From Flyin' Bri'...

"saw The Manikins link, if youre up for it can you mention they're playin at the Dog 'n' Parrot in Newcastle on 2nd july (with the illlegal movers) 'n' The Fishtank, Durham on 3rd July (with The Loaded Hoods). Both the Movers 'n' Hoods could well be doing selected dates around the UK with The 5678's in August!"

Just saw J's post about Robert Quine. Sad. When in Finyl Vinyl recently, Robert Cohen let me read his short story which was published about his encounter with Quine when Miles Davis died. Quine was one of a kind alright.

The Lazy Cowgirls will play their last show with ace guitarist Michael Leigh on Saturday June 19th at The Thuderbird, 4657 Lankershim Bl. North Hollywood, Ca. (818-766-4644). No news yet on what this means for the future of the band.

While diggin' around for more info on the below, I noticed that Richard Hell's site has a message on te recent passing of Lizzy Mercier Descloux.

RIP: Robert Quine.
