A MESSAGE FROM DAI

Hello everybody, this is Dai. I want you to listen and listen close. That includes every piece-of-shit talking shit and every hater talking shit. This is specifically written for you in all honesty. Everything we, TAT[TLE], do is motivated and driven by our love for our fans and love for what we do. All these fucking "he said - she said" bullshit rumors about what's going on with the guitar search are horseshit. Anyone who is mad about their experience trying out for TAT[TLE] at guitar center simply and plainly 100% sucked!! There are a lot of people waiting to audition each day and when they come in the room to play guitar they get up to 60 seconds to give us a sample of what it is they do and what they're about. If at any time during the 60 seconds they are interrupted, or asked to stop, then that is their (read between the lines) answer to how "not the right vibe" they are for anything pertaining to TAT[TLE] or any project TAT[TLE] is working on. But if they were asked to continue playing or asked to play with the band later that evening, which has been over 2 people on the whole tour, then there was something that was interesting enough to spark our curiosity.
Fuck you haters. Better yourself (a little advice). To everyone else, I can't wait to get back online and into the chat. Things are looking very positive for TAT[TLE] - you'll be proud and surprised at what's coming your way. Oh yeah... one more thing...fuck you again haters.
Love,
Dai & TAT[TLE]

LYRICS TO NEW SEVEN SONG
February 4

A leak from the studio has meant the site has accessed a clip from the new Seven Severnson song, Can I Borrow A Feeling? It goes:
Can I borrow a feeling?
Could you lend me a jar of love?
Hurting hearts need some healing
Take my hand with your glove of love
At the end he says "How about it Winona, will you marry me? Again?" and someone (Kev I think) puts on a mock American woman voice and says, 'oooh, no!'
Sounds like a hit to me!

KIM'S SHOPLIFTING CASE EXTENDED
January 11

Prosecutors apparently still haven't decided what to do about Kimberley Kimson's alleged shopping spree at a Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.
The TAT[TLE] star had her bail extended Thursday as the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office needed time to decide whether to file charges against Kimson for allegedly shoplifting nearly $4,800 in clothing and accessories.
Kimson, joined by attorney Miguel Sanchez, slipped into a Beverly Hills courtroom Thursday through the back entrance. Wearing a black skirt, white blouse and black sweater, and with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, the musician stood there momentarily before Judge Roy Schneider extended Kimson's's $20,000 bond until February 8, as prosecutors continue to investigate the case. He also refused the defence's motion that 'girls will be girls.'
The recorder player has not yet been charged with any crime. Kimson was arrested December 12 at the Saks on Wilshire Boulevard, after clerks allegedly spotted her stuffing clothing and accessories into a bag after ripping off the price tags. According to police, Saks security guards also saw Kimson using scissors to try and remove a sensor tag from a $1,000 Judith Leiber handbag which she had named 'shiny bag.'
The 20-year-old was also booked facing a charge of carrying painkillers without a prescription. But Kimson's lawyer contends the whole incident was a misunderstanding, and that Kimson did have a prescription for the pills.
"The charges, I'm convinced, once the Beverly Hills Police Department has a chance to investigate it, will be rejected," Sanchez said at the time.
(E! Online columnist Ted Casablanca reports that sources close to Kimson say the actress merely went outside the store to smoke a cigarette and planned to resume shopping after getting her nicotine & chocolate bar fix.)
Police said Kimson never appeared to be under the influence of drugs and, in fact, was "very friendly, polite, cooperative" and "a nice lady." albeit a bit scary and liud sometimes."
No word, however, on why she had the painkillers. The pixie-ish star did have a history of health issues such as gaiety maximus.

SEVEN TO MAKE ANTI-GUN PSAs
January 7

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) - TAT[TLE] drummer Seven Severnson will produce public service announcements telling children to stay away from guns and be kind to animals under terms of a plea bargain with Hampshire authorities.
Seven, whose real name is Dave, avoided prison time Wednesday by pleading guilty to 13 counts of animal cruelty, two counts of maintaining a nuisance and one count each of disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The deal also drops weapons and child endangerment charges from 1999 against his ex-wife, Winona Ryder.
``I'm just glad it's over,'' the 21-year-old drummer, who now lives in Westchester County, N.Y., told The Record of Hackensack after his court appearance.
The case against the drummer was set for trial this week, but fell apart when a key prosecution witness - fellow TAT[TLE] member Dai Jones- refused to cooperate after the prosecution refused to meet his appearance fee of 7 chicken and mushroom pies.
Police went to the Seven's home in Teaneck in June 1999 after finding Ryder's purse near the spot where the drummers business manager had been shot at the Fort Lee Hilôon. The business manager, who is also Seven's uncle, was wounded in the foot. The shooting remains unsolved. And very confusing.
At the house, detectives were told that Seven had been smoking 'da reefa' all week and had pulled out a pistol in front of them. A search revealed a loaded 9 mm pistol in a dresser, hollow-nosed bullets, a high-capacity magazine and six ``used glass cocaine-smoking pipes'' in a bedroom vanity. Authorities also found 13 flying chimps in the house as well as a large collection of pornography.
Some little kids up to monkeyshines were near the house at the time, prompting the endagerment charges.
Sevens' last solo release, ``Hey There Blimpy Boy!,'' debuted at the bottom of the Billboard album chart in November. He co-starred with Dai Jones in the 2001 movie flop ``Glitter'' and appeared with Jeff Fahey and Tiffany from the 80's in his directorial debut film, "Where Are We Now?"

