Word is that the Excelsior label is planning to reissue the 1980 'A Treat Of New Beat' LP by legendary Dutch band The Rousers. A classic slice of punk/powerpop, this disc has remained in obscurity way too long, and it's good to learn it'll be finally gettin' the red carpet treatment it deserves; 'cause work is bein' done on a full-length documentary to be included as a bonus DVD in the package. Anyone with access to video and or filmed material of the band is encouraged to contact us, and we'll pass on the info.
OK. I'm back and I know why I'm a little jumpy about going anyplace these days. Fact is that there's never enough time and ergo a lot of unfinished "business" is the result. People have schedules and these have a tendancy to conflict. Reality is a nonstop kick in the stones alright. All in all though, we had a bloody chuffing ball and I salute those of our extended family that we did see. More of which later...

Meanwhile lets get back to the purpose of all this, to connect you folks with the stuff you need as a regular transfusion, perhaps antidote to the shit you get fed on a day to day basis...

"Ross McIntyre and Martin Percival, who run Rezillos.com on behalf of the band, will be interviewing the Rezillos next month for an exclusive interview to appear on the band's site. This is your chance to ask the Rezillos those questions you've been waiting half a lifetime to ask!!! Please keep it to the Rezillos (no Revillos, Shake, Human League etc at this stage). They're looking to strike a balance in the questions between looking back at the 76-78 era as well as 2001 and forwards. They'll give a name check, of course, for everyone who has questions asked in the interview. The best place to post the questions is on the Yahoo
Groups Rezillos site: RIGHT HERE.
