NEWS ROUND-UP
01.05.05
GARY IS ALIVE AND WELL
Despite an absence of nearly two months from the stage, Gary Le Strange is still alive and well and about to bounce back! With a new manager, a new flat and a new bank account, Gary is ready to start working up the escalators to glory yet again...
BRIXTON WINDMILL
Gary will be doing a warm-up gig at the Brixton Windmill on May 8th, supporting the wonderful Mitch Benn and the Distractions. Rumour has it that he may be performing some brand new songs, but rumour also has it that Gary is such a perfectionist that he may not do so until he's written the lyrics. See the Events page for details!
CLUB LE STRANGE
After last month's curious cancellation, Club Le Strange is back at the Albany on May 12th, with a fantastic line-up of special guests! Contrary to popular belief, Philip De Vine will be back to please his growing legion of fans, though Gary says there's a very big surprise in store for him… I confess I have no idea what that means!! See the Events page!
GLAMORONICA
The recording of Gary's third solo album has resumed! Gary recovered his equipment and MIDI files from his former manager and has been working on no fewer than 17 tracks for possible inclusion on the next album! The working title is, apparently, still Glamoronica (a forward-thinking blend of electronica and glam), though Gary said that at one point, it was going to be called The Rising Fall of Twiggy Pop. That's also a good title!
The provisional track listing for the album is as follows:
Fishnet Brando
Aliens Took My Stereo
Dancing on the Autobahn
All I Ever Do (is sit in my room)
The Cowboy Astronaut of Mother's Day
Escalators to Glory
Music for Televisions
I am a Video
When the Forest Smells
Everything is Wrong
Tough Like Rocky
Dead Men Don't Cry
This Doesn't Feel Like Doomsday
My Face
Though all the music is written, Gary says most of the lyrics are "still at the primeval stage" and won't be ready for a couple of months. Then he says the actual recording and mixing stage might take another six months, so it looks like we're heading for a release some time in January 2006. Bah!! Why do pop stars have to take longer and longer over making their albums as time goes on? I WANT TO HEAR IT NOW!!
Oh well, I suppose the fact that Gary had all his equipment stolen from him and then got kicked out of his flat and had to live with his Mum for a few months might be taken into consideration. And Gary said that Polaroid Suitcase took him "at least a year" to make, and that only had 8 measly tracks on it!! Great tracks, certainly, but Gary says his new stuff "makes the old stuff sound like complete shit". I have to believe him, because he's never been wrong before!!
By the way, don't forget to watch Doctor Who every week! Not because Gary's in it, cos he's not, but because it's my favourite TV programme EVER!! Every time I watch it, I imagine what it would be like if Gary played the lead "Doctor" part. I think Gary would be really good at it, and all my mates think so too! He's got exactly the right amount of charisma and danger, and he's a bit mad (in a good way), and even though he hasn't got a Northern accent any more, he does originally come from Yorkshire! (He says he grew out of the accent when he went to art college). Gary says he wants to get into acting one day, after he's had his first Number One, so "who" knows??!!?!!
THE CAMPAIGN STARTS HERE: GARY LE STRANGE FOR DOCTOR WHO!!
Love and faces

BOYCOTT THIS SITE!
01.06.05
NO, I don't mean this site! I mean, this site! Some bitching cow called "Little Metal Girl" (what a stupid name!), who for some reason doesn't appear to have any original ideas of her own, has decided to upload a Gary Le Strange website! It doesn't appear to have a name of any kind. It just says "Gary Le Strange" at the top of the page, and then underneath she says
Greetings from
Little Metal Girl.
Welcome to my website!
Let me introduce you to the weird and wonderful world of Gary Le Strange.
HA! I like that--"MY" website! As if she hasn't stolen most of it, including the pictures and the lyrics, wholesale from MY website! And "introduce"??? HA!! Anyone who's even remotely interested in Gary Le Strange would already know about MY website already, so I hardly think it's an "introduction"!! Oh, well, maybe it is an introduction if you're retarded, like Little Metal Girl obviously is, or if you don't mind being a COPYCAT BITCH!!!!!!!!
Even the URL is nearly the same:
www.garylestrange.org.uk
Everybody knows that's the cheapest one! It probably only cost her about 50p to register it! The whole thing looks really cheap as well, cos it's been made on one of them pikey Wanadoo web creator things, and it's only got about six pages! How pathetic.
Then she's even got the cheek to LINK TO MY SITE! Can you believe it??? She even e-mailed me and told me it was online! COW!!
And she thinks she's so clever, putting news up about Gary's band and a review of his gig at the Windmill in June before me! But to be honest, anyone could have found that out if they just follow him around all the time like a sad, obsessed, fat idiot, which is what she probably is. Some of us have got lives, you know! Unlike some others of us, who shall remain nameless, like Little Metal Girl. It's no use trying to score points with me, bitch, because you will LOSE, my dear.
Anyway, one thing she obviously hasn't got access to is FREE DOWNLOADS! There are loads of new ULTRA-RARE audio tracks for you to listen to now, which you can't get on that fat cow's site.
I'd tell you all about Gary's band and the Windmill gig but there's no point now because Little Metal Girl can do it now, can't she? If that's what she wants, well, that's what she's going to get!!
Do you think it's easy, do you? Being a full-time student AND the webmaster of the hub for all the Gary Le Strange news in the galaxy, AND having to put up with fat competitors muscling in on your patch all the time? You silly little fool! Go ahead and hang yourself on your own petard, see if I care. I'm too mature to be bothered with your pathetic power games.
BOYCOTT THAT BITCH

A NEW ERA BEGINS
15.08.05
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a (wo) man of wealth and taste…..
Hello and welcome all to the beginning of a hopefully beautiful relationship with your new webmistress, LITTLE METAL GIRL.
I have been an avid fan of the wonderful Gary Le Strange since his arrival in 2002.
I was privileged to see his very first performance of "Sex Dummy" at the Peterford Golf Club and I have watched him grow into the SUPERSTAR that he is today!
This is truly an exciting time for Gary Le Strange fans.
So far this year we have seen Gary run his very own CLUB LE STRANGE at the Albany, which continues in the Autumn (See EVENTS) following the resounding success of his first club-night season in London.
He has also been a regular performer at The Book Club and SPANK!, delighting the masses with his unique blend of awesome music and chat.
Gary managed to make it onto the small screen as part of 28 Acts in 28 minutes on BBC3 -- where he stormed it, and showed everyone just how fantastic he'd be for Top of The Pops!
Music gigs have been coming in thick and fast, with exceptional performances at
The Marquee and The Brixton Windmill. (See LINKS) They loved him so much at The Windmill that he has been invited back in September to headline the night! (See EVENTS)
I'm sure we were all sad to hear that Gary was not able to take a show up to Edinburgh this year, due to his TV and album-writing commitments… but fear not! Gary will be making some appearances if you happen to be out and about at the Edinburgh Festival. (See EVENTS)
I'm sure you will all join me in wishing Tracy Stork the speediest of recoveries from the depths of her despair. She became disillusioned with her role as Webmistress for this fantastic
website and has temporarily lost her passion and commitment for our wonderful Mr Le Strange. Possibly something to do with her new boyfriend, but I wouldn't like to comment.
I am more than ready to take up the reins, gallop off into the sunset and following my hero on this epic adventure of music, fame and glory.
A new era begins….long may the journey continue!
Long live Gary Le Strange!
