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

"Hello hot boys and nasty girls!!!!

The girls are kickin’ it back in Sweden, writing and recording for the new Meldrum album. We know, the new album Blowin' Up The Machine is not even out yet in the States, it will hit the stores September 11th, but we like to keep ourselves busy. We are frantic workers and are full of ideas after having writing sessions with Mr Gene Hoglan. We wrote some killer tunes together that will make the world go crazy.

Talking about going crazy, The girls went to see Ozzy and BLS play in Helsinki, Finland. It was an amazing show! Hanging out with our brothers, we had a really good time. It’s hard to believe it was two years ago we came off that three month major ass kickin’ crazy as hell world tour, and four years since we first played together, but it is always like seeing them yesterday. We showed Zakk our new video for 'Purge' and he was really proud of us !!!! Good times dudes and dudettes, good times….

There are some photos from that night on www.myspace.com/meldrumrocks and also our new video. But first things first, go get yer copy of Blowin' Up The Machine…we´ve got some great fucking reviews that can be read on our MySpace. We will have a brand new stylish website up pretty soon at www.meldrum.nu so just hold your horses, it’s definitely worth waiting for!!!!

Make sure you join our street team, get your email on our malinglist, and make a request for Meldrum to come to your city and gooooooo craaaaazy (like Ozzy would have said it) and we also have some really cool Meldrum packages with T-shirts, DVD and CD for all of you who have a heart and want to give some love to a friend..hehehe, check it out on MySpace.

Also, Meldrum will have a release party July 11th for Blowin Up The Machine in Stockholm at Club Helter Skelter at Västgötagatan 4 (at Ett ställe på Södermalm) You gotta make that you Swedes!!!! If you can't you have another chance in Gävle Friday July 13th at Club Monster at O´Learys......or you will find Meldrum July 14th the day after in Hudiksvall at Tre Bockar. When the CD comes out in the states we definitely be doing some shows there, too. See you guys out there! There is nowhere to fucking hide, were gonna hunt you down!

Till next time STAY HARD."
