Roadstar Official Thread (Was Hurricane Party)

[Axls Locomotive]

they sound a bit bland to me. cheesy 80's rock is certainly a good description of the songs

silvertide and the darkness are far more interesting and dynamic to listen to

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Cool song I gotta check them out this may

'Jonny Rocker' was run over on friday while reading
a book at their own gig. A truck backed over onto Jonny
paramedics saw the accident and was able to respond immediately.

Jonny was taken to hospital where he suffered a broken arm and some cuts. However at Jonny's wish the show went on with the help of a very "versatile" manager.

Jonny will continue to be at all Hurricane Party gigs.

Hurricane Party made their first trip to New York City (as a band) on Tuesday 24th June. Laurie will be working on the album wth Kevin Shirley, and the band said hello to all their American friends in Sanctuary Records NYC.

glad he didnt get killed who ever he is. lol

Hope you are all well, I know things have been a bit quiet lately, but we have had a few major setbacks to deal with.

Unfortunately for us, the Hurricane's in the USA present a major problem as regards our name. We think it would be very insensitive to release a record using the band name Hurricane Party given that people have recently lost their lives.

Having considered this matter carefully, we have decided to continue under the name ROADSTAR as we feel that this is a name that is very much associated with the band. I really hope you will understand our reasons for this decision.

We will be completely redesigning the website over the next few weeks, so if you have any ideas please put them forward. Also I am working on a London gig for the band. It has been too long since we last played London and we are really looking forward to seeing you all. The album is now finished and mixed and sounds fantastic, although we have no set release date as yet. I will keep you posted. I would just like to say that we are all very grateful for your incredible loyalty to the band. We have had a bit of a tough year, with Johnny getting run over etc, but we are always uplifted by the people that come on this sight. It makes everything worthwhile. Best wishes

[Evolution]

True, also Roadstar IMO is a much better name

[Jizzo]

plus there is parry farrells band satelite party and block party to deal with, Roadstar is a better name none the less

Better name...yeah, but i've been a fan of the band for 2 years now and it sucks that it's being changed, it's kinda like losing a part of their legacy, it just annoys me really but it's for a good reason i guess.? The positive and important thing is that the band is still the same and the music is just as good and to most of their future fans (when they become a bigger band) it won't even matter. Still it sucks!

[Jizzo]

i still cant wait for the new record to get out

[Hammy]

i still cant wait for the new record to get out

[Jizzo]
