MESSAGE FROM MRS FIEND

Mrs Fiend writes :
Yes we are still recording - which is why I was very busy last update & handed the reins over to Nik cos he was waiting for me to finish some bits off before he could mix the track - it's all going really well right now & we're allowing ourselves to start getting very excited about it.... We reckon it's gonna be a monster, with something for everyone - whether you are an old skool fiend from the early days or whether you are a newer convert with albums like Information Overload... we think this will cause wonderful damage to yer lug 'oles & a much needed brain clear out whilst simultaneously removing yer wig! - heck some of the tracks have even scared US!! heeeeee... it's been a tough road getting this far along - we've had a number of interruptions along the way - but we've stuck at IT & now there's light at the end of the tunnel - yaaay! BUT I heard someone say the other day that "the light at the end of the tunnel usually means that a train is fast approaching" (HA!) thank you, you negative f***! So we ain't counting our squawking chickens just yet... suffice to say that we feel that we're not far off now... & tho we've still got artwork & all that to sort out even after the recording's done so we daren't give yer a release date just yet - keep IT all crossed for us, & with yer collective good will, we can unleash the bugger on you lot as soon as is fiendishly possible!


R.I.P.
BRIAN "RENFIELD" NELSON (ALICE COOPER), ANDY HUGHES (THE ORB), SKY SAXON (THE SEEDS)


We were extremely sorry to learn of the passing of some of our fellow travellers in the world of music recently....

Firstly - & the best known to us - was Brian "Renfield" Nelson, who had been Alice Cooper's personal assistant & archivist since 1980. He unexpectedly passed away in June whilst working on the European leg of Alice's tour. There is little more information available at this time, except to say that it was a terrible shock for everyone who knew him & that both Brian's family & Alice himself have requested privacy & we are upholding that. All we can say further is a massive big thank you to Brian for always looking after us, above & beyond the call of duty, both during the Nightmare Returns tour when we supported Alice, as well as in recent years during our post-show backstage get-togethers. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him...

Secondly, another shock was hearing of Andy Hughes (ex-The Orb) who passed away aged 44 in June in the UK after a short illness. He was involved in mixing & production on albums such as "Orbus Terrarum" & "Orblivion" & certainly contributed to giving us many happy listening moments....

And thirdly, although we never got to meet him personally, & again in June (what was going on in June???) Sky Saxon, lead singer & bassist of the Los Angeles-based psychedelic 60s garage rock band, The Seeds, also departed this world in Austin, Texas. If you haven't heard of The Seeds you can still find their music - songs such as their (probably) best known single "Pushin' Too Hard" appears on compilations like The Nuggets series, these are corking compilations & are highly recommended.....

All we can do is to thank them all, & send our condolences to their families & friends, & to say that their passing has given us even more impetus to continue to create our own music...... Mrs Fiend & Nik

We managed a visit to see our mates' car "Nosferatu" which we mentioned in the August update & congratulations are due - they are now the fastest door slammer in Europe with a 198mph & 6.91 time! Yaay! We missed them achieving that particular milestone but caught the car's very hairy encounter with the wall - there's a video clip of it up on their website but I tell ya it REALLY doesn't show how very damn scary it was from a spectator's point of view! We held our collective breath while waiting for the car to roll over - BUT the driver - The Fearless Count - showed how truly fearless he is & he tamed the beast to reach the finish line.... the bad news was that Nosferatu had severly damaged bodywork & Vince's fantastic paint job had been completely buggered BUT Nosferatu is the car that wouldn't die! & although it's out of action for a while - it will return!
