MICHAEL MONROE - "I've Really Missed Playing A Lot Of My Solo Stuff"
January 22, 2010, 14 years ago
MICHAEL MONROE, former frontman for HANOI ROCKS, has issued the following update:
"I've been in LA now for almost two weeks rehearsing with my new band and it's going great! The band is sounding killer and we're having a really good time working and stuff. I'm really happy and excited about this. Next week you also will know who's in the band. We've already got about an album's worth of material written and rehearsed, but we're still gonna write some more, as we're in no hurry to get into the studio until some time during the spring to record the album. We do wanna release something before the summer, though. If not the whole record, at least a couple of songs or so. We're also rehearsing the live set and I must say I've really missed playing a lot of my solo stuff over the past few years. Especially songs from Not Fakin' It and Demolition 23. The plan is to start playing live shows in March.Of course the weather in LA has been horrible just for this time that I'm here. Apparently it hasn't rained like this for over 20 years or so, but what the hell - you gotta love it! Surely it's a bit scary with the storm warnings and stuff. The Haiti disaster is really disturbing too. I'm glad so many rich people here are actually doing a lot about it to help.
Other than that, Hollywood is Hollywood and you do see a lot of interesting characters on the streets around here.
Anyway, stay with us because these are really exciting times!"
