A LIVE Jeff Buckley album is to be released in May, 2000! If your intrested, check out Jeff's Websitefor more details!

We'll be updating you with more OLP news, VERY soon!!!

THE FINER POINTS OF INTIMACY

Tuesday January 13th- Well the I&I; has been confirmed on MUCH! Its been confirmed by the band! Its been confirmed by pretty much everyone... except muchmusic.com and olp.com say nothing about it....weird. Anyway its a go! Heres the latest OLP news:

WINNIPEG!
Winnipeg indeed will get a visit by OLP at the Walker Theatre on February the 17th!

HITTING THE CHARTS
OLP layed claim to the highest charting Canadian rock band in the overall sales chart for the Canadian market charting 38th place!

MIKE TURNER'S MUSIC BASE
Mike was interviewed for the new website Music Base. Click on the link to check that out.

YET MORE UK ARTICLES!
In the wake of the OLP UK tour, Kerrang magazine has printed yet another OLP article! Our European correspondant Rick Moore picked it up and transcribed it for us! Check it out in the Articles Archive. Also you should know that One Man Army recently entered the UK charts at #70.

SCALED!
OLP are criss-crossing the US on the 'Scaled' tour, we've receiveda report from the show on the 10th which should make its way along with a number of updates to Tourwatch soon! Also look for OLP to make an appearance on Fax on the weekend!

In another unique development related to the Scaled tour, it seems local radio stations have been broadasting some of the shows! Keep your ears open to find out when your local radio stations might broadcast the performance! OLP also reportedly recorded a special track for Virgin record stores that will be made available later! Who knows? Maybe they're recording all the shows for a possible 'Unplugged' album?! That should get the rumour mill going!

Ticket info for this tour has been unusually scarce, we will try to update you with all the info we can find, but to be honest we don't know anything yet...some radio stations are having exclusive contests, other tickets are being given away. It just seems like a short promo tour of the US.

INTIMATE DETAILS
Yep the I&I; is a definite go and heres all the information we know about it currently: Rick The Temp will be the host and they're are scheduled to hit the airwaves at 8 pm on January 26th preceeded by a half-hour pre-game show at 7:30!

MODERN ROCK LIVE
OLP will hit MRL again on January 23rd! Its aired at 11:00 pm EST on your local radio station. Check with the modern rock live website for more details about when you can hear it!

JUNOS
And finally, OLP are scheduled to perform at this year's Juno Awards! The awards will broadcast on CBC live from the Skydome in Toronto, Ontario this March 12.

OLP GET INTIMATE?

Tuesday January 5th- Wow! .... Wow! .... Wow! I am busting folks! The rumour mill is churning today, and I like what its spitting out! However whats good for myself and other OLP fans unfortunately come at the expense of fans in Grand Rapids, I received this e-mail this morning:

Subject: Scaled

Hi,
I am an OLP fan from Kalamazoo Michigan, Near Grand Rapids. Anyways, I have been heavily pursueing the ticket information about the show there. After Emailing the reported venue (intersection) for the January 23rd show, i have been informed that the show has been cancelled in favor of a MuchMusic appearence. As an OLP fan i am EXTREMELY dissappointed that i dont get to see them, and i thought id write in so more Michigan OLP fans can become aware and cancel and plans or road trips they may have had. If you mention me when and if you report this just call me Awwhotdog....

Thanks a lot
Bryan Seloske

Here is the email i got from the venue...

"The OLP show is NOT going to happen. Apparantly, the band is going to bypass Grand Rapids in order to do a Much Music television show.

Sorry."

A MuchMusic television show?! Which one you ask? There are so many I know! Well it turns out that this juicy nugget has popped up thanks to carcrash3 in teh Clumsy Congress who posted this today:

Hey, just to let everyone know i heard Much Music is having an Intimate and Interactive with OLP on January 26 at 8 pm. Everyone be sure to watch!

Now I must stress this is unofficial, god knows how many times we've heard rumblings of an OLP I&I.; For those not aware of the Intimate and Interactive concept you should know that Much do these specials from time to time (Spice Girls, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, No Doubt, 98 Degrees, Sloan have done them). Basically its one huge Q&A; session with questions asked by fans in the studio, the much VJ, from e-mails on the internet, and phone-ins. The band will play 4 or 5 live songs in front of an incredibly lucky studio audience! These specials are usually 2 or 3 hours long so it is extremely thorough and an extensive LIVE special! Didn't I mention it was LIVE!? In any case it is the ultimate special!

If that weren't enough our own Rick Moore has dug up some exclusive information on a March UK tour! Here is what Rick sent in from Kerrrang magazine

"OUR LADY PEACE release their debut UK single, 'One Man Army', this week. A second single will be released to coincide with a full UK headline tour in March. The quartet are also planning to tour the US with the Stereophonics as their special guests, returning the favour that the Welsh trio did them in the UK last month". For you european fans who haven't yet checked out Rick's awesome site, what are you waiting for?! Heres the URL:

Thats it for now, look for something official about the I&I; from either this page on Much's site:
http://www.muchmusic.com/press/
or you will probably hear something from OLP.COM soon!

Thats it for now!
