Hi all,

Just a quick note as we fast approach 2008. The band have been busy sorting things for next year.

Early 2008 will see a load of dates across Germany, Austria and Switzerland - throughout February and early March. The band hope to be confirming a load of european festivals in the summer of 2008 also.

There are still plans to get out to Australia, France, Portugal and Spain also - more news to follow.

"61" will also finally get a UK release - probably April 2008 time. There will be some select UK gigs also - definitely a London show (and hopefully some supports also).

Tim, Bill and Duff are also starting to work on new material - expect this to be showcased throughout 2008. Plans are to record in late 2008 for a new album in early 2009. Would love to tell you what direction, but the band don't know yet!

They are keeping busy with other bits also. Tim is working on solo material. Duff is still playing guitar with Dogzilla (www.myspace.com/dogzillaofficial) and both Bill and Duff are playing with the mighty Rock, Onic and Bob (ukulele covers trio - www.myspace.com/rockonicandbob).

Duff's label maybe Records are also swinging back into gear and looking to release at least 2 (and possibly more) records in 2008 - www.myspace.com/mayberecords. will let you know as soon as we do

Thanks to everyone for your sup[port again this year. Here's top a happy happy year and a cool 2008

thanks
Carl

Hi all,

2JJJ Radio campaign. We have pushed here and we need to get the fans now to go to the 2JJJ site and register and request more Belasco. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT that we get the fan base mobilised to continually register and tune in to 2JJJ. This is the station that will break them here.

Hi all,

Sorry it's been a while since the last update. Just some news wanted to pass on

The band have confirmed some dates in Germany in September - Ratingen, Berlin, Essen and Laupheim - see gig profile for details.

They are also looking to get back to Portugal in October for a run of dates and to Australia before the year is out.

The boys have started working on new material also - the plan being to trya nd record before the end of 2007 to realease something in early 2008.

They have all been keeping busy

Tim is working on some solo material with Richie Kayvan (who produced 61). Duff is also playing guitar with Richie's alter ego Dogzilla (see myspace friends). Dogzilla have gigs coming up in Ireland, Moscow and Amsterdam. Bill is meanwhile flexing his creative muscles designing and building log cabins.
