The Croc Guy & VNV in L.A.
September 5, 2006
Steve Irwin passed away this weekend.
That sucks.
He was a cool guy. A guy who was a show off, but his enthusiasm for what he did as well as his activism towards conservation, wildlife preservation and the environment made up for it. He and his organization bought land in Australia, Fiji, Vanuatu and the United States to be just left alone so animals can have places to live that will not be razed to be an apartment complex or a mall in a couple of years. Plus, you cannot help but enjoy his antics. The world is definitely a lesser place due to his loss. Although, not to be disrespectful or anything, but I wonder if the last thing he thought was: Look at the size of that thing!
Now, I gotta watch his movie in remembrance of him (yes, I happen to own it).
Reminds me of an old friend from Casa Pacifica, the crazy and funny Melissa Taylor-Cachon (although I believe she dropped the hyphen and is just a Taylor now). An animal crazy person, she once took off a couple of weeks from work to hang out with big cats and now lives in the San Diego are and is working with wild life. And yes, working with the children at Casa Pacifica does prepare you to work with the beasties. A huge Crocodile Hunter fan and as the legend goes, once upon a time she got too excited on a trip to Universal City’s City Walk seeing a life sized stand up of Steve Irwin, bought it and spent the rest of the day annoying the tourists as she proceeded not to put it in her car as any sane person would do and just walk all over the place with it.
All I can say is crikey.
I am not a beer drinker, but if I were, I would down a can (or six) of Foster’s in your memory, Steve.
(Funniest tribute- from AICN Talkbacks: Steve is currently in heaven wrasssling Jesus’ jaws shut. Crikey, that is one frisky Son of Gawd!)
FYI: If you can go to this-GO! I guarantee you will have a good time. If you do not, you suck anyway:
VNV Nation live in LA @ Das Bunker 10th Anniversary
We wanted to let you know about a special event we're doing in Los Angeles. We will be playing a special VNV Nation live show on Friday, October 13th at the Das Bunker 10 year anniversary.
As it's their 10th Anniversary, we felt it only fair to give the show a bit of a twist. We've decided to do a strictly "classic" concert which means we'll only be playing songs from "Advance and Follow", "Praise and Fallen" and from the "Empires / Burning Empires" era. There'll be a lot of songs that haven't been played in years as well as a few other surprises. There will also be special merch available to mark the event. All in all, this is definitely going to be a special evening. This is the same club that started spinning tracks from our "Advance and Follow" album 10 years ago and helped us get a start in North America so we're very happy to be a part of their birthday celebrations.
Alongside the VNV Nation live show there will be a live show by W.A.S.T.E. and your regular Das Bunker DJs playing the best in industrial electronic music until 4am.
The show is 18 and over and is strictly limited to 900 tickets. This event will sell out quickly so make sure to get your tickets early.
For more info, please check out the Das Bunker site. Tickets are available online and every Friday night in LA at Das Bunker.
As for other VNV info - more releases are up and coming this year and a new album will be released in 2007 followed by a world tour. All the latest news is posted in the blog on our myspace page so please subscribe to the blog if you want to keep up to date with all the latest news. Every time we post an update you'll get it in your inbox and the message won't get lost in the oblivion that is the bulletin folder.
best wishes,
Ronan and Mark
p.s. for all you who ask, the myspace page is official. It's linked off the main homepage at www.vnvnation.com so we hope that's proof enough.
