STEVE STEVENS Replaces DAVE NAVARRO In CAMP FREDDY
July 11, 2009, 15 years ago
Billy Morrsion of CAMP FREDDY has issued the following update:
"Camp Freddy is beginning the process of putting the lineup together for the House Of Blues show on August 1st, and I love when we get going like this. It's been a while, so we are all fresh and ready to rock. Dear Dave (Navarro) will be in Europe with JANE'S ADDICTION, so the one and only Mr. Steve Stevens (guitarist for BILLY IDOL) will be ripping it up stage right for the evening. And as usual we will drag along a few friends to spice things up. It's a fun, creative process - and we will also be starting our TV project that same weekend. Can't say too much about that right now but if all goes well, you can look for some Freddy In Your Living Room sometime in 2010.Next week sees a few days of rehearsal and two LA shows with Ginger Wildheart. This has been something that I have been honored and excited to be involved with - I have been listening to those songs for many years, and I will always cite THE WILDHEARTS as the second most important band in my life (number one spot going, of course, to THE SEX PISTOLS). And if Camp Freddy has taught me anything, it's that the song you think you know so well, never actually goes like you think it goes! But I have this set nailed! All Wildhearts songs plus a couple of Ginger solo tracks, I am excited to do this. And somehow, we have arranged FREE PINKBERRY for the first 50 people through the door at the Viper Room - complete with toppings! I have either eaten way too much of that stuff, or they love rock music! But Pinkberry will be there, throwing the best frozen yogurt your way. Haha! Make mine a large original/coconut swirl!
Lots of other stuff swirling around in my universe. Film and TV meetings every week. Oh, and a street date of October 20th for the movie I shot last year, Basement Jack, on DVD. My song, 'Evergreen' is the closing title credits track (I also play Detective Beck in the film) and we shot a cool green screen video for the song, with the director of the movie. This video will be appearing on an Internet near you on the same day as the DVD hits the streets. It's gonna look crazy! Michael has thrown all sorts of weird and wonderful things behind us (that's why we shot it green screen) so I am excited to see the final edit.
Also the Billy Morrison Les Paul model thing is going on - it's currently getting it's first paint job in Nashville which I will see soon for approval. And a solo EP will be released at the same time as the guitar hits the stores (no idea when that will be - this is a long process!). More Freddy for later in the year, another movie to shoot... STOP! I'm getting overwhelmed. Back to today. A sunny day in Los Angeles. Thats all I need."
