"Ozric Tentacles: Band Update

High Ozric Fans
Firstly, apologies for the lack of website at the moment.
We have had a number of high bills over the last few months, not least
for the extra bandwidth on the site itself, which at the moment we
can't afford to pay.
For the moment Mike Wernings' excellent fan site will be our temporary
home (http://www.geocities.com/ozrictentacles_web/) with a temporary
message board at http://bbs.artistdirect.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=18934?artist=Ozric+Tentacles
A few rumors have filtered back to me about the band splitting up so
can I just reassure everyone that the band are very much together,
finishing off the recording for the new album "Toka Tola" and looking forward
to playing live again.
We are negotiating a new record deal that will hopefully result in a
reversal of the bands recent misfortunes financially and give them the
kick-start they need - we hope to hear a decision next week and then the
work can begin in earnest.
A few shows are happening during the summer. Confirmed so far are:

June 7th - Cheese and Grain in Frome
July 19th - Wickerman Festival in Scotland
August 30th - Off The Tracks Festival in Donnington.

More details for these shows will be announced soon, and we'll be
confirming some European dates in the next few weeks.
Also a new website is being built. A new URL will be announced shortly.
For now, if anyone wants merchandise I am putting it up on ebay, so
please look there for CD's, t-shirts, rizlas and flags.
Finally I'd like to personally thank the following for sending us
contributions to help with the current difficulties:

Mad Bloke Shawn and Ruth
Merlin and The White Witch
Dom Birdyhop
Rosamond Murphy

Zappa's Ghost and Fan Lady (Jean and Ed)

Although the website still isn't up your contributions have been a
massive help - expect a very special gift through your doors soon!

All the best - thanks to all for your continued support.
