OFFICIAL: Scotching a few rumours... again!

Hello mv fans!


I have to add to the blog again to scotch rumours AGAIN! How these things get started nobody can work out, but I, as de officiale representativeness of both mad_vicar and AEGRE, it's my job to stop strange chinese whispers before they get out of hand.

So if ever you hear a certain item of news, check out the blog to see if it has actually happened in real life or someone's fevered imagination.

Earlier there was the rumour that mv was leaving AEGRE for a different, personally respected, record company. That appeared out of nowhere and Frances had to post an entry to untwine it all.

Well, since the recent PMR/Transnistria gigs, another bizarre crop has appeared.

1. No, mv is not moving to Bender, in the PMR, even though he thinks the city is cool and has a very cool name.

2. No, mv has not started a record company in the PMR, although it might be a good idea for the future.

3. Ditto about starting a club/clubs in Transnistria.

4. While mv loves playing there, and always puts the PMR to the top of any list, he has no plans to put down any roots of any kind other than the friendships he has made, and the remarkable number of mv fans for whom, I think he has said elsewhere, he is very grateful and never hesitates to mention how pleasantly surprised he remains at the interest in his work.

5. The "surprise" nature of PMR gigs are a combination of circumstances, and this is why one reads of them "having happened" rather than "will happen". The PMR is one of the remaining Soviet states, and this introduces a layer of beurocracy that has to be assured mv is not subversive in any way. Over the last few appearances, it has become easier and easier to travel and perform in the PMR. So much so that local Party Officials have started asking for tickets, and we at AEGRE are more than happy to arrange this! There will be a time when we can say for definite that mv will be at x on y day at z time in the PMR, and when that happens, it will be posted here. There are a few unofficial "boards", which of course, AEGRE cannot comment upon or discuss, but these, along with word-of-mouth, email, and text, seem to do the job of publicising upcoming dates just fine.

So I hope that the above lessens the spurious rumours that continually spring up around mv.

And of course any Official News will appear here first. Be that from mv or myself.

Thanks for reading!

Dex.
