Tfew NEWSLOG II

THIS WEEK IN TFEW NEWS



Rich Trott called the Tfew self-declared 'rival band' Palace Family Steak House's show at Bottom of the Hill last Wednesday night "transcendent."

Tfew began actively setting up dates for its NO-CAL EXOTIC TOUR of late October. Potential dates include Modesto, Vasalia, Nevada City and San Francisco.

The first take at the "Charmed & Dangerous" video has been attempted: and we would like to present a short-time available sneak peek at the 'CHIPPED NAILS' version of the video. Two more versions are coming in the near future.

--> 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.
