"Take the `Type A` personality guy out of the band and watch him go!" laughs Ghomeshi, throwing his hands up in the air. "I was very scared going into the hiatus," he admits over coffee in Toronto`s east-end, where he lives. "Those last few shows with Moxy Fr|vous, I was like: `So what is it I exactly do?`" This is a pretty typical comment from Ghomeshi. He's one of those of super-confident, forceful personalities because... well, he should be. Give him a bit of time, however, and he relaxes. Liv Pre-orders Begin Liv, the new live album from The Waltons gets its full release on September 11th. Pre-orders for the CD have already begun and the first 100 buyers will score an autographed copy of the 18-song collection. As well, a couple of CD release parties have been scheduled for September 7th and 8th at Ted`s Wrecking Yard in Toronto, where the album was recorded last winter. We chatted with Walton`s lead singer Jason Plumb earlier this year, while he was preparing for Liv. The waltons will also be playing two shows at Ted`s Wrecking Yard. You can purchase tickets online through Maple. - ----- The Cowboy Junkies released their CD Open back in May. Over the course of the Junkies` 15-year career, the band has not released an official Greatest Hits collection. Fans should consider listening to the band's two live releases - Waltz Across America (2000) and 200 More Miles (1995) - for a more personal perspective on how the band views its musical repertoire.

A monthly Q&A with the artist of MM`s choice There's something about this band SuperGARAGE . Proud of their `garage` status, proud to be indie but these guys also have monster attitude that only rock stars in waiting could possibly pull off. When we asked the band`s ever-enthusiastic frontman Marco DiFelice to do our ` 15 Questions ,` his band`s imminent West Coast tour didn`t get in the way. Marco, we hope you`ve still got your sanity! [See Question Three]. Think fast! Name a memorable moment be it current events or otherwise - that you remember quite clearly.

(fwd) oh and Toronto in the warm/cool weather is SO much more enjoyable! - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 23 Aug 2001 06:07:59 -0700 From: Brent Miller To: ammf@fruvous.com Newsgroups: alt.music.moxy-fruvous Subject: Re: Frucon 5? If Fruvous is still on hiatus, why do we have to have FruCon5 in February? My understanding is that FruCon1 was initially organized for February because the lads generally didn't tour much in February. Why not March, April or May? It would be a much safer drive for all or us when snow and ice on the roads aren't an issue. Just my two cents, Brent ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V5 #234 ********************************************
