THE PANIC CHANNEL / ex-JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro has issued the following update:

"I really have the best job in the world! Stuff cranking over here. We are getting ready to re-launch Spread TV. Yes, the show went from Spread Entertainment to Spread and now to Spread TV. It was a necessary move as all of the 'Spreads' get a little confusing to people. Now it should be clear that there is Spread TV, Spread Radio Live and The Spread Group. They all fall under The Spread Entertainment umbrella.

Coming up on the next few episodes in April we have none other than Dave Mustaine form MEGADETH, Margaret Cho and Shelly Sprague, the hot counselor from Celebrity Rehab. Shelly heard that I was considering relapsing just to check in and be counseled by her, so she agreed to be on the show to help me keep it together. Always giving back that Shelly! Dave Mustaine? Are you kidding? We have been trying to get him as a guest since we started up, so we couldn't be more pumped about his appearance. Margaret is a friend of the show and we can't wait to have her back. All this and new music, arts and issues. Plus, our set will be totally revamped. I know that some people have complained that we aren't over at The Dragonfly anymore, but hey, we don't own that place and they were kind enough to let us run the show from there for quite a long time.

Today (March 22nd) Billy Morrison and I are back for an all new Camp Freddy Radio. As you know, Camp Freddy, the band, are doing a residency at LA's Roxy Theater during the month of May, every Thursday night. We have decided to do a contest to find our opening acts. DO NOT ask me directly via MySpace or 6767 as the decision is not mine alone to make. Yes, I have been hit up about this already by many bands. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we have to keep it fair!

So here's the deal:

-- Send all submissions to RoxyContest@mac.com
-- You MUST include: three songs, two YouTube videos, a MySpace page or a website, a mini-bio and a photo. A radius clause will be in place so the bands performing cannot have anything booked for 30 days within a 30 mile radius. -- Bands must be available to play any of the five Thursdays in May.
-- Submission cut off is March 27th, 2008; winners will be notified April 1st, 2008."
