West Leeds Weekly News did a good feature on the EP and it should be on my site soon. Production of my new album (Unlimited Edition) is going great, local guitarist Chris Kirk is making a guest appearance on one track and DJ James Sammon (aka Pianoman and more recently Bar Code) who's previous credits include a number six hit, is remixing a track from the Slipped Disc EP. A tune from the EP has been chosen as the title track for a new independent film, 'Broke', released early next year. My recent acoustic gig, featuring lots of new material, was well appreciated at York and Ripon Student Union." http://www.djbeasty.com

FOUR DAY HOMBRE
recently
came up with this internet friendly idea:
"What we'd like to do is use
our website www.fourdayhombre.co.uk
to host a range of band interviews,
where each band enters the league (like the darts
league
in the melody maker) and we get to ask all sorts of questions about
the
band. Each band involved would then be featured, with their interview,
links
and gig dates, (even MP3's if you like) on the site for 2 weeks / a
month
(depending on interest) until another band took their place. There is
a
potential for 'battle of the bands' type quizzes here too.......We thought
this might be a good way for us to
strike up relationships with other bands, have fun,
and
have a feature that is beneficial to us all. (also if it ends up even
slightly
serious, we could all learn a little from each others experiences)
PANAMA
PROMOTIONS
and
Leeds \ Newcastle based Art-Punk-Prog rockers JUNO-2 have anounced a new
deal under which the band and Panama will jointly host regular gigs at The
Royal Park Cellars. Promoted under the banner "JUNO-2 and Friends"
the bi-monthly gigs will feature main support acts especially chosen by
JUNO-2 themselves, while Panama will continue to book openers. The
series is initially intended to run until June 2001, when both the
band & Panama will re-assess the situation.
ROOSTER have found a bass player and are looking to gig soon. Their new site is at www.roostersound.com
