Rumours are circulating that Eric Singer will not be with Alice when the tour hits Australia in July. We can confirm that this is correct. Eric has prior commitments to work with Kiss at that point and so will have to miss a few shows. Standing in for him again will be Brent Fitz. Suggestions that Chuck Garric will miss the shows are untrue.

Some of you may remember that a few years back a group of fine upstanding Sickthings hired a tour bus and followed the complete UK tour seeing every show and having a blast doing it. Well, we're looking to do it again this November and there are still a few spaces on the bus for anyone interested in joining the adventure. It will be 14 nights on a state-of-the-art 14 berth tour bus so your bed will be parked outside the venue, and the next morning you will wake up in the next city, refreshed and ready to do it all again. For full details email Bill Crowe at mythings@btinternet.com.

Also, hot on the heels of Sony's latest 'Best of..." we also have 'Pick Up The Bones - His Latter Recordings', another compilation album, this time from more recent years. This one is out May 7th and you can grab it from AmazonUK or AmazonUS.
(Thanks to lots of people who emailed me this one)

Record collector (UK) has a shport review of the 'Brutal Planet'/'Dragontown' reissue that came out a few weeks ago.
