KINGDOM COME TALKING WITH DOKKEN ABOUT TEAMING UP FOR EURO TOUR

According to a posting on KINGDOM COME's official web site, KC's tour manager Frank T. is in talks with Don Dokken about a possible KINGDOM COME / DOKKEN European tour. No further details are currently available.

KINGDOM COME's latest studio album, "Ain't Crying For The Moon", was released in Europe on October 20 via Frontiers Records.

"After having done a lot of experimenting with 'Perpetual', I thought it was the time to take out the axe again and rock the house," said Lenny Wolf, the mastermind behind KINGDOM COME. The new CD [is] one of my heaviest recordings ever. I was trying to build 'walls of guitars' in combination with that typical KC moody and spacey approach. It does not have the typical 'blues' factor anymore, which many of you may remember from the first records. I have transported my roots into the year 2006."

PINK FLOYD: ANOTHER BLICK... IN THE MAIL?!

Reported from Pink Floyd website:

Certain people in the Philadelphia area this week had a bit of a surprise when the postman called... a special promotional item for the upcoming Roger Waters concert at the Wachovia Center on June 1st - an item that none of the recipients could possibly ignore!

The brick is made of concrete, measures some 8 inches by 8 inches, and is 2¼ inches thick. Not surprisingly, it weighs a good 10 pounds (around 5 kgs) - so we feel sorry for the postal workers in the area who had to handle these promo items!

With thanks to Christopher Avery, we've got a couple of shots of this item. The CD is shown to give an idea of scale...
