ITS A FREDDY XMAS

I'll be back here with a full post at the weekend, with a V-Blog from the show last night. But I wanted to let you guys be the first to know that Camp Freddy have just finished their Xmas single, a cover of Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody, and we are hoping to get it up online in a week or two. I have just left the studio having mixed all day, and it sounds great. More details to follow.

that sounds totally "killah!" very happy for you and the rest of the gang. i was very bummed that i couldn't get into the o.c. gig...even though it was private, and even though your take was that this area is very "sterile." well...it is rather vacuuous...HAHAHAHA...hoping very much to be able to get my passport in order to breach to "orange curtain" and make it for the indie 103 show at avalon on dec 7...thank you and navarro, sorum, etal for many, many inspirations and entertainments...

Yay! Xmas present!! This makes me happy..
but then I'm incredibly sad. The CF show Dec 7th is 21+. What's up with that, yo?

Billy,
Great job with Christmas (Slade) song. Did you all sing on the chorus? And who's pick was it to record this song?

Keep Rockin',

Oh Lisa I hope no one in Camp Freddy decides to bring those hair-do's back in vogue!!
Billy getting bangs to frame his forehead or Scott growing a shaggy beard like that! LOL

I missed CFR last night, I was in Manhattan seeing "Evil Dead-The Musical" off broadway! It was HYSTERICAL. I recommend it to anyone in NY, go and see this. It's a campy take off on the Evil Dead Movies. It was a little like "Rocky Horror" in the fact that the 20 somethings that saw the movies knew key lines.
The first three rows are the "blood splash zone" (fake blood in broadway shows is the "new black" this year) and they literally handed out plastic ponchos for people to put on after intermission.
I sat first row in the balcony. I'm not all into being splashed with fake blood. But I laughed my ass off.

So I'll download the CFR podcast and someone fill me in on the "extra curricular" things that usually happen online while we listen....;-) If you know what I mean!
Happy Sunday everyone!
