Sandi Thom - Thom Eyes Tunstall Macdonald Collaboration


Singer/songwriter SANDI THOM is eager to join forces with fellow Scots KT TUNSTALL and AMY MACDONALD - insisting they would make the perfect all-girl supergroup.

The 26-year-old is keen to team up with the two successful singers as she is a huge fan of their music - and is honoured to be regularly compared to them.

And the I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker hitmaker is enjoying the pop world at the moment - because it's a great time for British solo female artists.

She tells Scotland's Daily Record newspaper, "KT, Amy, and I do attract a similar type of audience and we all kind of look alike as well. Maybe we should form a supergroup.

"There seems to be a real influx of female singer/songwriters in the charts just now, but we all have our own style and own sound."

Babyshambles and The Rev supergroup announce gig tomorrow (June 21)

Mongrel, the supergroup formed by Babyshambles' Drew McConnell, Reverend And The Makers' Jon McClure and former Arctic Monkey Andy Nicholson are set to play a gig on a carnival float tomorrow (June 21).

The group will perform without Nicholson at Love Music Hate Racism's carnival parade through central London.

McConnell and McClure, joined by British-Iraqi rapper LowKey, are set to play on the back of a mobile float complete with sound system.

The parade will begin at the GLA offices on Tooley Street and will end in Trafalgar Square.

The event follows a stunt by the campaign during which they targeted Greater London Assembly member Richard Barnbrook, who represents the British National Party.

The "mock eviction" yesterday (June 19) saw activitists and several musicians mount a protest at London's City Hall.

"It's quite easy to get caught up in words and to try and over-articulate something very simple," explained Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly's Sam Duckworth. "I don�t want a facist organisation beeing involved in the running of London, or any borough for that matter. Notice is being served; it's time to get the BNP out of the GLA and out of politics altogether."


Sag And Amptp In Open Warfare





The Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers
each issued blistering statements about the other's negotiating tactics Thursday
that suggested that the "de facto strike" that currently has stalled motion picture
production in Hollywood will not be brought to an end soon. SAG's statement said that the
union's leaders believe that it is possible to complete negotiations and secure a
fair deal before the expiration of the current agreement" on June 30. The statement
was issued shortly after union president Alan Rosenberg remarked that he was skeptical
that an agreement could be reached before that date. (Daily Variety reported
that SAG's strategy may be to drag its feet in negotiations until July 7, the day
when results of AFTRA's membership vote on a new contract are announced. SAG has authorized
the expenditure of a reported $150,000 to "educate" AFTRA members about the perceived
shortcomings of its deal with the AMPTP.) In its own statement, the AMPTP said, "Any
effort by SAG to drag out these negotiations past June 30 would be a disservice
to the people in this industry whose livelihoods are being put on hold. SAG's inability
to close this deal has already put the industry into another de facto strike."

Savage Grace was Detroit's reformist tilt band of the previous sixties. With chops galore and a background frozen in nothingness and R&B (with some upright old fashioned Detroit rock'n'roll thrown in for good step), Savage Grace stood kayoed from the rest of the Michigan bands as something special and as something rather eclectic. With Guitarist Ron Koss, keyboardist John Seanor, and drummer Larry Zack as the nucleus of a jazzy triplet called Scarlet Letter (with two albums on Mainstream), the addition of vocalist/bassist Al Jacquez transformed the grouping into Savage Grace. The striation was before long signed to Reprise and released their eponymic debut album in 1969. Upon moving to Los Angeles the next yr, the group embarked on a instant album, which took about 2 days to discharge. By 1972, the train had terminated and the group went their separate shipway. Savage Grace never achieved the success that seemed like their referable; for sure their musicianship was top mountain pass and their songwriting was good enough, simply in the long run, was too mayhap a chip too eclectic to find a mainstream audience.
