INDONESIA and farewell Jason

Greetings all

someone out there is reading for certain.
It is the truth dude!

Why - well because we got abooking for 5 shows in Indonesia for Glovebox. How we don't know but there they are. Libya one year and Indonesia the next.

Happy with that.


Bummer news is that Jason has decided to quit the LOVEMAKERS. Shame. We go back - way back and its not going to be the same without him.

Too many groupies have worn him out

adios buddy.

GLOVEBOX ARE COMING HOME

MTV SUPERSTAR GLOVEBOX

We have some very exciting news to report!

“Superstar” has received airplay on MTV Latin America!

This is an absolute huge addition to the campaign (MTV Latin America reaches 35 million potential viewers in the US and 17 South American countries!) and really helps to continue to bring this band to the next level. Xavier Campos, head programmer at MTV Latin America, is always a very big supporter of pushing new and deserving artists to the forefront and we are very excited that he has embraced “Superstar”.

We have some other terrific regional outlets that have included “Superstar” in their recent programming. Video Vision, which is based out of San Francisco, CA, and reaches 1.7 million potential viewers on cable, has included the video on their most recent playlist. Catherine Lee features the best videos on her weekly show in one of the biggest markets in the country. This is another strong add for the campaign and all the young, CD buying kids in San Francisco tune in to this show religiously on a weekly basis. We have also secured airplay for “Superstar” on M Squared, which is based in Long Branch, NJ. Transmitting from Monmouth University, M Squared is seen every day on campus, and weekly in the surrounding towns, reaching 175,000 potential viewers. Also, Cutting Edge, in Dayton, OH, has included the video on their show. Cutting Edge is a very popular indie rock show in the area, thanks to the large college population, and has an audience of 50,000 potential viewers.
The popular internet television network, Music Plus TV, has added the video to their online rotation. Music Plus TV is an all inclusive music network that features videos, reviews, interviews, and much more covering all things music. They currently have a registered database of 250,000 with that number growing daily. This is another terrific internet outlet to embrace Glovebox!

More are coming all the time.

We are writing a book!

It is true.

I am writing a book about the music business.

So far the title is : Ego versus Emo

Or

I hate the radio. Why don’t they play decent music anymore

I thought I would throw an unedited snippet on the blog this week as I haven't been able to add to the rest of the rubbish I usually write.

Advance order being taken - free if you want one for now. Loads of $ when its a real tome.



"When you do go to a convention - having parted with a few hundred dollars and probably a few thousand more on air fares and hotel rooms and meet the great and powerful I think you might be surprised at how many of them wear Hawaiian shirts.

An amazing amount of really key guys in the music business (and it is almost always guys) are getting on in years and have obviously had a few too many power breakfasts. I genuinely think that most of them are committed and really believe in what they are saying but the reality on the ground is very different from the reality in the boardroom.

The biggest problem facing anyone from Gen X or younger these days is that the boomers will not just fuck off and die. They hang in there with their Woodstock jargon and big pensions and desperately try to defend themselves from the future. I don’t blame them but if they had any sense at all they would all have retired years ago and left music to their kids. Instead we are force fed the same snoring songs.

Bob Dylan has been given his own show on XM satellite radio.

Why?

Because he is a known name that the boomers identify with. If you are younger than 40 you might never have heard of him and why would you.

It is time to retire fossils!

I should know. I am rapidly catching up and I am so cranky it’s hard to relate to some new music. If I was in charge of the radio I would play Stone Roses back to back man. (Not really but you get the idea)."

This is why you get hassled travelling

A true story and its source was the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service in Adelaide.

A bloke and his family were on holidays in the United States and went to Mexico for a week. An avid cactus fan, the man bought one-metre high, rare and expensive cactus there. On arrival back home Australian Customs said it must be quarantined for 3 months.

He finally got his cactus home. Planted it in his backyard, and over time it grew to about 2 metres. One evening while watering his garden after a warm spring day, he gave the cactus a light spray. He was amazed to see the plant shiver all over, he gave it another spray and it shivered again.
He was puzzled so he rang the council who put him on to the state gardens people. After a few transfers he got the state's foremost cactus expert who asked him many questions. How tall is it? Has it flowered? Etc.

Finally he asked the most disturbing question. "Is your family in the house?" The bloke answered yes. The cactus expert said get out of the house NOW, get on to the front nature strip and wait for me; I will be there in 20 minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, 2 fire trucks, 2 police cars and an ambulance came screaming around the corner. A fireman got out and asked "Are you the bloke with the cactus?" I am, he said. A guy jumped out of the fire truck wearing what looked like a space suit, a breathing cylinder and mask attached to what looked like a scuba backpack with a large hose attached. He headed for the backyard and turned a flame-thrower on the cactus spraying it up and down.

After a few minutes the flame-thrower man stopped, the cactus stood smoking and spitting, half the fence was burnt and parts of the gardens were well and truly scorched. Just then the cactus expert appeared and laid a calming hand on the bloke's shoulder. "What the hell's going on?" he says. "Let me show you" says the cactus man. He went over to the cactus and picked away a crusty bit, the cactus was almost entirely hollow and filled with tiger striped bird-eating tarantula spiders, each about the size of two hand spans.

