Hello and welcome to another issue of the Official David Cross
newsletter.

David Cross and Mick Paul selected a drummer for gigs in the forthcoming
year. The name of the new DC Band member is Joe Crabtree
(http://www.drumsolo.co.uk). According to David, "he has an astonishing
flair for playing odd time signatures and straight fours with the same
easy flowing technique".

There is a strong possibility of a live album available next year. Noisy
records may release a live recording of the Roppongi De Luxe concert in
Tokyo that took place last summer.
For Japanese reviews of the concerts see these webpages:

The final title of the forthcoming David Cross album is 'Closer than
Skin'. The David Cross Band plans to do some concerts in the near future
and they're going to play tracks from the new CD, some material from
previous incarnations of the David Cross Band and... King Crimson
classics, including new version of the 21st Century Schizoid Man.

I hope David will also release a live record from the band. It's such a
pity we cannot enjoy concert versions of Learning Curve, Calamity or
Tripwire...
