January 2001 news
January 31, 2001 - More news from Richie. Confusion over the Edinburgh date will be sorted out soon. Not sure what the confusion was, unless he is talking about Glasgow. Also, pictures from the "I'm Not Trading" video shoot have been added.
January 30, 2001 - Updates from Richie. Glasgow gig seems to be on, still awaiting confirmation from Astralwerks, I expect it soon.
The video for "I'm Not Trading" has been completed, and should start airing on MTV and M2 in a few weeks. Photos from the shoot should be up on Richie's site soon.
The UK release date for the "I'm Not Trading" single will be announced soon. The single will feature an acoustic version of a new song "Grave" and an "I'm Not Trading" remix by Unkle.
January 28, 2001 - Rumor has it that the Glasgow gig has been cancelled. Apparently "the last gig they played they lost £450. They also want to use their two tour support bands who want £100 each. If local bands were used more tickets would be sold to ppl in this area. Local support bands generate around £500 in ticket sales. Managers don't mind giving them £100 each."