The story was that this type of spider lays eggs in this type of cactus and they hatch and live in it as they grow to full size. When full size they release themselves. The cactus just explodes and about 150 dinner plate sized hairy spiders are flung from it, dispersing everywhere. They had been ready to pop. The aftermath was that the house and the adjoining houses had to be vacated and fumigated: police tape was put up outside the whole area and no one was allowed in for two weeks.

beer and buddies

Drinking partners

An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having
a beer.

All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in
the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "In Seth
Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the
same one twice," he says.

The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his
glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull
mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we
don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says

The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it,
throws his glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African
and the Kiwi.
He turns to the astonished barman and says,"In Strailya mate, we Have
so many bloody South Africans and Kiwis that we don't need to drink with
the same ones twice."

Moving Home

Thanks for tuning in to the latest blog.

It has been and wll be a mad time for us here as we are moving our entire world around. Literally.

The thing is that we are moving to London in August.

Phew - we can't go any further without coming back!

Everyone who knows keeps saying why and the truth is that we can't survive another day in paradise.

The sunny days and endless parties in Australia are just too much.
We need to get back to the gritty urban reality that is England. Home of the Streets and Lady Sovereign.

If its good enough for Mike Skinner its good enough for us.

That and the fact that James Bond lives there will do us.

So if you want to send any demo's make it quick because we won't be here for long!

Actually whilkst we are talking about this the San Landro office is open now so there is a real American love god in charge of stuff on the West Coast. ask joe@bariarecords.com what is happening and he will tell you he has no idea but at lest you can find out what the weather is like in lovely California.

glovebox tour diary

Hello to all around the World!

Hope this mail finds you all well & am now in Boulder Colorado USA. It's
a sunny morning here in Boulder & enjoying a couple of days rest before
our next trip across & to the east coast of the USA.

The past week has proved to be an adventure! We travelled from San
Francisco to Portland and we couldn't wait to get out of the car after a
12 hour trip & 600 miles. "Music Millennium"
http://www.musicmillennium.com/ in Portland were the first to experience
the grooves of Glovebox followed by a night time performance at the
Holocene Bar - http://www.holocene.org/ Both gigs were sensational & the
people of Portland certainly were intrigued by the sounds of Glovebox. We
were fortunate to perform with Portland's infamous band "Climber".

Moving up to cold rainy Seattle we made our way to "Silver Platters"
http://www.silverplatters.com/ record store & performed an afternoon gig
followed by a night time performance at the "High Dive Bar".
http://highdiveseattle.com/ Again the night was a blast!

Into middle America we headed & Boise Idaho was the first to experience
Glovebox, the Big Easy Concert Hall http://www.bigeasyconcerts.com/
accomodated in excess of 500 people who grooved to the new sound in town.
Onto Salt Lake City Utah the Ego bar http://www.clubegos.com/ was this
groovy little bar down-town packed out with groovy people. We headed to
beautiful Aspen Colorado and the Belly Up Bar
http://www.bellyupaspen.com/home.html welcomed us into there great cool
bar normally filled with infamous people - during the winter season!
Finished the week by playing at the Trilogy Bar in Boulder - the coolest
bar in town owned by triplets! We supported infamous band "Fragga"

EVIL IN DIAPERS

Jesus!
have you heard about those two psycotic nut jobs called Prussian Blue?

We just heard about them and their insane campaign to make music white. What the hell is going on there?

In case you have never heard of these two they are members of some whacked out conspiracy group that likes to think that they belong to a distinct genus of humans known as the "master race". Correct me if I am wrong but didn't the master race come last in 1945? They opened a big can of whoop ass called the REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD! and were sent to meet their makers at Nuremberg. Get over it.

Do me a favour dearies - go back to school and learn something useful like genetics. That way you will discover that there is about a 1% difference between us and monkeys and a zero percent difference between you and a nice man called Jesus. Thats is what's so endearing about them. They think Jesus was white. How sweet. Lets think shall we?

Jesus never met a Christian - there were none then. Ergo Jesus was not a Christian.
Jesus came from Nazareth which is now in the Occupied Territories and is populated by Arabs.
Arabs are not white. Therefore you worship a "black guy."- ergo a "rag head" OOOPS.

Jesus said you cannot serve both God and Money. HE DID - NO MATTER WHAT PAT ROBERTSON TELLS YOU! So stop fund raising and spending it on braces to make you teeth perfect. You are supposed to be perfect already. Weird how some of us have naturally perfect teeth and you don't. Flunked out there as well.

I bet you that by the time these two are 20 they will either be junkies or pregnant with Michael Jacksons twins. Relax kids. Your mum will look after them.

How bored must they be to have all this rubbish in their heads. I recommend hard drugs. That way i could have some sympathy for you lunacy. Meanwhile here is a message to all racists.

FUCK OFF! WE WON!
