Nuno News

Ok, I know i have not updated in a while, but that is partly due to the Hotel Asylum, which is really exclusive, and the official site. I can tell you this. Nuno (Mourning Widows) is due for a new album by May 30th released in Japan only again. (yeay, i cant wait to shell out another $30 for a f*ckin cd)So look for it, it's called "Furnished Souls For Rent"....
Ok, Nuno DID tour Japan in May of this year, he played about 10 shows in various locations in Japan, and there are no known bootlegs around yet, (well at least, i dont know of any), but as soon as i get 'em, i'll throw some mp3's on the audio page... Also, the film Just Meaningless Sex, which features Nuno's small role, is out in select theaters around the Us, so check your theaters... And there was an Ep slated for release in Japan which featured 4 NEW songs by Mourning Widows due out in June, but it has been postponed, or just plain cancelled, more news will follow....

Nuno has a tour set up for Japan right now. It is set for May. I will have the dates and venues shortly. No news has been available about a US tour yet, but it does not seem likely being that there was no U.S. release. WE can however expect some rehearsal shows in the Mass. area, so keep your eyes peeled...

According to Jason Kramer and his web site: Nuno has completed his followup to Schizophonic and will be delivering the master to Japan this week.   It should be out in Japan before year end.  It was originally to be out in August, but since things did not work out with Mangini Nuno had to play all of the drums himself and it took a bit longer than expected. Nuno is still looking for a new drummer; He has tried out a few but has not found the right one yet. Regarding the name of the band, Mourning Widows (as reported on numerous other sites) is being considered, but is NOT yet official.  He had other names, but they were taken by other bands elsewhere.   Apparently it is difficult to find a name that is not already taken!
    10/21/98
Ok, Nuno is in the New Guitarist Magazines, Both November, and October Issues, so pick 'em up. (it's a european mag, so look hard) &. For those of you that want all the unreleased extreme Mp3's, check out :Beandip's Page

    9/14/98
Nuno has finished 4 new songs as he continues to prepare for the new album. I know the Japanese contracts are all done, so as soon as it's mixed and produced, it'll be in the japanese market, but we may have to wait over here in the US again... Well, i hope to hear some new info soon, and i'll let you all know asap.. Nuno DID play at the EXPO in Portugal last month, he did an old Schizo. set with all the old crew and members. I will hopefully be getting video of it soon. thanks
    7/17/98
Rumors are that Nuno will be packing up to play a big show in Portugal around July 20. He has re-recruited Dave Laggs of Schizo. tour. This is not confirmed, and there are no words on if the entire old band will be back...
    6/7/98
I was not there, but apparently Nuno kicked some major ass at the Mad About Music convention in London this weekend. He played Gravity, Get the Funk Out, Midnight Express, Cupid's Dead (remix), and a BUNCH of NEW material. I can not wait to hear this stuff, and am getting tapes of the shows soon.
    NEWS FLASH
NUNO CUT HIS HAIR OFF AS WELL . I will have a picture of the new do asap... I am soo psyched with all this new stuff happening and will be updating the page a lot more often now that things are picking up!!! PEACE
    6/7/98

    3/30/98
The movie Nuno is scheduled to appear in, Isn't it Romantic will be out this summer. Nuno is supposedly playing a pizza delivery man. Also related to this film: The soundtrack will possibly contain a track we have all been waiting to hear, the Fine By Me (remix). So keep your fingers crossed.

NUNO FAN CLUB COMING SOON I am currently working with many sources to push the Nuno Fan club. Besides the quarterly newspaper, we will hopefully have reviews of some of Nuno's Hottest Performances from the Schizo. tour...
    Also, I contacted A&M amd asked them about what Nuno is up to: Queen, Queensryche, Brian May, etc. and they said he is working on his new solo album and all of the other accounts are not true at this time....We'll see.
      1/22/98
    Word around the campfire is that Nuno may be teaming up with the existing members of Queen to record an album. Lead Singer...>Brian May. This should be interesting for us and a dream come true for Nuno. (if this is true). Well sorry about there not being much new stuff in the News section lately...there was just no real news, lotsa rumors, but nothing solid, I will check with some of my semi-pathetic contacts at A&M and see if i can verify the Queen thing. Later...
      11/19/97
    Nuno will be in a MOVIE in 1998. A&M has not released much info. about it. They said he has about 4 scenes and a speaking part. It should be interesting. If you've seen the Crave video, you know he can act, so everyone look out for him...
      11/1/97
    Here is another confirmer that Nuno will be on tour.
    METAL EDGE
    Magazine had a list of artists on tour this Spring, and Nuno was on the list. Check out their web page, It's mentioned there too.
      10/21/97
    This is sort of Nuno news. Gary Cherone will be doing an interactive online chat interview on 10/24/97 on Aol, so get your questions ready.
        10/15/97
        I just got a letter back from my buddy at A&M concerning the New Best Of (to be released in Japan) and the Fine By Me Remix. Here is the letter he sent back:
      "Unfortunately, the new mix of Fine By Me is still unapproved and waiting for a release date. Also, the new Best Of album will have no additional tracks, and it will only be released in Japan."
        Oh well, this sucks for us...AV
        10/14/97
        While visiting the Hughes and Kettner Homepage, I saw that Nuno is planning to tour for Schizo. again. I am totally psyched...Anyway, that's kinda news.
