CHRIS THOMPSON: A message from...

I have been remiss! I had no idea that Chris Thompson's website had been given a revamp, or - indeed - that there was a new personal message from Chris on it. All you CT fans out there, please forgive me. So, six weeks late, here it is...

July, 4th 2012

Dear All,

Well the new web site is up, (thank you Michael and Joe) so I guess it’s time for a new message!

Finally the CD / DVD project from Berlin and Aschaffenburg is released and should now be available in stores. It’s 2 live CDs from a Berlin Radio show plus a DVD of 7 songs from Aschaffenburg and 4 songs from Dexheim. I think it’s a great representation of our current “Live Show” with Mads, Frank, Gunnar and Zsolt. It took such a long time to get it finished and mixed, that in putting the liner notes and CD information together, the song list for the Berlin concert was copied from the original set list. I didn’t spot this, so once again Demolition Man appears as part of the concert, but because of the Radio program time constraints, at the last minute we didn’t play it. Sorry about that!

Anyway after much trial and tribulation it is out, so I hope you enjoy it. Of course as it was recorded early 2011, we are already playing new and different songs, in fact our aim now is to never play the same show twice, so if you want to see the new songs you’ll have to join us on our October tour. The dates for this are up on our gig page. We are all looking forward to it.

Since I wrote last, I have been doing a variety of things.

Putting the finishing touches to my mystery project, the very different one, by recording an original song and an unoriginal song! It is all mixed now and ready to go. As we recorded new tracks, it will now be released in August. I did a photo shoot for the front cover yesterday, so apart from choosing a photo and designing the booklet everything is completed. I am really excited by this one.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
