Euro Bound
Hey All Ya'll,

Just sitting in my hotel room in Germany after doing a photo shoot with the guys for Q Magazine. It was actually a really fun day. Little Mason makes the whole thing different in a beautiful way. We all hung out, shot a few pictures, did a few interviews, and enjoyed the beautiful Euro landscape. All of us together with the baby and Tom’s delicious girlfriend Mieke who is out on the tour as well. I love it...a little café tucked away in a picture perfect narrow alleyway. All of us sipping coffee and drinking beers, watching Mason puke on the cobblestone. Our lives are really amazing. One of my favorite parts of our success is being able to travel the world and experience different people and cultures…a true blessing. We played Berlin and Cologne and both shows were incredible, some of my favorite of the year. So much energy and really hot and fucking SWEATY!!! All my makeup came off!! Everyone is a bit jet lagged but it’s all good. Tomorrow we are playing a festival with Garbage and Nelly Furtado. Gonna’ be good to see my girl Shirley, she’s such a cool one.

Last week was completely mad. We have been so busy. We recorded all the voices for the new Malice video game and it took forever! I had a sore voice by the end of it. I hope it turns out cool. All my girlfriends threw me a bachelorette party that was so incredibly fun I barely made it to the 12 noon bridal shower that my sister and my lovely sister-in-law gave me the next morning. We had a beautiful dinner at my girl Christine's house and I got loads of sexy outfits for my honeymoon. We looked at old photos, talked, laughed, and drank till we were sick! After that we all went out to a club and danced to Jamaican Dancehall. It all ended in tears and falling out of the limo into Gavin's arms in my front yard. Christine is getting married soon too and ended up in the neighbor’s bushes. Don’t ask me what time that was. Those girls definitely gave me a night to remember or not to remember. All of us in dark sunglasses the next morning rolled in late to the shower with about 80 friends and family!! I opened so many presents and it was a beautiful day. The cake helped with the hang over.

To end the week we shot the video for the next single “Underneath it All.” I’m really excited about this single ‘cause this is the song we wrote with Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics. Can you imagine growing up totally admiring someone as a fan and then getting to write a really beautiful song together? This is a really special song to me and it totally documents a precious time of love, understanding, and realization. I’m so in love at the moment I could burst. We were lucky enough to do the video with one of my best girlfriends Sophie Muller. This is the 7th video that we’ve made together. She is one of my most talented friends. She hooked up with another team of directors named Logan to do some special effects that are really amazing. It makes sense that we collaborate on this video because it goes with theme of Rock Steady. It has been of year of collaborations and experiments. I don’t know how much I should tell you about the video. I sorta want it to be a surprise. I will tell you that it is pretty simple. It starts off with me totally made up with loads of makeup and hairdos, clothes, etc. and I slowly strip it away to a natural no makeup vibe: underneath it all…get it? I haven’t seen it yet but Sophie is pretty incredible so I’m thinking it is going to be a good one.

Well gotta try to sleep now. We have to get up early!! I’m not a morning girl by the way.

Sending love and a Rock Steady Vibe,

Laters,

g-LAMB

P.S. Thanks to everyone that bought Rock Steady and tickets to the shows. It means everything to us. You give us this life and we know it and appreciate it.
By the way I’m in a really good mood!
Kisses g

Busy At Home
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give you a quick update. We're home for a couple of weeks and keeping ourselves busy with a bunch of stuff before we leave for Europe to do a month of shows and festivals. Today we're in the studio recording some audio commentary to be included as bonus footage on the "Live In The Tragic Kingdom" DVD (yes we are finally planning on getting that out later this year!). In addition, we're doing our voice-overs for the Malice video game that will be released this Fall. On Friday we'll be playing "Hella Good" on the Jay Leno show and next week we are filming the video for "Underneath It All" which will be directed by our good friend Sophie Muller. See you soon.
Tony
