Guitarist Jean-Pierre De Sade has rejoined Notre Dame. Frontman/mastermind Snowy Shaw says that they persuaded him to come back with "an offer he couldn't refuse." He says "fangs-a-bunch" to everyone who sent audition materials and says they'll hold onto it "in case the master of moodswings (Jean-Pierre) has second thoughts." Look for the new album sometime this fall.
Eric Gadd, Da Buzz and Kamera have been added to the Rockoff Festival in Mariehamn on July 18-26. More info: www.mariepark.com/rockoff
