Blondie, yes Blondie is releasing their new CD The Curse of Blondie (Sancturary Records) April 6. Why the title The Curse of Blondie ???
“It’s been a standing joke for years,” says Debbie Harry, “Every time something weird would happen we would say, ‘It’s the Curse of Blondie.’ A lot of people take it seriously, but it’s silly. It’s sort of a Vincent Price, horror movie type title. I think it’s lucky.”


Judas Priest is in the studio as we speak working on a new release. All the original members are back www.judaspriest.com and they're planning a world tour. Have heard from friends that they'll be hitting the big European Metal fests this spring and summer. I know this is old news, but I like 'em.


BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION--Nikki Sixx (bass), Tracii Guns (guitar), London LeGrand (vocals) and Scot Coogan (drums)-- March 9 release of their debut album Here Come the Brides on Sanctuary Records. This should be interesting! produced by Steve Bruno and mixed by Steve Thompson, known for his production work with Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Korn. Drummer Kris Kohls, a member of Adema, plays on half of 'Here Come the Brides.' "Shut the F**k Up" has been used in a skateboard video shot by Drew Stone of Stone Films.
Quick rundown--Nikki Sixx--ex Motley Crue, Tracii Guns ex-L.A. Guns, Coogan--touring drummer for the boy band All4One, has played with Pete Yorn, Sinead O'Connor,Otep and others. LeGrand...a sharp new kid in town.
