Scott and Duff at Holmes Swimwear show!

Scott and Duff are still scheduled to perform 'Angie' today at Susan Holmes' fashion show (starts 5:30, see October 24 news) at Smashbox in Culver City. Pictures and other info (hopefully audio) will be posted as soon as it's available.

Scott Arrested.

This is not the kind of news that I want to report on this site, and so far I have tried to avoid updates like this. Here goes: Scott was arrested early last monday (his birthday) for driving under influence (DUI) and hit-and-run, in Hollywood, CA. He has since been released on bail, and will have to appear in court on November 17, possibly earlier for his ongoing probation case, for which he was originally scheduled to return to court in January. How these happenings will effect Velvet Revolver's plans, is at this moment uncertain. Neither the band, nor their label and management have commented. News will be posted here as soon as it becomes available. Let's hope Scott is doing good.

Small site updates and wallpapers.

Many thanks go out to Hendrik Sanabria and Henrique Pinto for sending in two great desktop wallpapers. You can find them in the downloads section, which, as some of you may have noticed, isn't entirely working the way it should. The media files will be unavailable until further notice, due to problems with the media server. If anyone has reliable space available on a server that can host mp3 audio and sometimes video files (ideally it would offer around 50 MB space for all files), then please email me. You can also use the form on the contact page. Many thanks in advance for your help!
