Hey all... Laney here...
First up, here's what we've been up to and got coming up.....
Rob Wylde is still busy with SINS OF AMERICA over in Boston USA. They've just released their debut CD which can be ordered through their MySpace Page. The SINS have one show left in 2008 and can be found rocking the house on December 10th at JR's in Rhode Island. Then Rob will be doing a solo acoustic show at the ADC Center in Southbridge, MA. There's sure to be a few TCC Tunes and some rock classics thrown into his set so get along if you can.
Metal Sludge recently did their world famous '10 Questions' with Rob and you can read his no holds barred answers HERE
Finally, Wylde was lucky enough to get to the SELL OUT TRIXTER Concert in New Jersey recently and can be seen in the crowd here! You don't know how jealous I am over this!!

Check out the write up with our old friend CC BANANA who bumped in to Rob at the show.
Jamie is still keeping busy with Irish Rock Legends THE DANGERFIELDS and they're still on track to record their new album early next year.

Spike is currently working with Nottingham band OVERVIBE. Some of you may recognise their Lead Singer / Guitarist as Si Aljewicz who played guitar along with Laney and Spike in COURTESAN back in the day! The band are currently writing new songs and looking for a new bassist to complete their line up but you can add their MySpace Page right HERE.
I've had probably my busiest year yet touring with just about anyone who'll have me! I recently completed my second UK / European Tour with THE BULLETBOYS and it was an absolutely awesome experience. You can read my Diary right HERE if you have time.
To end the year I've got two shows with DIP. The first at Junktion 7 on December 18th (more on that later) and a final Christmas Show at The Royal Oak in Cotmanhay as part of the Revolution Night.

So 2008 is nearly over and Teenage Casket Company have stayed pretty much silent other than our 'One Night Only' show at J7 back in July. For those that missed that gig most of the songs are HERE
This year has gone so fast and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who have asked me... 'So, what's happening with TCC?'
I've tried to give the most honest answer which is 'I don't really know!'
I'm sure a fair few people out there think we've split up and aren't together anymore and that's not true. As things stand right now, Wylde will be returning from a year in the USA this Christmas and work will begin on new TCC material. He's told me he has a shed load of songs ready to go which I'm looking forward to hearing. What 2009 will hold in store for us though I return to the words 'I don't really know!' We'll be picking what we do next - very carefully.
Things have changed so much over the past couple years. Things are very different in 'our scene' or whatever you want to call it, the music industry in general and even between the four of us as a band. We've each moved on so much personally since our last tour and we each have different agendas and priorities so who knows?
I'm excited about the prospect of another TCC Album, personally I think we owe it to ourselves and to the few of you out there who constantly ask what we're up to. We've had people say they'd love to work with us on making it as big and exciting as possible which is really cool. So we'll see what happens.
Thank you all so much for your patience and continued support both in TCC and everything we are involved in. It really means a lot to each of us.
As Jamie put it so brilliantly a while ago... 'The TCC Flame still burns!'

Finally, most of you may have already heard but one of Nottingham's premier music venues is closing down at the end of the year. I don't know the whole story and reasons behind it but it will be a very sad day when Junktion7 closes it's doors for one final time on New Years Eve. TCC played their very first gig there... we played there 3 times on The Erotics Brawl For It All Tours... headlined the very first TRASH-STOCK festival and played the sell out event a couple of years later. We have A LOT of memories invested in that place.

I hope you'll all join us for one last blow out Riot Promotions show on December 18th as DIP take to the stage along with our friends Patchwork Grace, Zen Motel, Disarm and the James Warner Prophecies. Best of all this gig is Free as a thank you to everyone!
See you in 2009!!!!!
Love to you all....
Laney
