Johnny Nightmare has a new drummer: BONE THE BEATER. Handling two major bands was too much for COUNT ELWING, and in agreement with Johnny Nightmare quit the band. No hard feelings, and Butch and Dax wants to say thanx for the time being.
That leaves the sticks for Bone, an experienced drummer who also plays lead guitar in the surf act THE SURFING HENCHMEN. The guy is mental, and learned the whole set in a week. So the crew is ready for this years tour. Welcome on board.
The tour will concentrate on a few Danish shows, and the rest in Germany. For 2009 more dates will be added later. October/december and maybe January will be held free for finishing Johnny Nightmares second album to be released in spring 2009.
From the Asmodeus myspace page:
Asmodeus will be in the studio to record a Christmas song for a compilation which will be released by Cleopatra Records at the end of the year.
Digging up the King will be released on coloured vinyl on the Klub 333 label. It will be a very exclusive release with 333 copies only! Of course there will be some bonus material on it. If you want to get your hands on one of these gems you will have to sign up here: http://klub333.ifrance.com/usjeudecadre.htm

Apart from the Asmodeus Myspace site there's also a rumor that they might play in December too!

* 18.02.1968 † 20.06.2008
Denn was heißt Sterben anderes, als nackt im
Wind zu stehen und in der Sonne zu schmelzen!
Und was heißt nicht mehr zu atmen anders, als
den Atem von seinen rastlosen Gezeiten zu
befreien, damit er emporsteigt und sich entfaltet
und ungehindert Gott suchen kann?
(Khalil Gibran)

Patricia of evilneedles.com is a custom clothing designer who has taken to t-shirt reconstructions. Her latest project involves a limited quantity of Reverend Horton Heat tops reconstructed from vintage Rev. tees. These limited tops will only be available at the merch table for the Rev's upcoming tour.
These are official Reverend Horton Heat men's tees that have been sent over to Patricia to be chopped and
channeled into slim fitting corsets, tube tops and halters.
You can find hundreds of reconstructed tees and original designs at www.evilneedles.com
Two are of the Rev tops and one is of a Night of the Living Dead that's exclusive to evilneedles.com--it's hard to resist a pic of a busty red head in a zombie shirt.

"Hey... much has been said about the three white love-angels; JC Benz, Atomic Child and Kim Kix.
But one thing that we know for sure; is that POWERSOLO is one of the best livebands in the whole
goddamn world. Just google and see. And you will find out, that it is also one of the most
hardworking bands on the goddamn planet. Ok.. last years short gig list of 121 shows, has
it's good reasons. JC Benz and Kim Kix both have wives and kids and the Atomic Child is
moving his way up in local politics.
On top of that; POWERSOLO also masters the beautiful art of backing living legends. Such as
Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion) and Mr. Matt Verta-Ray (Speedball Baby), or maybe better known as,
HEAVY TRASH."
>From April 4th. POWERSOLO will tour again. Starting in Nantes at the fantastic IDEAL festival
HEAVY TRASH, and continueing around south and south-west Europe. France, Spain and Portugal.
This is a great opportunity to promote their HEAVY TRASH vs. POWERSOLO 10" split EP. Out on

POWERSOLO will be playing festivals, clubs and dungeons. But also double bills with The Belrays
and Heavy Trash. It ain't gonna be holidays, but it sure gonna be good work!
