Snafu (JTP)

At turns, hard-lashed and enchantingly tuneful. Sing along with the gathered storm.

A few questions for Rockat Barry Ryan...

Is it tue that there's a new Rockats CD coming out?

"Yes! The lineup is basically the Make That Move lineup with guest drummers on certain tracks."

(That would be Barry, singer Dibbs Preston, bassist Smutty Smith, and Danny B. Harvey. Word is, Blondie's Clem Burke is among the guest drummers.)

Please tell us about the record.

"The album was recorded remotely with Danny B Harvey laying down basics at his studio in Austin and sending them to everyone for us to put our parts on."

Tracks planned?

"We have four new Rockats songs, four covers, two updated songs from Live At The Ritz, and the Rockabilly Doll/Tanya Jean single on there, too."

What label is issuing this, and when will it be in shops?

"It will be on Cleopatra Records and we're looking at a late Winter early Spring release. And it will be on vinyl."

Thanks, Barry!
