Cradle of Filth bassist checks in

CRADLE OF FILTH bassist Dave Pybus has issued the following update:

"So, here we are, on the eve of the second U.S. tour for 'Thornography'! Just back from Sunday morning rehearsals (no church for us) with a slight headache due to last nights drinking session with keyboardist Rosie. This time it's a little bit different to a straight ahead CRADLE OF FILTH headlining tour. Viva La Bands is obviously Bam Margera's crazy idea, but we like Bam, so we expect only the best in chaos to come. Good mix of bands as well. The addition of VIKING SKULL made me smile as I met them a few years back. It will be fun to meet them again, this time for some serious drinking sessions.

"Just wanted to mention something about the tour set list. Got a pretty cool mix of old and new tracks. Like two songs off every CRADLE album. The set won't be as long as we'd like it (like two hours, yeah) so we've decided to alternate sets to keep us on our toes. Added the new song 'Foetus...' which is the track we chose for the second video from 'Thornography'. You should be able to see that soon. 'Temptation' has been dropped from the set this time. Added 'Twisted Nail Of Faith', 'Principle Of Evil Made Flesh', 'Tortured Soul Asylum', among others. Going for some pretty cool songs that we've played in the past. It's a hard decision sometimes to get a fair mix but we feel happy with what we went with.

"OK, I'd better get on with packing. NFL season started and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more games on TV than is possible in the UK. Find me in a local bar near the venue on Sundays, crying into my beer as my team (the Redskins) get their asses kicked."
