Tfew NEWSLOG I

THIS WEEK IN Tfew NEWS

--> Rival San Francisco band PALACE FAMILY STEAKHOUSE, led by Rich Trott, kicked out Tfew from a video recording session in a West Bay rehearsal space. "We got to practice for our Wednesday gig," he explained setting up his keyboard. Three members of Tfew -- Chip D, Nicole B and occasional member Robert R -- were asked to leave.

--> Shortly before, Robert R sustained one of the Tfew's biggest injuries, Telecaster-drop on a toe that's left it the hue of a bloody birthmark. (Palace Family Steakhouse is not implicated in the injury -- a studded guitar-strap is more to blame.)

--> The aborted video session is part of the Tfew's first-ever video shoot. Borrowing the philosophy of Yes' "Leave It," there will be alternate takes on the video for "Charmed & Dangerous," which will not be the first single on the album. Enough video footage was made for the video.

--> Meanwhile, Tfew has finished mixing the upcoming record See Me Sigh and is finishing up its song-order sequence by ordering songs to parallel the "structure and mood" of the Rolling Stones' Tattoo You. "Charmed & Dangerous" -- at track two -- is the "Hang Fire" of the album, not the lead-off single, but video-worthy.

--> Palace Family Steakhouse plays San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill on Wednesday.

I'm very pleased to see Palace Family Steak House, featuring TFew traitor yours truly, receiving proper emphasis on the TFew blog.

You did forget to mention the key fact about Wednesday's Bottom of the Hill show: Attendance is mandatory.

The Tender Few have warmly forgiven and warmly apologize to the PFSH for any misunderstandings -- including the palm-to-forehead shove one PFSH member gave one TF member.
