Attention male & female fans of the American rock combo 'Gossip'! We are happy to announce the
U.S. release of our album 'Music for (American) Men'! Sorry about the delay but we have been flying around the world with the master tapes and we finally decided to turn them in.
We are celebrating the
U.S. release by also chucking in a bonus track called 'The Breakdown'. We were inspired after recording the lp with Rick so we decided to record another song. We feel creatively on fire, so we just kept it rolling, found a good clavinet, turn the flanger on the hi-hat and we hope you enjoy the outcome?We were listening to The Beatles reissues and watching Old Grey Whistle test videos and it was hot (as usual in Malibu too).
We are currently in a hotel in L.A. and we have yet to use the pool (are we secretly a goth band?). The US tour is going to be truly killer as that we are taking our friends with us (Men, Apache Beat, The Girls) and driving across the land of Denny's and Taco Bell to sweat on you and paw our way into your hearts. Will you accept us? If you don't, we can't blame you. We really hope to see all of you on this American tour. Please invite us to your houses for delicious meals, ask us to dj your parties and throw mix tapes at us on stage (i swear we will listen to them).
We are going back to our homeland (Arkansas) where we will spend ample time hanging out with our fam, eating pizza, watching them drink (lots and lots) of beer and a gun will probably be shot off by Nathans' dad and Beth's sister will yell at the moon!
We are truly happy with the results of the 'Music for (American) Men' long player and we hope that you will be too. We hope you think of it as a real, full gift from us. We slaved over every aspect of the lp (the design, the lyrics, the sounds) and hope you feel like it's a secret letter from us to you. We hope it's easy for you to opening (will that ever change about cd's?) and if you have the vinyl just use the "slide-it-across-yr-leg" thing if your into keeping it shrink-wrapped. The compact disc can also make a great mirror or coaster!
It is time for us to take our afternoon group nap before playing tonight so with that in mind, please keep on fighting the good fight and if your fighting a bad fight please stop and rethink what you are doing?
-Yours Forever,
Gossip
