MELDRUM, featuring former PHANTOM BLUE guitarist Michelle Meldrum, have issued the following update:

"Hey all you crazy Meldrumheads!!!!

There’s tons of exciting stuff goin’ on in the Meldrum camp.

The video for Purge with Gene Hoglan slamming on the drums is now up on our MySpace page. Directed by a killer new upcoming dude by the name of Levan TK. A low res. version is now avaiable on YouTube, and a high res. version to be posted on our new website which should be done in the next few weeks.

The new merchandise page is up, including your chance to buy the new Meldrum CD, Blowin' Up The Machine signed by the girls !!!

Blowin’ Up The Machine is invading Europe this week with great reviews, the girls are doing tons of interviews for the release. The exact date for the US release soon to be announced. It will be released on Locomotive Records with Ryko/Warner Distribution.

Also the girls have been writing and recording a bunch of new songs for the cd with Gene Hoglan slamming on the drums. They will begin tracking drums this summer so the cd can be out no later than fall 2008. Leaving time for touring and all that in between of course!

On a sad note…Michelle’s long time friend John Aldrete (aka Juan Alderete) bassist for RACER X and THE MARS VOLTA was recently diagnosed with a rare blood disease. We encourage anyone to donate to the research of this rare disease. You can read more about his condition here…
