| Hello all hope everyone's well. Just checking in, first off we'll be on Billy Sloan tomorrow night on Clyde, for those of you who were asking about a recorded version of Gimme Shelter maybe tomorrows the night you'll catch it. I'm sure i saw some of you crazies at the John Mayer shows, i thought we were pretty great actually though a half hour set always leaves you desperate to play more. Watching a Roger Taylor drum solo at then moment, he's just started on the timps. Anyway i reckon in the next week or so we'll definitely have some news on shows, it always takes longer than i think to sort these things but we'll definitely be out towards the end of Feb into March and then out to do SXSW in Austin mid March, hopefully we'll have other dates in the US around that time as well on the old records front you did hear Lou right in that Vanity Kills is kind of being re released as we'd been working on a new mix of it with Ross on drums as he didn't play on the original, it's more of a re imagining than a remix, also Little Sister will be going to radio as well, the old rules of singles etc don't seem to apply these days. I'm not sure that it'll be a physical release and anyway i wouldn't want or expect anyone to buy something they already have. What i think what we'll do though in Feb is give you guys a new full band song to download, i'll let you know a title when it's written. The band have hooked up with Dangerbird Records in the US and the album should be coming out over there in April on Vinyl which suits me down to the ground. We've been working on new material with a view to making another album, i do know that the current one is only 4 weeks old but we recorded it in May and i'm getting itchy teeth anyway i have to go i've got an egg on all the best Jon |

| Hi Jon, Yes it is! I was at the Hammersmith gig, and agree that 1/2 hour does leave you wanting more, but it was good to see you all on a stage big enough! I did wonder about Lou's " our next single" comment, so pleaseed you've sorted that out. I did speak to a few John Mayer fans at the gig, snd they all seemed to like CVC, and many were gonna buy the cd next day ( not just download it for free, Lou) so looks like we did get some new fans :-) Looking forward to the next series of gigs. Cheers, hope the egg was ok!! Richard |

| I don't quite get how Norway being a funny shape relates to the content of this post?? But, it's a good question :-) Fascinating fact of the day, in relation to Norway: Kirkwall (Orkney) and Shetland are closer to the Norwegian capital than they are to London! Woo more music! I really really cannot wait until the King Tuts gig in Feb. So totally excited :-) Venue is perfectly small for some Codeine magic and love! Will there be merchandise? I'm craving a t-shirt! I'm curious. Jon, do you write a melody or lyrics first? Or do the both just evolve together? |

| Nice to hear from you Jon. I'm happy that you don't sit around too long in between things. I'd hate for you to get stale. Good to hear the creative urges are knocking on your brain. Have fun and be safe - Raf | ||

| Not as funny as Florida; the dong of America. I'm all for a new album and new material and a new tour! You should start your own label and just go on a releasing frenzy, and, sign Snow Patrol and then never let them release music again. And Coldplay. I just secretly hope you're around in Glasgow around April. |

| Morning Jon! I’m looking forward to hearing this recorded Gimme Shelter tonight if it’s up! Dad’s probably more excited than I am myself.. Roger Taylor is a great man- inspires me oodles. I’ll have you know a drum kit is heading my way soon! Can’t wait for another tour- best try and keep your Newcastle dates on Fridays and Saturdays- exams and that coming up... Anyhow, fried, boiled or even scrambled, hope the egg was yummy enough! Mon the Codeines! |
