Very Cool Rob ...    Do you still actively play your drums?

Yes...well up until March or so...so it's been about 9 months.  But after playing for 30 years or so, the rust comes off pretty quickly.

Rob, I also would be interested in seeing Letchen Grey if you came to Seattle.  Maybe, Marz and myself could get a backstage pic with you for SBG's?

y'all are awesome, man.

While the re-release is definitely underway, the touring part is right now VERY tentative. We all live in different states.  And just pulling together to rehearse for say one or two shows at the Rockloahoma festival would be a major accomplishment....let alone doing some sort of tour.

I'm not in a position, work- or family-wise to just quit my job and hit the road.  The talks with Ratt and Great White have been along the lines of them saying, "Hey, man...why don't you guys reorganize and maybe you can join us for some shows or somethin'"

So while it would be AWESOME to do a tour of whatever degree...right now any substantial touring is wobbling on the boundries of practicality and feasibility.........but ya never know.

OK.....our CD should be re-released by the end of January.  I'll keep you posted on where it can be purchased.

Also, unless something gets screwed up by not being able to take off work, I and the guitar player will be joining our singer in Dallas to rehearse for a couple days prior to the Rocklahoma festival....jumping on a bus, perhaps with Ratt and/or Great White, for the 3-hour trip.

Who's in the Dallas or Oklahoma area?

So the Robmeister is actually Robert Sykes. Man is that cool!
Awesome talent.

Got to come to the Midwest with that tour and make a stop in Chicago so you guys could sign my copy of your 1986 EP, Party Politics!

Just signed the royalty agreement for our re-release  O0

Also just found out that the new Guns and Roses book "Making of Appetite for Destruction" by Mark Canter, page 69 of the book is a flyer that says LETCHEN GREY at the Troubador May 29, 1986!

I guess you can check in out at Borders, Barnes & Noble or wherever.
