GROOVY NOODLES
THE ELM TREASON NEWSLETTER NUMBER 95
FEBRUARY 24, 2023
TREASON NOODLES
– The boys continue with sessions for the forthcoming album “WITHOUT A TRIBE.” Work on the brass section for the song “Got It Down.” goes on. (Not easy…but well worth it). Additionally, a couple more overdubs on “Bring it Out” and “Going Yesterday” were laid down this week. Otherwise, mixing continues… when life is generous enough to afford the band time to do so.
– Speaking of “WITHOUT A TRIBE,” the boys in the band have finally designed what will be its album cover. (WooHoo!) A few more minor tweaks are needed, but it’s essentially done. It will be shared… soon.
– Please note (with a temporarily heavy heart) that there will be no GROOVY NOODLES newsletter for the next two weeks: March 3rd and March 10th. (A swollen docket has forced this). The newsletter resumes its normal run on Friday, March 17th.

Four Bands that started with a classified ad…
There were quite a few famous bands that began with a print ad, but these were among the few we could actually find…
Here are four examples of CLASSIFIED ROCK!
Roxy Music – This is the original advertisement from 1971 put in the Melody Maker for a ‘Perfect Guitarist.’. Twenty guitarists applied for the job which was eventually given to Phil O’List.
Kiss – This is the original ad placed by Kiss in the Village Voice in 1972: “Lead guitarist wanted with flash and ability. Album out shortly. No time wasters please.”
Monkees – This is the original ad placed in the Trade Papers in 1965 that started the group (Mike, Micky, Davy and Peter).
Duran Duran – This is the original advertisement by Duran Duran placed in the Melody Maker for a new Lead Rhythm Guitarist. It was Andy Taylor that answered the ad and landed the job.
