First off we want to thank the fans for making the last year and a half Better than we ever would have imagined. We originally
re-formed in part to pay respect to one of the last wishes of our late drummer Mykel. As a tribute to Mykel we had a limited
edition pressing of our debut CD on which Mykel had performed on. The copies of this edition featuring a tribute page to Mykel
are almost gone. There are litterally only a few left. Anyone who wants to have this extremely rare piece of glam history
should do so NOW. The CD can be purchased @ This site or www.myspace.com/psychogypsy Secondly after a year and a
half of being back together, we would now like to look toward Gypsy's future. Many have asked us about new music and we are
in the process of demoing and recording all new material. Some are tracks that were written just after the first CD was realeased
and some are Tracks that were written as early as a week ago. We also may include some live tracks that were recorded at our
show last summer at the Key Club in Hollywood California. As much as we love playing live and seeing all of our friends and
fans we now have to concentrate on recording. We plan to start announcing more shows for this summer. Any inquiries about
us playing live in your town need to be directed to our myspace page http://www.myspace.com/psychogypsy In addition to Psycho
Gypsy, Timm Tantrum is also currently cutting tracks for an upcoming solo CD. This CD will feature original songs writtem
by Tantrum that reflect his range of influences. The style is a blend of his classic Glam influences like Kiss and Motley
Crue to his heavier influences like Avenged Sevenfold and Rob Zombie. The blend of the 2 styles should prove to make for some
great tunes as will the new Gypsy CD. So all that said we would like to say to you Happy 2009 and we will se you on the road
this summer. KEEP IT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GYPSY’S NEWEST MEMBER
SINCE OUR REFORMATION, PSYCHO GYPSY HAS PLAYED IN COLORADO, TEMPE ARIZONA AND HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA.
AT EACH SHOW THE WELCOME WE GOT WAS BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. WE THANK EVERYONE SINCERELY FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. IN ORDER TO
MOVE FORWARD HOWEVER FOR 2008, WE HAVE TO RAISE THE BAR SO TO SPEAK. FOR THE REUNION LAST YEAR WE DECIDED TO GIVE SEVERAL
FORMER GYPSY MEMBERS TIME ON THE GYPSY STAGE ONCE AGAIN. FOR EDDIE AND TIMM, SHARING TIME WITH OUR OLD FRIENDS BOTH
ON AND OFF THE STAGE WAS TIME WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF. ESPECIALLY TO ERIK AND JOEY WE THANK YOU. THE DRAWBACK HOWEVER WAS
THAT EACH SHOW WE PLAYED LAST YEAR HAD A DIFFERENT LINEUP WHICH MADE THE VIBE DIFFERENT AT EACH SHOW. THE COLORADO SHOW FEATURED
EDDIE ELECTRA, TIMM TANTRUM, JASON DOCKTER AND A GREAT FRIEND OF TANTRUM'S JOSH DRAVEN WHO CURRENTLY DOES ARTWORK FOR GYPSY.
THE PHOENIX ARIZONA LINEUP CONSISTED OF AGAIN EDDIE, TIMM AND JASON AND ORIGINAL GYPSY LEAD GUITARIST AND ARIZONA'S GUITAR
GOD/VIRTUOSO JOEY CARTER (NOW OF ARIZONA FAVORITES RIZON) AT THE END OF THE SHOW ERIK "BD" ST. ERICKSON JOINED GYPSY FOR A
FEW SONGS. PSYCHO GYPSY THEN MADE THIER WAY TO HOLLYWOOD. ERIK WAS CHOSEN TO PERFORM AT THE HOLLYWOOD SHOW HOWEVER JASON GOT
KNOCKED OUT OF THE LINEUP FOR THAT NIGHT DUE TO AN EXTREME INFECTION IN HIS ARM MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PLAY THE DRUMS.
IT WAS DECIDED THAT TANTRUM WOULD STEP BEHIND THE DRUMKIT FOR THAT ONE NIGHT. NOW THAT GYPSY HAS CELEBRATED IT'S PAST
WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE WHICH REQUIRES THAT WE NOW HIRE A PERMANANT LINEUP. BACK IN 2000 ERIK WAS UNABLE TO PERFORM
2 BACK TO BACK SHOWS IN ARIZONA DUE TO ILLNESS. THE GUITAR PLAYER FROM THE OPENING BAND WAS BROUGHT IN AND PLAYED BOTH SHOWS
NOT ONLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BUT WITHOUT ANY REHEARSAL EITHER. THAT GUITAR PLAYER WAS JERRY VAYNE OF FOXY ROXX.
