Hi Everybody
I'm Andy from Motor Sounds Records, you might know me from other classic Motor Sounds Records mail outs such as "Motor Sounds Records mail out 10" or who can forget "Motor Sounds Records mail out 9" and I wanna tell you about what's going on here at Motor Sounds Towers.

First of all, the wonderful Rusty Springfield album - "Please don't dance whilst holding drinks" is now due to be released in March, the delays were due to extreme incompetence on my part and completely avoidable, I've suitably chastised myself and awarded myself a demerit, one more and I'm out the fucking door.

The album is available now through the website www.motorsoundsrecords.com where you can pick up a free mp3 from the record, and available in the shops from March.

******************Next up, we've booked a few Irish gigs for THE BONNEVILLES & [D-66], its a real double wammy, both Punk Blues luminaries (I don't even know what that word means) are rightly delighted at getting to play a few dates together, The Bonnevilles are using the dates to launch their debut album "Good Suits and Fighting Boots" and it will be [D-66]s' first time playing in Ireland, so if you want to have a uniquely sleazy experience, you should try and get to one of these gigs.

************** Also as I've mentioned already, The Bonnevilles are due to release the old debut on Motor Sounds Records in April, titled "Good Suits and Fighting Boots" various gigs, tours, shows and what have you will be arranged to hawk the damn thing to try and make some money back and who knows, maybe we'll pull ourselves of the bottom of the top 50 list "HOW TO RUN A RECORD LABEL INTO THE GROUND". I believe we're currently vying for 50th position with the bloke that signed Sigue Sigue Sputnik and the fella who said Rock n Roll wouldn't last when turning down The Beatles.

Come on kids with your help we can regain a sliver of dignity, unlikely, but try we must.

*************Chris Jacks, the genius that is The Routes is working on a new material and should see something for us all to enjoy later on in the year as is Craig Campbell of Rock n Roll Monkey and the Robots, both will hopefully be putting something out on Motor Sounds Records, so stay tuned for that.

Thats all the news for now kids. I hope you can make it to a few shows and buy lots and lots of our records.

Stay in touch and be cool
Andy
