatted house in Denmark which got f@3ked in the ass by the state a few months back.
The new album is titled KissKissKillKill and was set to be released the 10'th this month. However, contrary to most believes we are on a small indie label with small budgets and we would have ended up competing with to many major releases. Together with Hellcat we decided that we would postpone the album and give us self some time off and do some small fun tours. The first of these will start in the end of August and will get posted as it gets confirmed. Here are the ones that are confirmed so far:

Aug 28: The Dome, Bakersfield, CA
Aug29: Alpine, Venture, CA
Aug 30: Downtown Brew, SLO, CA
Aug 31: Slims, San Francisco, CA
Sep 1: Hawthorne Theater, Portland, OR
Sep 2: Bumbershoot/ Ex Hall, Seattle, WA
Sep 4: The Domino Room, Bend, OR
Sep 5: Boardwalk, Sacramento, CA
Sep 6: Vets Hall, Santa Cruz, CA
Sep 7: House of Blues, LA, CA
Sep 9: House of Blues, Anaheim, CA"

So, in summation:

Guitarist Geoff Kresge has left Horrorpops to focus on his band Viva Hate
Dancer Naomi "NoNo" has left Horrorpops to spend more time with her family
Dancer Kamilla Vanilla Kresge has left Horrorpops to deal with her other responsibilities

Kim Nekroman, Patricia Day, and Henrik remain and have recorded an album earlier this year to be released at some undetermined later date, probably this year. The Horrorpops have landed a dancer from Philadelphia named Rita and will be auditioning for a second dancer next month. Not that confusing after all...
