I've been slowly adding old articles I've written to Paperback Zero, which earlier this summer I decided to change from being a place just for my Zero Hour playlists to an archive for my writing and a place to post new articles and other writing about music, movies, and more. Here's an interview I did with filmmaker Bret McCormick for the print-only New Horizine: A Zine About Roger Corman last year. Link in comments.

Back to Wisconsin in Sept. 2024!
HOODOO GURUS RETURN TO THE U.S. IN 2024
===================================
After the huge success of our tour earlier this year we have been inundated with offers to return in 2024 - and they didn't need to ask us twice. In September, we will be returning to many of the same cities we played earlier this year (at larger venues in many cases) but we've also managed to slip in a few others that we missed last time. In particular, Texas - we're starting the tour in Austin on Tues 3 September, then heading to Dallas/Ft. Worth and, lastly, Houston. Pittsburgh PA and Madison WI also made the cut this time, which is very pleasing. Tickets for the tour will go on sale this coming Wednesday (6 December) at 1PM EST. I will post the ticket links (and venue details) sometime before then.
I know there will be many people who will be terribly disappointed that we haven't managed to get to their city yet and for that we have to apologise once again. Equally, there will be people in other parts of the world who are also craving a Gurus visit and have been waiting patiently for that to happen. We have been talking to promoters about doing a European tour next year but those plans have yet to come to fruition. We can only make the most of the opportunities that present themselves and I truly hope we can venture further afield in the near future.
After having so many years absence from the U.S. touring scene, we're thrilled to be able to come back again a mere 18 months later. We already have some big plans for 2024 and this is just the beginning.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! Here's a big 'ol playlist dump for your listening displeasure!
Where the hell have I been? Missing lots of shows and missing lots of playlist posting most certainly. Work kept me away from the show, and ...
