Well, it’s been a busy time with rehearsals in Los Angeles wrapping up with a one off intimate show we played Sunday 20th June at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in LA . Tickets were being given to the first 800 people who queued up and bought the new Ozzy Osbourne album “Scream” at the Omoeba record store.
The album is released around the world today, on June 22nd.
An error in the liner notes means the first pressing will have only 4 of the 5 tracks cowritten by myself, Ozzy and Kevin Churko being credited. The 5th track “I want it more” was incorrectly labeled just “Osbourne / Churko” due to a title change at the last minute, meaning the absense of my name. This will be corrected in later pressings.
Inbetween the rehearsal schedule, we played a few Tv shows – the Jimmy Kimmel show which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaC3b8XIPPg and today the George Lopez show, which I’m sure will be on you tube within a few hours!
