HANOI ROCKS: New Album Due In April

January 6, 2005

HANOI ROCKS frontman Michael Monroe has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"Not to get anymore bummed out than everyone already is — I won't say anything other than our sincere condolences to everyone who's lost anyone near and dear in The Asian disaster...

"We're just glad we're still here. Actually better than ever! You just might not know it from looking at this web site...yet.

"Anyways...oh yeh, yeh — as far as Stevie Klasson [guitar] is concerned, we were only kidding. The rumours were actually true: CONNY BLOOM IS IN FACT OUR NEW GUITAR PLAYER! (It was a long joke, but it worked!). (Drumfill!!!)

"While you may have been on vacation, we’ve been working overtime. We've just about finished the fresh new HANOI ROCKS album entitled 'Another Hostile Takeover' and I think it's a bit of a masterpiece. But then again what else would ya expect? (he says humbly) Unfortunately, it won't be released until next April due to 'simultaneous release' clauses in our record deals around the world.... I would think there'd be a single or an EP out way before then, though.

"So what next? Well, hey, at least I've broken the silence here, so hopefully you guys won't have to be guessing, wondering or assuming so much anymore.

"I dunno about you, but... We're gonna start rehearsing and getting ready to rock like fuck on the road in 2005! That's what’s next!

"Be sure not to miss HANOI ROCKS LIVE when we're in your part of the world . And as soon as you can, check out the new record — it's really choice!"
