MISS BLACK AMERICA NEWSFELCH
Wednesday 8th July 2004

Hi gang
It's all systems slack in MBAWorld at the moment as we prepare for the slog of beginning work on our next album at the end of the month (for "slog" read "opportunity to eat biscuits all day and stay in bed 'til 2"). We've got all the songs written and 'though it will take a while as we're funding it ourselves (we're going in as and when we can afford it), it should all be finished and ready to release early next year. And not before fucking time.
Before we trollop off into the sunset (ie, Midlands), we've got some gigs in the next couple of weeks:

HELP US PROMOTE OUR GIGS
‘Cause I’m only one person and I don’t drive, I can’t poster and flyer our gigs as much as I’d like to, so if anyone’d be willing put up even one poster at work or school or college or wherever, I’d be really grateful! Just e-mail me at rockmyface@hotmail.com and I’ll send a poster your way (be sure to tell me which gig you want a poster for). Thankyou!
NEW DRUMMER = KING OF ROCK
We've got a NEW DRUMMER, in the form of Simon Chapple, who used to play drums in legendary (ie, drunken) Bury punks Chevette. He also lives with Neil, MBA's original drummer. I love this town. Chaps’ interests include drinking, drinking more, and getting his cock out so peasants can marvel at his girth.
SEYMOUR & GREG = THE NEW PROCLAIMERS
Me and Greg from The Dawn Parade have a little acoustic thing going on – we’re called THE CHARM OFFENSIVE, and we’ve got a couple of gigs coming up in Cambridge. We’ll also be releasing an album some time this year, watch our websites for more details.

FREE MUSIC & NEW FORUM AT MBA.NET
There’s still loads of stuff that rules on our website, including free downloads of recent demos & Seymour’s appearance at a Kurt Cobain tribute gig, and our new forum, which is kind of pink. There’s also loads of links and pictures, and a guestbook, where sick minds go to die.
www.missblackamerica.net
Finally, a massive "thankyou" and “hello!” to everyone who’s just signed up, especially Daniel, who gave me his shirt at Bury Corn Exchange. Cheers, mate. :D
Take care, bye for now, love from Seymour
and Miss Black America xxx

WEBSITES YOU MUST SEE:
The Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music (Global)
http://www.strummerville.co.uk
(NB – Joe Strummer was the lead singer of The Clash, and without him there would be no MBA. This charity is one of 2 set up as a direct result of his life – the other is Future Forests – and seems the perfect cause to bear his name.)
"Following Joe Strummer's untimely passing, his family and friends have launched Strummerville, a charitable foundation for the production of new music. The main aim of Strummerville is to provide rehearsal space and studio time to individuals, groups and organisations to enable the production of music by creative young people who would otherwise be preventing from doing so simply because they lack the necessary funds. Our ultimate aim is to have Strummerville studios in key locations around the world."
Antihero (Band, UK)
http://www.antihero.org.uk
Antihero rock, and to prove it they’re giving away free music through their website. I won’t bother describing them, they’re just awesome. Go. Now. Yes. Mmmm.
An alarming number of links lurk at http://www.missblackamerica.net/links.php
So watch it.
