I've just finished typing up my Anberlin interview. Did I mention how Stephen Christian is very inspiring? I know that anyone who reads it will be inspired. Whether you like Anberlin or not, you should at least read the interview just to become inspired. It will work! I will tell you more about it nearer the date the issue is out (if I remember). Just remember you need to read it. I would put this interview up in my top 5 interviews list of Black Velvet's entire history as far as subject matter and 'enlightening' goes. Probably. It would have been even better had we not ran out of time and me having to cut a couple of questions out.

Black Velvet's US contributor Suzanne T. interviewed Matt Friction of The Pink Spiders on Friday. That will be in the next issue too. Here's a pic of Matt with Black Velvet 57.



I got my gig reviews of Elliot Minor/Anberlin on Saturday and Army Of Freshmen on Sunday written yesterday. Today I've also put 12 pix of Koopa from the Army Of Freshmen show up at http://www.blackvelvetmagazine.com/koopaphotos.htm
