NEWS - 2005

19th Dec 2005

The debut Whysall Lane album should appear February 2006, Midheaven and Amazon have it on pre-order and I'm lucky enough to have snagged a copy (thank you, Mikel!) and have posted details on the home page. Further info and samples can be found on the Midheaven site.

In the meantime, Happy Holidays to everyone !

03rd Oct 2005

Seems that Blackball Records will be releasing the long-awaited Whysall Lane album, tentatively scheduled for Feb / Mar 2006 - you can see some possible artwork for it over on their site. Also, Whysall Lane have set themselves up on MySpace.com - go pay them a visit round about here, check out some pictures and 3 tracks currently being streamed. My thanks to Bret Anderson for the heads-up.

09th Apr 2005

Looks like +/- appear on a split EP with the Bloodthirsty Butchers, coming out on Columbia records later this month in Japan. Details here, and thanks to Justin in Australia for the info.

17th Mar 2005

More stunning TB20 photos - TFT, +/- and Versus.

10th Mar 2005

Andy Eason sent me some great photos of Versus, +/- and TFT from TB20 - you can find them here. There are some more to be found on this page. Check out a Washington City Paper review of TB 20 while you can, and keep an eye on Bradleys Almanac for TFT, +/- & Versus TB20 MP3s.

+/- head to Austin TX for the South-By-South-West Festival later this month.

26th Feb 2005

Word has it that Versus played the whole of The Stars Are Insane from start to finish for their TB20 appearance - more when I get it (and thanks Andy Eason).

08th Feb 2005

Whysall Lane appear at NoisePop 2005. $25 on the night, $22.50 in advance.

04th Feb 2005

Some news from James - Fontaine and Richard were indeed working on a new Versus cut over the holiday break and it's *possible* it may appear in the Teenbeat set. The forthcoming Whysall Lane album is "days from completion", with James mixing and co-producing. Richard has also revealed that he'd like to make another Versus record....

Brad Lehman pointed me to the Urban Jetset web site, where Fontaine, Andy Cheung and Chris Deaner are interviewed. Fontaine gives a very definitive answer about the status of Versus too. There's also a cool piece on Teenbeat that's worth a read.

24th Jan 2005

Well, a Happy New Year to you all! Not much to report I'm afraid, although I did see on the Enchante Records web-site that Fontaine had mentioned Versus were "writing a new song this week". Mmmm.... Anybody going to the Teenbeat shows could let me have some photos ? Please get in touch if you can. Thanks !
