   About The New Christs
THE NEW CHRISTS was formed by former Radio Birdman singer Rob Younger in 1984. Since then, myriad line-up changes, conflicts within and without, numerous record releases, a plethora of wasted opportunities and six European tours have transpired. History, being largely detestable, certainly tiresome, forbids further detail. The future has always been of greater interest, which is hardly strange. *** Last month The New Christs returned from Europe, having played shows in Spain (Azkena Rock Festival), France, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Norway and Sweden. The boys had quite a few laughs over there, so many in fact that plans are underway for a repeat dose next year.*** In the more immediate future, a run of shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Lismore and Sydney begins on August 6.2009. Some maintain that the New Christs can't get arrested in Brisbane but we'll see about that.*** Simultaneously, Australian label Impedance will release GLORIA, the band's latest waxing, on CD and vinyl. The 12" looks a treat and only an absolute fool or someone without a record player or both would pass on this one. Reviews of advance copies are flooding in, with many of them conferring unreservedly high praise; a few, one can sense, admitting somewhat grudgingly to its excellence; others offering a cogent, measured and well-reasoned response, as if anyone needs that kind of shit; and a few cloth-eared berks trotting out now de rigeur comparisons with Distemper, the NC's supposed yardstick. ('Of course it was wonderful but get over it wankers' appears to be the boys' united response to these reviewer's unwelcome preoccupation with our past glory and its magical nexus with their first tug.) ***Must it be repeated? Sadly, yes. History is detestable; here's to the future.*** Later then.................. . Napoleon Wilson / Public Relations Officer

Here comes a selection of fine pics I took at your concert in Caen whick I've envoyed a lot. I think they're pretty good and after all it was my fourth time seeing the unreachable singer Rob Younger (or might I've said "entertainer") thus I can pretend to know a little bit what I'm speaking about. Anyhow those who weren't there were wrong while the crowd that stayed until the end will have a place in heaven. If you want to get the whole of them, just ask me and by the way you can watch some others on my myspace profile :