SOME NEWS ON TAT[TLE] MEMBERS
January 4

Dai Jones is believed to have acquired the services of Leeds based UK garage act Daniel Bedingfield to help him with his 'Dai Jones Experience EP' side project. It is believed they will be duetting on the Kirk Van Houten classic, 'Can I Borrow A Feeling?'
In other news, Rammo Rammstein's mini USA tour to a select crowd is believed to have gone well. Reports that he was seen out on a date with Buffy The Vampire Slayer & American Pie star Alyson Hannigan proved untrue. Rammo commented, 'nah mate, I ain't a lesbian and I don't own a flute so what would she see in me!'
Kev Rees was seen purchasing a set of drums and was believed to be overheard saying the words 'UK garage...album....bo! That's what we say in London!'. Thankfully, the frontman had not gone insane and decided on a new direction for the band, but simply said it should be OK to put then in band member Rob's garage and then the band could rehearse for the new album. The 'Bo!' statement was in fact a mocking of Dai Jones' collaboration with non London boy Daniel Bedingfield.
Finch Dino has the members of the band Gwar camped outside his house, refusing to leave until he apologises for remarks he made to a music newspaper last week. Mr Dino said that he thought they "looked a bit silly" and that "tuna makes a much better sandwich than meat." He issued the following statement on Wednesday: "This I don't need."

DAI DITCHED BY LABEL?
December 27

Dai Jones' record label are in talks to buy him out of his four-album £80 deal with Virgin Records according to the Los Angeles Times.
The paper states that Virgin's parent company EMI has lost $10million on his first record with the label, 'Glitter' which has sold just 4 copies in the US and roughly 20 worldwide.
Sales with his previous company Portershed Records came to 400 in total. EMI are hoping Dai Jones will accept a multi dollar lump sum to leave Virgin altogether and never come back. Ever. 'Glitter' was also the title of Dai Jones' film which featured his debut starring role as fallen idol Gary Glitter - it bombed at the box office, and with good reason too due to it's bizarre casting choice and plot ideas.
The film and album were delayed following Dai's hospitalisation in July following a "complete emotional and physical breakdown".

Kimberley Kimson arrested
December 11

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - TAT[TLE] star Kimberley Kimson was arrested for illegal drug possession and shoplifting clothing from a Saks Fifth Avenue boutique, police said Thursday.
Security guards at the Wilshire Boulevard store detained the 20-year-old Wednesday after discovering her trying to steal hair accessories and ``numerous items of gay clothing'' valued at $4,760, Lt. Gary Gilmond said.
Police arrested her and later found she was carrying narcotics, he said. She was booked on charges of grand theft and possessing pharmaceutical drugs without a prescription. Police did not disclose the kind of drug.
Kimson's lawyer Miguel Sanchez denied the allegations. He said Kimson had a prescription for the painkillers and receipts for the items she allegedly stole.
``It's a misunderstanding on the part of the store,'' he said, adding that Kimson was carrying the items between store departments.
Gilmond said Kimson may have a prescription for the drugs but she was booked because she couldn't immediately produce it. He added that store security officers saw a surveillance video in which Kimson was allegedly removing tags from the items.
Kimson was released from custody Wednesday night after posting $20,000 bail.
Her publicist Nadia Fish said the percussionist had no immediate comment.
Kimson has maintained a grueling band practice schedule and has been hospitalized several times for exhaustion. Kimson lost a pivotal role as backup triangle player on a TAT[TLE] video days before filming began because of anxiety and exhaustion.
She has told reporters she sometimes tried to drown her anxiety attacks and depression in alcohol.

Kev and Dai where last night spotted on the town with Nell McAndrew and Jordan. Jordan, recently split from boyfriend and general tit Dwight Yorke, was seen to be kissing Dai's neck, and if rumours are to be believed the couple snuck off to the toilet, for a "quick shag". Rees and McAndrew were more restrained. Rees still reeling from recent split from long term girlfriend Flick Scully, and the model were seen to kiss passionately at the end of the night before hopping into a taxi to an undisclosed location.
McAndrew had made it publicly clear that she was attracted to the star in a recent interview with a top mens magazine, "he is just so sexy and I bet he has a huge cock. I'd love to find out!!!!"
We will let you know if she did!!

