Tickets & information: www.rhythmgigs.com Strange but true??Web reports suggest that "Elvis Costello and Neko Case have joined the cast of "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County", a musical collaboration between Stephen King and John Mellencamp. According to King's website, Costello will play a Satanic character called "The Shape", while Case will play someone named Anna. "Ghost Brothers", which "involves domestic turmoil" according to King's site, will also feature country legend Kris Kristofferson, Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, boxer Joe Frazier, singer-songwriter Will Dailey, the Blasters' Dave and Phil Alvin, actor Glenn Morshower from "24", and King and Mellencamp themselves. King's site reports that producer T-Bone Burnett is turning the production into a triple-CD/book package. The site cites Mellencamp as saying that the package will be "an experience more akin to listening to an old radio show with music"." Mick Green - PirateIt is with the greatest of sorrow that I have to inform you all that my father, Mick Green, has this morning (11th Jan 2010) passed away. My dad will be deeply missed by his family, friends and fans around the world. He inspired and dazzled with his amazing talent and his sharp personality and wit. His spirit will continue to live on through his music. Thank you all for your support and thoughts. Brad Green |
