and Clutch to tour with them! The tour is being called "Tour Up From The Floor

SP To Appear on Inside Entertainment tv show
Scratching Post were interviewed last Friday at Steve's Music store
in Toronto by Inside Entertainment. Inside Entertainment is sort of a
Canadian version of Entertainment tonight, which airs weekdays nation
wide. In Ontario it airs on OnTV, so be on the look out for that
interview.
SP's on LOUD & Fade Away video
This next Saturday (January 13th) MuchMusic's metal show, LOUD will
feature a news segment on Scratching Post as well as showing SP's
Bloodflame video. Nicole and Mark will guest host a future episode of
LOUD in February. The Scratching Post video "Fade Away" is finished,
but has not been released yet to MuchMusic
and chances are it will
debut when Nicole and Moby co-host the show. Also another reason for
the delay is that the video could have got lost on MuchMusic
with all the
year-end reviews and things going on at the end of the year.
SP Fan Gathering A Huge Success
December 2, Scratching Post fans had their very first Toronto SP fan
gathering! A lot of fans are friends from meeting online and from
meeting at shows so Mike and Heather put together a cool little get-
together for the Southern Ontario SP fans, where everyone met in
Toronto at "C'est What Cafe". Lots of people showed up including
Nicole from SP and it seemed everyone had a great time. It was such a
success that there will definitely be another one, maybe around March
break, although nothing concrete has been planned yet.

SP's TTIP surge up to #10 on the Canadian Campus Radio
Scratching Post's This Time Is Personal has been playing yo-yo on the
Canadian Campus Charts, going up and down, once even dropping off the
charts, only to pop back up quite high the next week. This past
December 8th, the album made it's way up to the highest position yet
at number 10! It's also quite strange that an album would reach such
a point two months after it's been released. Check out the Canadian
Campus Radio Chart at:
http://www.chartattack.com/charts/college/20001208.txt
Unfortunately, the album has now slipped down to number 17 and
there's no new charts yet because of the holiday season, but with the
new tour coming up (see next news item) maybe it will have yet
another surge and make it's way back up.

The Gretsky Project
Last Halloween show this past November Scratching Post did a cool
show in Edmonton with Robin Black & the Intergalactic Rock and most
of the band members dressed up. SP's drummer Jeff didn't have a
costume, but decided to go as Wayne Gretzky, after all they were
playing in Edmonton. Well, at first it started off with Jeff pinning
the number 99 to his bare back!! Still before the gig and too much
booze later, Jeff got Phil to carve out the number 99 onto his
bareback with a knife!! You have to see the pictures to believe it!