Kev and his long term partner Falicity Scully havce parted earlier today. The couple who had been feeling the bite of a long distance relationship for some time now called it quits today when both admitted that they were jealous of the other. Falicity's on screen reltionship with Tad was proving a worry for Kev "I know that nothing is going on in real life but it is just to hard for me to watch her kiss him, that should have been me" says the visibly upset star.
Falicity told me that she was worried by the constant media rumours of Kev and other famous icons, such as Sophie Ellis Bextor and the entire of Atomic Kitten sharing a night of lusty passion. "Although I know it's not true, they could never keep up with him, it was always a worry. It would be hard to turn down 4 gorgeous women wanting to see to your every need. I think we both need some time of freedom to sort our heads out, then who knows."
Let's hope they can sort it out.

It has been revealed that an exclusive interview with the NME, former TAT[TLE] bassist G-man unleashed previously unknown details about his private life. In what is said to be a highly sensational interview on life in one of Pontypridd's best loved bands, G-man doesn't hold back with his feelings. One extract tells a story of how he goes into his local HMV every week asking when a new Rage Against The Machine album will be out. When told by assistants that they don't know, he is said to have shouted "liar!" and "I'll give you the thrashing of a lifetime!" before 'hitting' them with his AIR bass guitar, at which point he is dragged away by security screaming "Do you know who I am?!?" This is only one of many revelations promised to be revealed. We will keep you updated as to more. |
TAT[TLE]IN DISMAY

The future of TAT[TLE] seemed unclear tonight as once again fisticuffs marred an evening within the band. Once again the offending persons where Kev and Dai. The incident happened in on the way home from the University of Glamorgan student union.
Eye witness reports say that Dai had turned up late after a long day at the rugby "on the sesh, boys" and was in a "strange mood." The witness continues that Kev told Dai that Dai had "had a long day" and had "had a lot of money spent on you, you're just showing off. now stop it."
This enraged the intoxicated dancer and he lashed out at Kev, who laid a big right hand on the fat star, sending him tumbling. The incident would have been worse had it not been Dai's in ability to focus properly.
Other members of the band have aired their concerns over this situation. "The boys just need to sort it out and get on with being freinds, and making music and doing what ever the hell it is Dai does.... oh yea keeping it real, drinking and inspiring, They owe us that much, we need them" said Kim.
We will keep you posted on any further twists in this confusing conflict.

KEV & DAI IN BUST UP SENSATION

TAT[TLE] 'bandmates' Kev Rees & Dai Jones were involved in an amazing bust up in front of stunned onlookers at supermarket Tescos on Saturday. The skirmish kicked off after a non drug related tripping incident. Mr Jones was seen to maliciously attempt to a Russian leg sweep on Mr Rees, pushing a trolley, from which Mr Rees stumbled and turned to punch the fat dancer, a fight quickly broken up by Finch Dino, who looked confused and hungry. This was followed by Kev shouting "What the fuck are you doing, I can have you sacked in an instant!" Dai replied, "Without me your nothing!" To which Finch said "well, without you we'd be 200lbs lighter!" Dai stormed off shouting "get over it, I want some pie" leaving Kev in the aisle in front of frightened children muttering "this is all his fault *sob* he knows I can't have too much sugar in the morning." The future of the band looks unclear, an emergency meeting has been declared at Fort Bothered before Monday for clear the air talks. It is rumoured that the talks will be mediated by William G Stewart, the cleverest man in the world, and Dr Mark Sloan, the best damn cop the LAPD never employed, and Barry Van Dyke's father.

TAT[TLE] FIND MORE FAMOUS FANS
November 12

TAT[TLE]'s growing reputation was taken further on Sunday with acknowledgement from Sophie Ellis Bextor & 2 of Atomic Kitten that they were fans. 5 members of the band were in attendance at a recording of The Pop Factory where Bextor and the Kittens were regularly seen winking and smiling at the TAT[TLE] boys. The only one not to join in was Jenny from Atomic Kitten, who has been described by just about everyone who's ever met her as 'a bitch.' One source said 'even her own family think she's a mouthy gobshite.' With the tension (more then likely sexual) between her and the other Kitten's good friends in TAT[TLE], a split or sacking could be round the corner for young miss Jenny Frost, then maybe she won't think she's so clever.
Additionally, Dai was smiled at (and in the words of one onlooker 'eye raped') by up and coming UK garage star Daniel Bedingfield. When asked about this he replied, "Bo! that's what we say in London!"

TAT[TLE] member Finch Dino was at the centre of a scare today after injuring himself in an incident with a razor blade. Early reports said that Mr Dino had nearly killed himself playing a bizarre sex game, much in the same way Michael Hutchence from INXS died. However, it was later revealed that he had only suffered minor injuries as a result of accidentally cutting a finger on his right hand on a razor. It is unknown whether this injury will result in him missing any TAT[TLE] dates or for how long he'll be out of action for. Spokesman William Regal said, "I don't bloody know, get out of my office you fools!" Finch is belived to be heading back to TAT[TLE] HQ at Fort Bothered in order to recuperate.
