June Long Weekend Launch for Rumours CD
The Sydney launch for "All Your Love", the debut CD for Brisbane band Mick Medew & The Rumours, is on Sunday, June 7 at The Vanguard in Newtown. It's a showcase gig at one classy joint - you can even get a sit-down meal. Tickets are procurable here.
Supports will be Decline of the Reptiles and Ghost Valley. Decline are the reformed Sydney band who have killed it in their first two comeback gigs. Mick Medew, of course, was leader of the Screaming Tribesmen who should need no introduction to fans of the good stuff. Ghost Valley are a bunch of kids with an old man called Ashley Thomson on drums who go pretty well.
And yes, the album is on I-94 Bar Records and, yes, it is a killer. So good you can pre-order it here and score it before it hits retail. It'll be distributed in Australia by Fuse and overseas by Off The Hip.
Brisbane launch details when they come to hand.

Mick Medew and The Rumours join the I-94 Bar Records label
Australian label I-94 Bar Records is delighted to announce the signing of Brisbane band Mick Medew & The Rumours.
The Rumours have been an off-and-on concern in their hometown for five years, scoring some choice supports but only recently landing themselves in the studio to cut their debut album.
Featuring one half of The Screaming Tribesmen and two guys who should have been there all along, The Rumours are everything you remember and hold dear about good rock 'n' roll guitar music: hooks, chops and melody.
Vocalist-guitarist Mick Medew is one of Brisbane's underground rock and roll elder statesmen with a history spanning the internationally-signed Tribesmen, seminal legends The 31st and more recently The Bluebirds.
Guitarist Ash Geary was a member of latter-day Tribesmen line-ups and '90s blues-rockers The Lost Boys and also plays with Brisbane-via-The Bowery gutter punks JJ Speedball.
The engine room is manned by Paul Hawker on bass and newcomer Adam Cole on drums.
Their as yet untitled album is being recorded at Black Box Studios in Brisbane under the production hand of friend Jeff Lovejoy and is scheduled for release in late 2008 or early '09.
The Rumours' sound isn't a million miles away from that of the Screaming Tribesmen - Mick's distinctive vocal and the well-honed twin-guitar Medew-Geary crunch inevitably make it so - but there's a little more more room to move in the songs.
Citing a long list of influences including MC5, Thin Lizzy, Roky Erickson, Blue Oyster Cult, the New York Dolls, David Bowie, The Dictators and Manitoba's Wild Kingdom, The Rumours recall all those touchstones but apply their own take.
Mick Medew & The Rumours join Klondike's North 40 (featuring Hitmen and ex-Radio Birdman guitarist Chris Masuak) on I-94 Bar Records.
They'll support the Hitmen on selected dates of that band's "Monkeys Gone Wild" national tour with gigs at Coolangatta Hotel on the Gold Coast on November 28 and The Living Room in Brisbane on November 29.

Pathway to Financial Oblivion (2)
Slight return: I-94 Bar Records WON'T be putting out the newie from Sonny Vincent. Due to some changed circumstances beyond our control, we've pulled out. That doesn't mean the label's stillborn. There are a few ideas in the air and stay tuned when they come off.

Pathway to Financial Oblivion
That's what they call indie record labels. Nevertheless, I-94 Bar Records is a happening thang and the first release, "Switchblade Summer" by New York punk luminary Sonny Vincent, is about a month away.
More info if you're curious here and we done created one of those myspace thingies too. There's even a song to download.
