April 20 - Our Lady Peace will be playing Woodstock '99. The festival runs from July 23rd to 25th at Griffiss Park in Rome, New York. Tickets and bus packages are all ready on sale at Ticketmaster Also in Woodstock news you'll be glad to hear that your favourite neighbourhood fan site will be linked from Woodstock.com. And for those who are not lucky enough to head down to Rome, NY to catch OLP's set you can breathe a sigh of relief. According to the Collective Soul Atlantic Records mailing list, Woodstock '99 will be immortalized on Pay-Per-View, home video, CD and also Webcast! So it looks like we'll all be in for a dose of OLP in July which perhaps will give us a sneak peak at the new stuff they've been working away on! |

APRIL 14/99 - Good news: there's a new report from Raine on olp.com and if you'd like to hear the bad news from him then I suggest you go there before reading any further. Bad News: There will not be a Summersault '99 but keep your hopes up for Summersault 2000! As Raine explained in his report, the band did not feel they had the time to devote to both the album and the rigors of organizing a tour in three months and accomplish both to their standard. They felt it would be better to concentrate ont he album and holding off Summersault for another year until it can get the attention it needs. Good News: Work on the album is progressing well and the recording stage is nearing completion. Bad News: (But nothing to do with the band) Stacy had to reformat her computer recently and lost all of her mail. Including some questions and e-mails about olp.net. If you don't get a response please resend the message :) Thanks! |

UPDATE - I just received my personal copy of the PPU newsletter and there is some bombshell news for fan club members. Don't read on if you are waiting for your newsletter I will spoil your fun. Ok if you're still with me the Pied Pipers Union has sent along a number of interesting things in this issue including a total change in the service and distribution of the newsletters. This will totally redefine the concept of a fan club! Before I spill I would like to personally offer my thanks to Our Lady Peace for really taking care of their fans! This is a great surprise! First off the Pied Pipers Union will now be distributing only two (FAT) newsletters per year in addition to two alternative mailings! These two alternative mailings will include CD's, audio or video casettes and any other goodies they can come across! They are also preparing to offer preferred seating to all fan club members by way of a special phone line. All members can reserve a maximum of two tickets for any OLP show in North America! For renewing members the bonuses are unreal! You will receive a t-shirt upon renewal, a new 8 x 10 autographed picture of OLP exclusive to the fan club (not distributed to press). In addition to a new membership card, a new poster, and discounts on OLP merchandise as well as the 4 mailings! - The newletter also tells fans to keep an eye out for a t-shirt giveaway very very soon on http://www.olp-swag.com!
