Mad Marge & the Stonecutters "Liberated" out now!

From the myspace blog of People Like You Records:

"From the obscure and often lonely cities of the High Desert, located in San Bernardino County, California, this Rock`n`Roll four piece MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS delivers an appealing and impacting sound with hints of Punk Rock, Psychobilly, Metal and everything in between."

In late 2004 with the demise of their previous bands, Mad Marge (Vox), Wehttam (Guitar), Passion Dan (Drums) and Edgar (Double Bass) immediately found camaraderie between one another as friends and musicians to form MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS. Within months they became one of the hardest working bands in the Psychobilly scene that spent the next 2 years working on familiarizing the bands name and their music with anyone who would listen.

MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS were given early opportunities to share the stage with legendary acts such as Demented Are Go and Nekromantix.
Growing interest in the group led to the release of MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS debut self-titled album in 2005, and they have been pushing the album with such vigor and ferocity that they have won the hearts of fans reaching not only throughout the U.S. but across the globe.
With a tremendously strong response from the first record, MAD MARGE &AND THE STONECUTTERS are anxiously looking forward to their 2nd album in "Liberated!" that will deliver an even bigger punch than the first.

Frenzy's Silver Anniversary Outlook

25 years on and Frenzy are still rockin'. They recently posted an update on their Myspace page:

"Well...we are heading into Autumn 2007 and we are starting to get prepared for 2008 which is FRENZY's 25th Anniversary year . We have a lot of stuff planned and we are currently recording our new album . The album title is ''In The Blood'' (at the moment anyway ) and is sounding GREAT. We are so chuffed with the songs we have written and the sound is more 'Neo'. We are also in the process of editing our new DVD . We have done a lot of filming...interviews , live stuff and promo footage etc.. and we have been trawling thru our extensive historic archive going right back to our founding year...1983 !! Its gonna be ROCKIN' TASTIC !

One thing we want to do in our 25th year is a World Tour...ambitious we know and we want to appeal to any promoters and agents out there...management and everyone.........we need to network ourselves as much as possible to make this happen. We have a lot of stuff sorted already with our 'regulars' but we want to broaden our horizons .Spread the word....tell all and if you think you can help us set this project up , please leave a note , comment or message with any info you can give.

Nitro Boy will soon be licenced into the USA and that will be a great help 'cos we are fully aware that the wonderful States is the biggest market for FRENZY. We know some of you guys out there have been having trouble getting hold of the album so hang on !! In the meantime , you can get hold of all of our products , CD's and T - Shirts ...the lot ....from us directly by simply contacting us on this page . Leave details and requests and we will get back to you...guaranteed !!

Steve Whitehouse is still in the process of finishing his first solo album so keep an eye on this page for more news about the release date . Gonna do a personal MySpace page soon too..

In the meantime ...look out for FRENZY at the KINGS OF PSYCHOBILLY in Hamburg in October and in Milano , Italy in mid Oct. We are negotiating lots of other shows at the moment too ....as soon as they are confirmed , they will go up on the gigs section.

For all of you noticing that our Website is down...we know....don't worry...we just aint paid the bill and we are gonna replace it with a new one. This has been going on for a while and will inc a download facility and online store. With all the other stuff going on , it has been put back a bit...there simply isn't enough hours in the day and , hey....MySpace is FREE !! Hang on though , we really wanna get a new Frenzy Website up and running soon.

More info soon....post a comment....go on , you know you want to !!!

All the best

FRENZY"

News from A Sailor's Grave

From the brief ashes of Hyperjax rose A Sailor's Grave. Now of course Hyperjax have reformed and A Sailor's Grave continues along, here is some news from their myspace blog:

"So yeah... We finally got something recorded. Two tracks are up and we have some more to follow in the next few days.
We recorded them in supersonic time, just banging them all out live. We're pretty pleased with them, but oviously they are just a vehicle for letting the world know what we're about... Feel free to download them, burn them, pass them about...

We played our first show last week in Wigan. Cheers to the legions of you who turned up to support us - We've never had a crowd like that in Wigan before. Not bad for our first show! Thanks to everyone who bought shirts. And to those who missed out we will be setting up a function on here for shirts, wife beaters and the like... Look out for that in the near future.

Photos are coming soon. But rest assured, we will look fantastic on them! We had a photoshoot and will be putting some of them up here in the next few days, as well as a few live shots.

We're now looking to book shows; so if you want us to play your town drop us a line and we'll try our best to sort it. Conversely, if you want to put us on a bill, just ask and we'll most likely agree!

So thats about it for now. If you like our new tunes let us know. If you don't, let us know! And spread the news about this site in a bulletin if you can, with a link to our page. That would be a huge help to us, and we'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for your support,
A*S*G"

Recent Unfortunate Happenings @ Psychobilly Events

There have been a couple of casualties at recent psychobilly events.

One was the unfortunate and sad drowning of a 17 year old in the hotel pool following the Hollywood Showdown. There have been differing reports of what actually transpired, however, all accounts seem to indicate that no foul play was involved. This was a tragic accident. Our condolences go out to the family. This was not at the venue or at any function related to the Showdown, but I know that several attendees were aware of this and it really makes me sad.

The other occurred at a Zombie Ghost Train show, this is from their myspace:

"MAN STABBED AT ZGT VEGAS SHOW

Sydney band Zombie Ghost Train are currently finishing up a 2 and a half month tour of Europe and the USA. Last Wed 5th of September, their show was cut short when a fight broke out in the crowd and a man was stabbed in the neck. Police were soon in attendance and the venue was shutdown. The man is in hospital in a stable condition. Despite this set back ZGT have had an amazing tour culminating with a show to a packed house in Hollywood on Saturday. Zombie Ghost Train return to Australia next week and will be hitting the East Coast with Germany psychobilly kings Mad Sin in October. Their new album "Dealing the Death Card" has been released in Australia, Europe and USA."

This pisses me off. Coupled with the fairly recent death at the Meteors House of Blues gig and this is becoming a problem. Psychobilly in this country has been, for the most part, immune to this sort of brutal behavior. In Europe there is a little history like this, but nothing here so far. Can't we all just get along?

Seriously, is it really worth it?

Thee Merry Widows workingon a new album

This short but informative tidbit came from Miss Eva von Slut on the Psychobilly-Online message board:

"You will be glad to hear (or maybe not) that thee Merry Widows finally got off our asses and are recording a new album.

Today is the first day of tracking....so don't expect anything soon but we are hard at work on a brand new album..."
