ALAN’S SATURDAY POP SLOT #36 – A WALK IN THE PARK by THE NICK STRAKER BAND

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Vocalist/keyboard player Straker’s first band was formed in 1969, brilliantly called Stonehenge. Later he formed The Nick Straker Band with singer and songwriter Tony Mansfield, who went on, with other member’s of the Straker band, to form New Musik (Living By Numbers, World Of Water, Sanctuary).

A Walk In The Park was a huge continental hit in 1979 and was rerecorded for the uk in 1980, when it became a top 20 hit.

Watch the guitarist Dave McShearer – his silver legs just don’t stop moving.

Some nice reviews for Tank Girl – Skidmarks #1 are starting to roll in. I was particulary taken with this one from Steampunk Willy’s Mad Comics Ride @
http://smashallrobots.com/steampunkwilly/?p=1239

“Tank Girl: Skidmarks #1 (Titan Books):
I haven’t read a Tank Girl comic before, so I figured I’d start here. And this works pretty well as an introduction. I’m unsure about the surrounding situation. Why can people drive around in tanks? But I figured this is some kind of Mad-Max-on-crack situation. But then why is a young Dee Dee Ramone shown skateboarding? Maybe that is just a common name in the future? But other than those small questions, I really enjoyed this. It was as free spirited and out of control as I imagined this comic being.”

Get yourselves some Skidmarks. And remember that the Image one-shot Tank Girl – Dark Nuggets is out in less than a month!

Peace brothers and sisters

TANK GIRL – SKIDMARKS #1 OUT NOW!!!

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Just got some advanced copies of the very sexy first issue of our new mini series – Tank Girl: Skidmarks

As it was printed in the States, I’m assuming that it’s already released over there, so we here in the UK should be expecting it imminently.

Buy lots, Rufus needs to feed his cat.
