WILDHEARTS' Ginger On New MICHAEL MONROE Album - "We Definitely Don't Want To Make A Generic Rock N' Roll Album So Expect Something Great"
April 17, 2010, 14 years ago
WILDHEARTS mainman Ginger has issued the following update:
"Myself and Steve Conte (NEW YORK DOLLS) will be heavily involved in writing the new MICHAEL MONROE (ex-HANOI ROCKS) album, along with messrs Monroe and (Sami) Yaffa (ex-Hanoi Rocks) - as well as some special guest writers. We definitely don't want to make a generic rock n' roll album so expect something great.The Wildhearts are just taking a break to hang with family or make new music. We'll be back. I think most of you already suspected/assumed this.
Solo material will surface depending on label advances. Studios and techs aren't charities. Still, the longer it takes to record something new the more songs I have at my disposal. Expect the dam to release a tidal wave of stuff once it breaks.
Oh, and that Patience And Gratitude YouTube thing was just some fun knocked up in a day.
Michael's band are really amazing live, you're in for a real treat, believe me.
Me? I'm just loving my little guitar/side man vacation after 20 years of frontman/vocal duties. Everyone deserves a holiday, right?"