NOT ONLY
DOES THIS MEAN JERRY WILL NOW PLAY WITH GYPSY. BUT IT ALSO MEANS THE SOUNDS OF TWO GREAT BANDS WILL BE BROUGHT TOGETHERTO
MAKE ONE INCREDIBLE SOUND. JERRY AND TIMM HAVE ALREADY COLABORATED ON TWO GREAT SONGS FOR LAST HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS WHICH
WERE PLAYED IN ROTATION ON ROTTING FLESH RADIO REALDISNEY.COM METAL EXPRESS RADIO BRAINGEL RADIO AND SEVERAL OTHERS. THE SUCCESS
OF THESE SONGS MADE HIRING JERRY A NO BRAINER. SO HERE IS THE LINE UP FOLKS
JERRY VAYNE
TIMM TANTRUM
AND EDDIE ELECTRA
WE ARE ALSO ANNOUNCING THE RE-RELEASE OF OUR DEBUT ALBUM FEATURING NEW PACKAGING,NEW ARTWORK
BY JOSH DRAVEN, LYRICS AND A TRIBUTE PAGE IN THE BOOKLET FOR OUR LATE DRUMMER MYKEL.(RIP) THE ALBUM WILL SOON ALSO BE AVAILABLE
ON SEVERAL MAJOR MUSIC SITES FOR MP3 DOWNLOAD AS WELL AS AVAILABLE FROM THE MYSPACE PAGES. OUR NEW ALBUM (WHICH WAS PUT ON
HOLD IN ORDER TO PLAY THE LIVE SHOWS WILL BE DONE THIS SUMMER FEATURING GUITAR WORK FROM JERRY VAYNE) MORE DATES FOR LIVE
APPEARENCES WILL BE ANNOUCED SOON. SHOW &035;1 WILL BE IN COLORADO SPRINGS COLORADO. THE DATE FOR THAT SHOW WILL BE ANNOUCED
SOON. ANOTHER PROJECT THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO GYPSY FANS, IS A METAL SOLO PROJECT FEATURING TIMM TANTRUM AND ERIK "BD" ST.
ERICKSON. EDDIE ELECTRA HAS ALSO BEEN WORKING ON SOLO WORK FOR FUTURE RELEASE SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT. AS YOU CAN TELL WE HAVE
NOT BEEN SITTING ON OUR ASSES AS OF LATE. THIS WILL INDEED BE THE YEAR OF THE GYPSY!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP IT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
well, 2007 was amazing. after not playing together in over seven years, we got a welcome back from the fans that was
a lot warmer than we expected. The first show in Colorado was great. stepping onstage again as Psycho Gypsy was like
coming home. It was as if the last seven years never happened. We just picked up right where we left off. Next came Tempe,
Az. It was not only where the band started but Tempe was where we grew up. It was not only a very successful show but everyone
involved was awesome. From the venue "The Clubhouse" (Which we highly suggest any band play if they are going through Az.)
to the other bands. Unskinny Bop the Poison tribute was great. we had a blast hangin with them backstage. Rizon (which features
original Gypsy guitarist Joey Carter) put on a great set. Joey joined onstage for our set as did Erik "BD" St. Erickson. Erik's
work can be heard on our debut album. Finally the next stop was L.A. @ the Whiskey a Go Go on the famous sunset strip. Everything
looked really promising for this show until Jason (our touring drummer) somehow got an infection in his arm which made his
arm swell to twice it's normal size. Just 24 hrs before the show it was decided that Jason would not be able to perform.
With no time the reschedule, Timm Tantrum got behind the drums a played the entire set with only one rehearsal. A clip from
that night can be seen on the homepage on the video player. 2008 is gonna be bigger and better. we have an aanouncement we
will be making soon that we are very exited about so check back frequently for that news. Thanks to all who made this a very
successful comeback. We promise this year we will pull out all the stops. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
A REUNITED AND REJUVINATED PSYCHO GYPSY WILL BE PLAYING AT THE
LEGENDARY WHISKEY A GO GO ON SUNSET STRIP SEPTEMBER 29TH CHECK THE TOUR DATES PAGE FOR MORE INFO!!!!!!!!!!
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FANS IN PHOENIX FOR AN EXTREMELY LOUD
AND SUCCESSFUL SHOW LAST MONTH. AZ STILL KICKS ASS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
THIS FRIDAY PSYCHO GYPSY WILL PLAY IT'S FIRST SHOW IN SEVEN YEARS IN GUNNISON COLORADO.
THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND HAVE STATED THAT THEY ARE EXCITED AND THAT THIS HAS BEEN LONG OVERDUE. THE SONG WRITING PROCESS IS
ALMOST COMPLETE FOR THE NEW ALBUM DUE OUT THIS SUMMER. THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS HOWEVER IS TO PLAY A FEW SHOWS AND GET
RE-AQAINTED WITH OUR FANS WHO ARE A MAJOR REASON THE BAND RE-UNITED. AFTER THE BANDS SPLIT IN 2000, INTEREST IN THE BAND DID
NOT DIMINISH AS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH MOST BANDS. THE INTEREST ACTUALLY GREW OVER THE YEARS. PSYCHO GYPSY WOULD LIKE TO THANK
ALL OF THE FANS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE.
PSYCHO GYPSY IS DEEP INTO THE SONG WRITING PROCESS. NONE OF THE SONGS SOUND ANYTHING ALIKE. IF ANYTHING
THIS WILL BE THE MOST DIVERSE WORK THE BAND HAS EVER DONE. THE NEW SONGS RANGE ANYWHERE FROM GLAM TO PUNK AND REALLY HEAVY
METAL. MORE NEWS WILL BE POSTED AS IT COMES IN.
