Two really cool SP fans, Heather and Mike have put together a little Scratching Post fan
party,
which is happening this Saturday December 2, at around 3pm at "C'est What Cafe" in Toronto. A lot of Scratching Post fans have met each
other at shows and/or online, so this is a little party to get together and talk away from blasting music that's at the shows.
Nicole from the band should also be there, and I'm not sure, but maybe she might drag along some of the other band members with her.
If all goes well, people will try to start making these little get-togethers happen on a regular basis. This is open to everyone and
they purposely picked an all ages place so everyone could hang out. |

An ad for the new Scratching Post album is in this month's Chart Magazine. Only it says "Scratching Post III" which was what the album originally was going to be called. Also the ad says "August 2000" which is also no longer true as the new album has been delayed until September 1st. However, it's still the first look of how the new Scratching Post logo looks like. I should have a scan of it up on my website soon!
|
July 20, 2000 |
The FINAL release date for the new SP album is SEPTEMBER 5th, 2000!! It was pushed so far back because of art work and photo delays. There should be no more delays as everything has been properly scheduled. The first single will be Fade Away, look for it to hit the radio waves around mid-August along with ads int he local music mags. |
July 14, 2000 |
The new album has once again been delayed because of problems with the photographs & artwork. I don't know what the new release date is (hopefully it will only be one week late) but as soon as I find out I will report it right away on this site. I've also seen the cover, but unfortunately I can't releave any of the details as I've been sworn to secrecy. However I will have a picture of the new cover up on by at least the release date maybe a couple of days sooner if Nicole lets me. What I will say about the cover it that it's one of the best album covers I've seen in a while! If you haven't already check out work by Dimitri Patelis at: http://www.patelisentertainment.ca/ All of his work is really top class and the current cover is no exception! Woohoo!! Can't wait for the new album to come out!! |
July 6, 2000 |
The voting for the new album title is over! The official title is now "This Time It's Personal", which I think is kinda cliche and cheesy, but this album is still going to ROCK!! |
July 5, 2000 |
Nicole set-up a online voting booth to get fan reaction on possible album title names. Meanwhile in SP fasion news, Nicole has changed her hair, from the almost trademark red hair to a neon orange, with chunks of pink at the ends of her hair. She did this just before the band started doing photo shoots for the new album, so expect to see that in the linear notes in the new album! =) |
July 3, 2000 |

June 19, 2000 |
The release date has been pushed back yet again, but this time only by a week. The new release date is Tuesday August 1st.

Also the newest rumors about a release party now include a in-store signing and show at HMV! |

The Reader's Poll that Chart was running has finally come to close. Destruction Of the Universe came in at #9 in Best Canadian Album beating out some albums of the bigger bands like Moist, Len, Sarah McLachlan, Wide Mouth Mason and Blue Blue Rodeo. Meanwhile Nicole came in #7 in Sexiest Canadian Woman, as well as #7 in Best Hair Cut! Now I think Nicole and SP should have been higher up as because cheating during the poll, the Chart staff had a bit of a say who ended up where in the poll. Still SP & Nicole did pretty good for a small independent band!! |
