Great news Stephane and thanks for sharing. A new project with BPF?! That
would be too good to be true wouldn't it?
Did they say anything about Raven. Will he be back?

Cheers,

Bob

Hi All,

Just had the opportunity to see the Mulhouse and Lyon's gigs and
spent quite the whole 2 days with the guys and got some infos :

* the new bassist is KNIEL and is very friendly and maybe a little bit shy (
comparing to Jaz of course !! )
* they are currently playing UNSPEAKABLE as everybody knows but rehearsed
twice
MONEY IS NOT OUR GOD during the Mulhouse’s soundcheck
* there are no plan to do a common tour with Ministry ( in the French
magazine
VERSUS of April 06, Al Jourgensen is speaking about one )
* they still love French cheeses and wines and Jaz spoke about it at the end
of
the Lyon’s gig and read on stage the paper I wrote to him the day before
when
he learned some French words ha ha ha !!
* Jaz made a signature session at the FNAC (biggest records shop in Lyon)
with
quite a few people
* the lyon’s gig was full ( approx 450 / 500 people )
* Philippe ” Jesus “ (another French bastard) has spent the day off with
them in
Lyon and they have visited our beautiful old town
*At the end of the day off, we spent some times drinking at the TSF’s Bar in
Lyon and then I drove Geordie and his girlfriend Alexandra at home
* Geordie has put the CD of his own demos of Hosannas and we played it loud
in
the car

* We spent 2 hrs1/2 drinking excellent bottles of cold pink French
Champagne,
eating wonderful “Nougats”;
* Geordie was so cool and relaxed and excited (and in love with Alex) ; he
began
to choose some CDs among my collection and we put some Beatles “ I am the
Walrus”, Frank Black “ Los Angeles, Dinosaur Jr etc etc

* I showed to him a DVD of the Belgium broadcast Generation 80 when they
were
playing Unspeakable and Exit with an old Stratocaster + their promos videos
and
he laughed very very much looking to those old pictures ;o)
* We spoke about Stanley Kubrick reading my enormous collector book “
Stanley
Kubrick’s archives”
* During the way back to the bus tour, I let him listening on quite all the
23
covers of Killing Joke’s tracks I have: he enjoyed very much the one with
PINK
( it’s not Cristina Aguilera Sorry Rob !) singing on the original tune and
Mad
Capsule Market and of course Nouvelle Vague for Psyche
* Before leaving, he listened to a famous French rock track of Patrick
Coutin “
J’aime regarder les Filles (it means “I love watching Girls”) and became
very
excited in the car while Alex was sleeping in the back
* I think that we spent an unforgettable day & night and a very amazing one
for
me
* Jaz in Mulhouse and Geordie at home ( so at different moments ) spoke
about a
new recording with Big Paul Ferguson (and Ben of course)
* I told Jaz that the only bands I knew with 2 drummers were Murder Inc and
Ministry and if I remember well, he had a smile and a black eye ;o)))
* have met some nice gatherers ( Marc from Strasbourg and Tom Cavanagh I
knew
from Milano’s gig
* Many Thanks to all the crew and band members, Veronika, Brenda, Alexandra
and
the 2 Kings Jaz & Geordie

Stéphane “ Frenchy Frenzy”
