STEVE STEVENS ON CAMP FREDDY RADIO
Tonight is an all new Camp Freddy Radio, and I will be joined this evening by my guest co-host, Mr Steve Stevens. Responsible for some of the most distinguishable guitar riffs in history (White Wedding or Rebel Yell, anyone?), Steve will be hanging out with me for two hours, between 6pm and 8pm on Indie 103.1 tonight. The temptation to spend two hours talking about the difference between maple and rosewood fretboards, the sonic quality of a Seymour Duncan pick up, and the pro's and con's of a Bradshaw rack mounted switching system will be huge!!! But I shall resist ...... I'll keep it where its usually at ..... chicks, rock n roll, more chicks, television ..... and chicks!!! Tune in tonight or check it out on the web HERE AT INDIE1031.FM.
All quiet around here right now. Camp Freddy are, as previously reported, playing at the House Of Blues on Sunset Strip in August, but its the same event that we played last year (the X-Games thingy) and it is again, a private affair. Didnt stop a few of you last year though, right? I can't say too much (cos we got in trouble last year) but you know who you are and you know what to do!! And Circus Diablo have been writing some more tunes (thanks to the brilliant technology we now have in our lives) - emailing riffs, arrangements and ideas to each other, while Brett is in NYC, Duffy is out in Canada with the Cult, and Ricky and I are in LA!! Its crazy, but we actually are writing like this, and have a week soon planned to all get together in LA and finish off these new tracks (and probably do another photoshoot as well). Behind the scenes, they are working on planning a release date for the album and some dates to match. Won't know any more until the end of next week, but you know you'll get the info here first.
There's a few cool shows coming up soon here in LA. 30 Seconds To Mars play next week, and then The Panic Channel hit the Strip the week afterwards. And my plans for this holiday weekend?..... not a lot. Hang around the house, mess about with these songs we have, maybe do some editing on all that percussion that Stephen Perkins did on our acoustic track. Watch some movies. I'm still hanging on to the 'vacation' feeling as much as I can, because it doesnt last forever! Once that goes, I start running around all day like a headless chicken!! So thats it for now - enjoy CFR (I'll get the podcast up tomorrow when I receive the file from Paul), have a great weekend, and I'll see y'all very soon.
Peace
Billy

You crack me up. :-D I was wondering who would be co-hosting with you tonight since I heard a rumor Mr. Sorum was going to be somewhere else.
I saw 30 seconds to mars when they opened up for the opening band opening for Audioslave at MSG. Low men on the food chain at that show.
AND we caught TPC this Thursday at the Avalon in NYC! AWESOME SHOW! They were so tight. I loved it!
Now get some more CD news to us....06/06/06 is around the corner ya know!

Yes 30 Seconds to Mars...had NO idea it was JARED LETO's band and we walked RIGHT past them doing a signing...didn't recognize him b/c his face was painted as it was the KROCK Halloween show.
Missed ya on CFR the past two weeks Mr. Morrison! Will be good to have you back....you should join us in the chat room for some fun and frivolity!
Was with Robin for the TPC show....amazing....and the guys were all SO nice....
Can't wait to hear the acoustic track and waiting patiently for the announcement regarding 6/6/06.....we NEED to go to the circus...and soon!
