OFFICIAL BRMC TOUR BLOG
We have launched the official BRMC Tour Blog.
We will be updating it regularly with video footage, performances,
backstage stuff and photos from our tour in Europe happening now...
You can sign up for free for both the video and photo podcasts that will be posted....
The first 3 shows have been great and we appreciate all the support
from everyone that has come down and has sent us messages or talked to
us afterwards...
See you soon
BRMC
To all of you who have read or heard about Nick's myspace posting, Peter and I would like to clarify a few things from our perspective.
It's true, Nick wont be joining us for the upcoming European tour, but
it's not true that he is fired. We just feel Nick needs time to sort
out exactly what he wants right now. His heart and all his energy and
attention is on his own solo project and he needs to see that through.
We welcome his singing and songwriting in BRMC, but his focus, at least
at the present time, is on doing his own thing and we wish him the best.
He is our brother, our musical partner, and we love him dearly and look forward to playing with him again in the future.
From,
Robert & Peter
MESSAGE FROM NICK
I just had dinner with Rob and Pete and, well, I'm not in the band
anymore. They are going into rehearsals tomorrow with Leah, she just
finished touring with The Raveonettes and is super nice and cool. They
presented it to me like they need a break, I took it as I am fired
again and to be honest with you I respect their decision. I don't make
it easy for them, I hope to be able to play with them again in the
future as a reunion as there is really no bad feeling other than we all
wanna be happy and right now we are not. Maybe playing drums for BRMC
all the time is not my calling and there is something else I'm supposed
to do. We will see. I’m sorry to all the fans and know that the drums
are in good hands with Leah. Find her at http://www.myspace.com/deadcombosound
My best
hope to see you soon.

A MESSAGE FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Dec 19, 2007
Hey Everyone,
We're all in Israel right now, just finished a whole year of touring our asses off.
Thank you to everyone for coming out and supporting us this year, you have no idea what it means to us.
We put everything we have into this and you always give it back. We haven't even had a record label in the UK for a while now (parted ways with Island months ago), you guys have always been the ones that carry us year after year, so it doesn't really slow us down.
This year was probably the best time we've had on the road. Never seen so many people come from all around the world to make this whole thing come alive.
We'll be in Australia and Japan in a couple weeks. I think it's been 4 years since we've played over there. We're gonna play a couple more songs from Howl album since we didn't make it there last time.
Oh yeah, Peter has left a gift for all of you on our website, but it won't be available till christmas day.
Take care of each other.
From
Robert/BRMC
The latest release from BRMC, Baby 81, has been chosen by iTunes of one of the best albums of 2007.
The band feature alongside Bjork, The Shins and The White Stripes for the prestigious honor of Editors Choice for Alternative Album.
Baby 81 has been chosen by Spin as one of the best albums of 2007:
"A lucky 13 tracks and not a single dud among them -- this may well be the year's best bargain. Initially dubbed a Jesus and Mary Chain knockoff, the Los Angeles-based trio have finally found their druggy groove, four albums into a clove-smoke-choked career. On their most sophisticated set yet, the bloozegaze anthems are coated in an insidiously infectious pop veneer. From the mesmeric "Berlin" to the levee-breaking "666 Conducer," it's time to raise a glass (drop a tab?) to the new classic rock."
AMERICAN X - STOCKED STORES
A list of stores is available detailing all of the locations which have stocked the American X EP.

AMERICAN X: BABY 81 SESSIONS - AVAILABLE DECEMBER 4TH
This is going to be a limited edition run for indie retail in the US starting December 4th. Click on the above image to find out where you can pick it up from. There are plans to release it in Canada and Australia. We'll have more information on that soon for you. For all our friends and supporters in the UK, Europe and Japan, don't worry. We're planning on having them for sale on the road and on our web store.
We're proud of all our songs, even the ones that don't make it on the final album, they have a life force of their own... And we simply wanted to find a way of getting those songs out there.
As well as this short 9 minute film we created for "American X" with our friend and visionary artist Jamie Dagg, with whom we believe in and even paid out of our own pockets to get this released.
The strange thing is that for every album we've recorded there's at least twice as many songs that never see the light of day. So someday, hopefully when we're dead, maybe someone will unearthed all of it remember that, hey maybe those 3 strange kids that all dressed in black weren't so bad after all.
The track listing is:
01. "The Likes Of You"
02. "Vision"
03. "The Show's About To Begin"
04. "MK Ultra"
05. "Whenever You're Ready"
06. "20 Hours"
07. "Last Chance For Love"
08. "American X" (short film)
