Gavin’s back in action. News of the ellusive Institute album ‘Distort Yourself’ has finally surfaced. Gavin and his newly formed endeavor are set to released ‘Distort Yourself’ on September 13 of this year! The first single ‘Bullet Proof Skin’ should be hitting airwaves in July and will also appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie Stealth, due out July 29. Read the newest article about the the album over at VH1.com. Thanks to Devin & Ryan for the update!!

The Game of Their Lives, the movie, featuring Gavin Rossdale as ‘Stanley Mortensen’ was released Friday April 22, but only in selected theaters. The movie’s website list all the theater locations. I wish it was playing in more theaters, I’d have to drive 8 hours to go to a theater that’s playing the movie! How wrong is that?!!

For those who need a Nigel fix, Nigel along with many other artist (including his sister Jan) is a featured artist appearing on The Project cd. ‘Love & Laughter’ is his personal favorite, so check that one out too. What’s Nigel up too? He’s producing these day..that’s about all I could manage for now.

Is Bush finished? The long awaited answer to the most dreaded question has finally been given. Check out this Gavin interview from Dread Central.

I caught Gavin on Last Call w/ Carson Daly and he did confirm the lastest ‘Institute’ news. He said that ‘Institute’ will be releasing an album in July & will also be going on tour (a timeframe was not given, I don’t believe anything has been established as of yet). Also, Gavin stated that one of the ‘Institute’ members is former Bush replacement Chris Traynor.

Also, this piece of new sent in by Edgar, Gavin appeared with ‘Camp Freddy’ at the All Star, Music For Relief: Rebuilding South Asia Benefit Concert – Show. You can view a couple of concert pix at MSN.com, courtsey of Wireimage.

I found this article on the net, it was posted last week. It’s fairly fresh, ‘Rossdale Feeds The Fire With Institute

Bush’s Gavin Rossdale is moving forward with his music career, wrapping up a new album under the moniker Institute. Gavin, who also has his first meaty film role in Constantine, which opens Friday, says resting on his laurels was never an option. ‘I’ve been able to feed myself these past two years, but at the same time it hasn’t satisfied the creative impulses I’ve had,’ says Gavin. ‘I don’t think my ambition was dimmed by the fact that I knew that I had sandwiches for life.’ The disc finds Rossdale working with Helmet’s Page Hamilton, and the vocalist said he expects the normal themes of the human condition to populate the release. The album is due in July.

So there you have it, new music from Gavin .this year. I have to say, I’m just not as excited about this album than if it were a new Bush album. There’s a void.

Constantine is out!! The latest reviews are only dishing out a measily C+ at Yahoo!, none the less it’s worth seeing Gavin delivering the goods. Also, the Gavin hoopla is being spread to the tv airways. Last Wednesday Gav appeared on Conan. So if ya missed it.. too bad. But more to come this week, Catch him on Oprah, Last Call with Carson Daily, & Jimmy Kimmel Live.. click here for dates & showtimes.
For those of you who have been awaiting the release of ‘Remasterpiece’ the time has almost come. Sacha’s lastest album has been pushed back so many times I was beginning to wonder if it would ever be released. You can pre-order you copy now at Amazon. The newest release date is set for February 28.

Some Gavin movie news, ‘Little Black Book’ is now out on video & dvd..I thought it was crap, but I was impressed at how lengthy Gavin’s part was (good job Gav). I also heard a rumor that Gavin was in the background in the movie ‘Wimbledon’, but I didn’t see him. Maybe I was paying too much attention what was actually going on in the movie. Last.. but not least, ‘Constantine’ is FINALLY here. If you can happen to catch E! News Weekend this weekend, they were showing clips for the upcoming release. They even showcased a bit of Gavin. That’s due out on Feburary 18. so don’t miss it.. his part looks awesome.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAVIN!!!! I just wanted to get that out of my system before I move on to other news. As trashy as this my be, Gavin & Gwen made the cover of the November issue of Star Magazine. It’s one of the most popular trash magazines out there. I was just suprised that they thought Gavin’s trash was cover worthy. So, congrats for making the cover.

More Sacha update, Sacha’s own web site (SachaPuttnam.com) is back up in action again. It’s way more extensive then the original site. Also, his new collaberate album (Remasterpiece) which was due out in September has now been pushed back to be released on January 3, so hang in there, it’s coming. I want to thank Sacha for keeping and touch and keeping us up to date. THANK YOU!!!
