A Note from Murderdoll Acey Slade: Greetings and Beatings! What a year 2003 was. With the Murderdolls winning all the readers polls and doing tons of successful touring, how can 2004 top it? I’ll tell you how. With the Murderdolls on hiatus I’ve been a busy bat in my ‘down time’. First I’ve formed Trash Light Vision with a bunch of old friends. I’ve been doing most of the writing and I’m singing as well as playing guitar. While I was on tour with the Murderdolls, I knew a time would come when we would be taking a break. In preparation, I started writing lyrics and songs about the people I met, places I went to and weird events that transpired. Trash Light Vision is the result of that. After I got all the guys in place and the songs written, I got a call from Casey Chaos of Amen. He wanted to know if I was available to do a quick US tour, as their guitarist had health and visa problems and their new album was about to come out though Columbia/Sony. Now keep in mind, Casey has photos of himself singing with Henry Rollins and has played in Christian Death and the reviews on the new Amen album are awesome. It was a privilege and honour to say yes. With my Amen obligations fullfilled for now, I’m back at the Trash Light Vision wheel. I will be taking TLV up and down the East Coast of the US before we head to the UK for the ‘Burn Our Records, Burn Your Books’ tour, with my friends in Anti-Product. I can’t wait to surprise all the Murderdolls and Amen fans. Thanks in advance for your support in the future, as well as everything in the past. As always-rock like fuck!
