Cause I Said So - Updates - Hey, What's New?

Make this page grow - send me info if you have any!

Nov. 19, 2007: Finally updated main page with info on Godfathers REUNION!

OCT 25, 2006: KRIS DOLLIMORE is releasing a solo album on November 1, 2006. A bluesy affair, it is titled "02/01/78" - the date when Kris got his first guitar for his 12th birthiday. You can buy 02/01/78 at Kris' website , where you can also listen to three tracks. Also, Peter Coyne has been tapped as Kris' manager, so you know they are going to bash down some doors with this one!

Oct 14, 2004: (This turned out only to be a rumor sorry!) FORGET THE PIXIES. GODFATHERS TO REFORM FOR 20th ANNIVERSARY VALENTINE'S DAY SHOW IN 2005?

Jan 2004: Rotated mp3 to: I'm Not Well, from Afterlife, in Sounds
December 2, 2003: Update on THE GERMANS from their website: "Apologies for the lack of a CD as yet, which has been held up as we try to finish of the recording started in August. This is due to be completed in the next month for release in January/February 2004. In the meantime the band have been busy in the rehearsal studio writing new material, with the next set of live dates due in the new year once the single is out. Our first newsletter will be out before the end of the year, so all those who have e-mailed, around 300 of you now, will be on the list to receive one." Looking forward to that single . . . Also check out the new Germans messageboard to help keep you up to date. ALSO, be sure to check out MIKE GIBSON'S site, which now has some streaming mp3s from the City Farm album. Here's a good review of the CD.
October 2003: Whatever happened to Mike Gibson? Well, I've gotten news that Mike, a.k.a. beloved Godfathers guitarist (1985-1992), will be releasing a solo album called City Farm in January 2004, distributed through Shellshock. His future website is at www.mike-gibson.com. Now, as Mike was credited on many 'Fathers tunes (e.g., believe in yourself, can't try harder), I'm sure we'll hear some good stuff on this--but think more acoustic guitars and thoughtful lyrics than rawk a la Peter Coyne. Speaking of Peter, I haven't heard much about The Germans in the last few months, anyone know what's up with them?--I want that demo CD!
May 2003: THE GERMANS ARE COMING!
