MORRISON'S DEALING AGAIN!!
Time for an update!! And another V-Blog as well. Just the remnants of all that studio footage we shot a couple of weeks ago when Patrick and I were recording the solo EP material. Plus some random footage from the Venice Rocks Diablo show we did in January as a three piece. I was trawling through an old drive, came across it, and liked it - so here it is! Of course, I expect a ton of blogging very soon as we enter into Camp Freddy’s month at The Roxy. First show is only a couple of weeks away now! But it’s been business as usual over here at Chez Morrison, so I figured I would check in with everyone and let you all know whats been happening. STOP PRESS: Check out the STORE page on this site - I have made the Circus Diablo "Made In Hell" tees available. Makes a perfect Xmas gift - You know you want one!!!
The Stimulator release was better than I could have hoped for ….. nearly ALL the Limited Edition packages sold (thank you to everyone who bought one, and then emailed me to tell me they loved the record! There are just FOUR packages left, so that’s pretty much it now. Numbers 42, 43, 44, and 45. If you want one of these packages, just get in contact with me either by emailing me directly or joining as a friend on www.myspace.com/BillyMorrisonMusic) and I am left with just a few hard copy CD’s which can be bought by clicking the BUY NOW button on the left. The tee shirts are the same deal – again, I have a couple left, so if you want one, let me know. What’s cool about this limited, small number thing, is that the album is available on I-Tunes anyway, so each release can feature it’s own tee shirt, print, collectors item etc. I’m really digging the whole plan!!
The movie world is also calling me again!! The whole Fangoria Convention weekend is approaching, (April 25th, 26th and 27th) and I will be attending all weekend in support of my two movies – “Evilution” and “Basement Jack”. And I have also landed a role in another movie that shoots in New Jersey in June. The movie is called “The Perfect Age Of Rock And Roll”, it is being directed by Scott D Rosenbaum (who made the amazing short film, CODA, with Jasin Cadic and David Johansen of the New York Dolls), and executive producer is Spike Lee. And I play …..yep…..a fucking DRUG DEALER!! HAHAHA!! All those years of excessive Class A narcotic consumption have left me perfectly poised to take over the movie business as the number one choice for drug dealer!! Seriously, I am totally excited and humbled to be a part of this movie, and even more excited to drive the 1970 Hemi Plymouth Roadrunner that is my ride in the film! So immediately after the last Freddy show at The Roxy, I will be on the Big Iron Bird to the East Coast for a spot of Thespian Action. Get yer minds outta the gutter!!
This weeks Camp Freddy Radio is promising to be a ridiculous epic of a show…..and I am being left to cope all by my lonesome self!! I have no less than FOUR different lots of guests coming on the show on Saturday!! Yep – you read that correctly. Four different lots of guests. I will be a nervous wreck by the end of it all. Starting the show, I will be joined by a couple of lovely ladies from AdultCon, who are currently on a promotional road trip. If you don’t know what AdultCon is, Google It, Google It, Google It!! Then I have jeff from Velvet Angels footwear joing me for a while – Velvet Angels are helping Camp Freddy with the Roxy shows, so it’s only fair that Jeff comes on the show to tell us a bit about his company. Then, at around 7pm, Matt Sorum will be bringing in his latest conquests, Bloody Social! They are a band that Matt is currently producing, with a lead singer that is another one of those triple threats…..ridiculously good looking, talented and young!! And then finally, I have The Bangkok 5 coming down to talk to us about their upcoming new album and tour.
So that’s it – a fun filled, thrill packed ride of a radio show. I shall be booking two weeks in the Bahamas immediately following that lot!! Big up to Edwin from Holland who has been doing some of the recent Flash work thats been cropping up - thanks mate - love what you are doing. And I will be back soon with more of the same.
See ya.
Billy

I love to hear about all the variety you get to do for WORK! If I want variety, I have to change the pics on my cubicle walls, haha! It was sooo good to listen to Stimulator on the commute to work yesterday. Heavier than I expected and love it!! I wish I could be blogging about a May Camp Freddy show, just wasnt in the cards this time. Best wishes on all your ventures and enjoy! Niki

you know you will be warmly welcomed here on the east coast. i hope you can hop across the river at some point for an impromptu jam or better yet dj set somewhere in town. that is, if mr. lee gives you a day off.
ok, i must catch up on all the stimulation. i've been so out of the loop...please forgive me.
