New LEAKS: Scott Weiland [Happy In Galoshes] + Simian Mobile Disco [Clock EP]
New LEAKS today. It has been a real surprise lately with lots of unexpected music popping up. One of the latest today is from STP and X Velvet Revolver front man Scott Weiland. I have always been a huge STP fan and feel like they never got as much cred as they deserved. I know this current tour is a money maker but I am hoping for a new album. Recently there has been a lot of talk and I am starting to feel a little more optimistic. Here is some of whats been on the below empty forum boards....
"After the show I ended up back stage and got to talk with Eric and Rob for a bit and I asked them both if there was any tension in the band and they both said none at all, everything is GREAT in camp STP........then I asked them both about a new STP record and what not......and they both said that it will 100% happen......they are going into the studio soon, I think this week, to Record a Christmas song that Rob wrote......and then they go to record new material in JANUARY.....even with Scotts tour and everything their still going to record, according to both Eric and Robert.......I have a lot more faith after talking to them, that there will be a new STP record......I hope by summer 2010, which is only a year in a half away......not that long since we waited this long, but who knows it could come out a lot sooner or later......they did not give me an estimated release date or anything......"
and this is from scott on a radio show:
New STP: "there's been a whole pool-load of songs written on this tour already." Interviewer said everyone wants a new STP album, Scott said "yeah, of course..." "We're about nothing and everything" (meaning different types of songs). Didn't explicitly say there will be a new STP album, but the quoted comments are certainly positive.
Anyway I did hear the first single of Happy in Galoshes and didn't care for it. My Prediction is that there are a couple good songs on it but not a ton. I am about to check it out right now. Here is the Track List:
| 01 - Missing Cleveland 04:14
| 02 - Tangle With You Mind 03:43
| 03 - Blind Confusion 04:22
| 04 - Paralysis 03:51
| 05 - She Sold Her System 04:32
| 06 - Fame 03:26
