Rumor has it that VIRGIN STEELE'S David DeFeis will be doing a special "live rehearsal-gig" with EXORCIST drummer "Geoff Fontaine" also known as Mark Edwards, on Saturday Evening, November 14th at the new VILLAGE PUB in Lindenhurst, NY.  This new group also features bass player extraordinaire Bonnie Parker, and the wild guitar stylings of Denny Colt. Denny has played in Dee Snider's "VAN HELSING'S CURSE", and both Bonnie and Denny have toured the World with their bands TANG & SHE WOLF.
Rounding out this ensemble is Lynn Delmato on keyboards. Both Lynn & Geoff/Mark have previously played with David in CARNIVAL OF SOULS, (check the archives on the VS Site: www.virgin-steele.com for more info. about that.

On this Night the group will be playing both known and obscure covers and various other strange things. According to rumor they are actually also calling this group with its current line up “CARNIVAL OF SOULS”...but...no one is really 100% sure, as the group is being very secretive about their activities.

I did hear them rehearsing on Halloween, and it was quite astounding! I hope to see you there on the 14th...

The VILLAGE PUB is located at:
174 North Wellwood Ave. Lindenhurst, NY 11757

for more information please call: (631) 592-4260 ask for TC.


OTHER NEWS:
VIRGIN STEELE is deeply involved in completing all the basic tracks for their next 2 albums. The Group had a bit of a set back due to various label issues, & drummer Frank Gilchriest's ankle injury, but they are more than back on track now, and are roaring away at a furious pace. They hope to complete all recordings over the next weeks and begin mixing by late December...

A Royal "Thanks very much to you ALL", for your great Faith, & Support!

Current mood:  sad
We were greatly saddened today to learn of the terrible earthquake in Central Italy...Our Hearts Go Out To All Our Friends In Italy and all our Friends here and elsewhere who have lost loved ones in this catastrophe...It has been an honor for Virgin Steele to return year after year to this beautiful country, your loss affects us deeply and we mourn along with you...We would like to leave this little poem here in hope that it might provide a bit of comfort.......

A Poem For The Grieving
 ....

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the soaring Hawk in flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
....

 ....

With deepest sympathies and sincere condolences,....

 ....
David, Edward, Frank and Josh...Virgin Steele
