Gerard Way!

Hello to all,

The other day, I was given the new Drive By record by my dear friend Todd Price. For those of you who are unfamiliar , he sings and plays guitar in the band. I had been eagerly awaiting this record quite some time. Their initial release floored me. It’s everything about music that I love. Amazing and honest rock songs. Todd has the uncanny knack to write the kind of chorus that I’m jealous. Upon listening to their record “A Delicate Situation” I was knocked on my ass once again, and I expected nothing less. If this band isn’t gigantic by the end of the year, then there’s no justice in the world.. On april 8th, “A Delicate Situation” is released and I recommend you all make a B line to the record store and grab one. The songs are sure to be ingrained in your skull for quite some time.

Regards
Mikeyway

Yes people its true.  No he wasn’t married before, but he is married now.  It all went down yesterday Sunday, March 9, 2008!

He married Jamia his long time girlfriend.

No details have been revealed as of yet. 

The only confirmation anyone has so far is a bulletin posted by Bouncing Souls through Myspace, congratulating them.

Here is the bulletin and what it said…

Hey Everybody!

Me, Pete and Bryan are at Bryan’s place in Ny today workin on some new tunes and learning a Johnny Cash song for a compilation. We have some great new ideas that are gonna turn into some sweet tunes.

Yesterday we all enjoyed celebrating the wedding day of our good friend Frank from My Chemical Romance to his beautiful wife Jamia. It was a fine family gathering which ended up in us singing a couple of Frank’s fav Souls songs. Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio jumped up to sing along to an acoustic version of Night On Earth. He also did 3 of his songs on acoustic. Acoustic Skiba = goosebumps.

Congratulations to Frank to Jamia and much Love to you both.

Have a Good Day All,
The Souls

THANK YOU Kristie, the eyes in the back of MCF’s head!!!

Reprise has just released a statement containing a list of U.S. tour dates booked to date.  At the end of the statement, there is an asterisk followed by the words “more to come”. 

Mikey had stated in his email, sent through Reprise to everyone on their mailing list, that the Madison Square Garden performance would be the perfect goodbye to “The Black Parade” tour.  Many are thinking this means that is the last stop on the new U.S. tour.  For those of you who do not have a tour date near you, maybe there is still hope!

Below is the statement sent out by Reprise…

Last American Shows Before Platinum-Selling Rock Band Begin Work on New Album

BURBANK, CA–(February 29, 2008) – My Chemical Romance, who traveled the globe last year in support of their platinum-selling album “The Black Parade,” will return to the U.S. in March for a month-plus tour — the last series of dates before the band take time off to write a new album. The tour, which features support from Billy Talent and Drive By, begins March 28th in Tempe, AZ, and will hit mid-size theaters across the country. My Chemical Romance made a deliberate decision to play more intimate venues this time around after spending months of performing in U.S. arenas on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and Taking Back Sunday over the summer.

“We are really excited about the tour,” the band said in a statement posted on its website (www.mychemicalromance.com). “Our good friends Billy Talent and Drive By are coming with us. We could not think of a better tour to go away from ‘The Black Parade.’ We wanted to come to these places. We selected them. We wanted to get away from big shows for a while. When we started this thing, we could feel you guys right in front of us. It is time for that to happen again.”

My Chemical Romance is also putting the finishing touches on an upcoming CD/DVD titled “The Black Parade is Dead!,” which was filmed over several weeks in October 2007.

Released in October 2006, “The Black Parade” shot to No. 2 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart, selling more than 240,000 copies its first week of release. The album was hailed by critics and has spawned four Modern Rock smash singles, including the latest, “Teenagers,” which hit the No. 1 spot on MTV’s “TRL.”
