Jim Bob Book Tour

Not actually a Carter USM tour, but still...

Ex Carter USM singer JIM BOB tours again in MAY playing his usual mix of new
solo material and old Carter classics.



He will also be reading extracts from his fantastic new Carter autobiography
"GOODNIGHT JIM BOB - On The Road With Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine" published by CHERRY RED BOOKS and in the shops in June.



The book tells the story of Jim's ten years gigging with Carter and very
funny it is too.



Jim captures the very essence of life on and off the road for the 90s' least
likely pop stars. Like you, I was there, and this book takes me right back.
A good dash of Hammer Of The Gods, a healthy glug of Ian Hunter's Diary Of A
Rock 'n' Roll Star, and absolutely no trace of Sting's Broken Music, this
book will mean a lot to anyone who fought the indie rock wars."
Andrew Collins (Writer and Broadcaster)



Jim Bob will be signing and selling special advance copies of the book on
the tour.

Brrr, new Shivaree single

It's called "Goodnight Moon"...

Shivaree have a new single out, the first from the ridiculously titled "I oughtta give you a shot in the head for making me live in this dump".

Sounds a bit like Texas, but with more of an American twang, a twist of Nick Cave in there too.

On the press release there's a quote from the St Paul Pioneer Press saying "She sounds timeless, but utterly of her time"... so what is that all about?

No you can't have it, I'm keeping it... competition for Suede CDs coming up soon...

Shivaree Winners

Two lucky punters won tickets for tonight's show at Dingwalls...

Zesty Pete and Visage (a winning 2 step / garage act name if ever I heard one) are the two lucky winners of tickets for tonight's Shivaree show at Dingwalls...



They also get a copy of the album "I oughta give you a shot in the head for making me live in this dump", or something... Goodnight Moon, the forthcoming single from this album is Jo Whiley's single of the week for this week.



Tonight is a FINE night in the cosmopolis for gigging action, so if you're not going to Shivaree, or Amen, Five, Foo Fighters, Shane McGowan or Savage Garden, then you can always join me at the Fighting Cocks show at Dublin Castle...
