> LION'S SHARE DO ICE HOCKEY
Lion's Share members Lars Chriss and Sampo Axelsson have, in cooperation with Sidelake Media and Christian Rehn (Angtoria), written the official intro song for Swedish elite ice hockey team TIMRÅ IK (Red Eagles).
"The main riff was based on the song .Shadows. from Lion's Share's Two (1997) album, with an AC/DC and Rammstein twist since this style works so well in hockey arenas."
The clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=T68-XG3Q-h4 is shown up on the Jumbotron when the players enter the ice.
> STEVE CONTE GOES ALONE
New York Dolls' guitarist, Steve Conte, will release a solo album to coincide with the New York Dolls' highly anticipated forthcoming UK tour which kicks off on December 2nd at the Cambridge Junction. The new album entitled Steve Conte And The Crazy Truth will be released on the Varese Vintage label on Monday November 30th, and features a guest appearance from Dolls' vocalist David Johansen on harmonica.
Says Steve Lillywhite (producer of U2 and the Rolling Stones), "There is very little genuine rock and roll out there at the moment, but Steve Conte has hit the nail on the head with this one."
Sonically, The Crazy Truth lies somewhere between garage rock and punk blues with hints of Latin-soul in a dark, smoky lounge. It's the Stooges and the Stones versus Morphine and Tom Waits. The vibe is best described by Conte as "classic roots with a modern twist."
Track listing: 1. This Is The End, 2. Gypsy Cab, 3. Texas T, 4. The Goods Are Odd, 5. Get Off, 6. The Truth Ain't Pretty, 7. Her Highness, 8. Busload of Hope, 9. Strumpet-hearted Monkey Girl, 10. Indie Girl, 11. Junk Planet
