I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
I had a weird day yesterday. A family funeral was followed by the extremely bizarre (yet awesome) Jonny Awsum show, and finished up with an altercation outside a nightclub. I know, I know, my own fault for trying to get into Bacchus in Kingston (nothing else was open), but yeah, they're cunts, avoid at all costs.
The good people at Radio 1 have put up a cool couple of video interviews I did with my good friend Mike Davies when I was in Los Angeles last month. They can be found on their website here. Was I drunk after the Viper Room show? Yes I was.
I'm trying to get in touch with a guy called Callum. He keeps mailing me but I can't mail him back because o his privacy settings. I'd usually avoid posting this kind of thing publicly, but given that he seems to think I'm an arsehole for not replying, it's starting to get on my nerves. If anyone knows this guy and has a way of contacting him, can you ask him to email me? Thanks.
As some people have already found out, there's a plan afoot at the moment to re-release the first Million Dead album, "A Song To Ruin", sometime before the end of this year, with the fabled live DVD that never was. The guys at Xtra Mile have decided it's time, and some legal disputes have been cleared up to everyone's satisfaction, so it looks like this is actually going to happen. I don't have a date yet. I'm pretty happy about this - that record is totally out of print, and personally I prefer it (marginally) to "Harmony No Harmony". I mention this now because I'm interested in anyone who has any photos of MD tattoos. In particular I'm trying to get hold of Simon from Sevenoaks, who had a great MD tattoo on his back. Drop me a line if you can help.
Finally, I'm confirmed to play at the difficult-to-spell Pitka Kuuma Kesa Festival in Helsinki on June 27th. At last, I'm going to Finland.

My wife pointed out that in the Dan's Song video, until he plays harmonica, having Chris T-T stood there makes Frank look like a busker with only one very sullen fan...
I have a couple of MD tattoos - do you want pics emailed to you?
Speaking of tattoos, you're going to end up with a map of the US - hell, the world - on your arm at this rate ;-)
YAY for song to ruin re-release :) some dick head stole my copy. Jonny Awsum show was well weird, but you played very well for only having 5 strings!
I really hope you have better luck with the gig in Finland this time, third time's the charm! It's a bummer that the tickets for 2 days are 90 euros though but maybe I'll see you there.
Great news about the re-release.
Oddly enough, i had a family funeral on tuesday aswell.
For fucks sake Frank, why do you have to come to Finland on my wedding day? I was so totally bummed out on both previous occasions when you couldn't come! I've been so looking forward to seeing you here and wouldn't even mind the ticket price, but you had to pick the weekend I'm getting married.
56 € is a bit expensive, but I guess I have no choice. According to the Pitkä kuuma kesä (it means Long, hot summer in English, not that we actually have one in Finland) it's your first visit to Finland btw.
Same day as Social Distortion, and even better - The Melvins.
I wonder how much it is to go to Finland...
AHH yeah, Finland! Thank you! Hope this time you'll make it. This totally saved my summer.
Awesome on the re-release! And DVD, bloody right son!
That will be one re-release that i won't mind re-buying because it is one of my favourite albums of ALL TIME!
I've recently caught the tattoing buzz and was thinking of some MD lyrics or RATM ones, but am curious to see what other people have first, might give me some ideas. Maybe get Franks face looking disproving at you...maybe not
"some dick head stole my copy"
At least that theif has taste!
Re-release AND DVD?! Hells yeah!
