Congrats to Shotgun Messiah's Harry K. Cody and his bride Tresa Redburn, who married on June 21.

With Tim Tim shifting to lead vocals, Shotgun Messiah has aquired a new bassist, Bobby Lycon (ex-Guttercats). "It's still a bit awkward to hear myself sing," Tim admits. "I'm nervous, I don't know how people are gonna react." But he's pleased with the new songs, particullary the the ballad "Dreaming", the first he's written. "It's a new territory for us. I think people will be surprised," he says.

How do the members of Sweden's Shotgun Messiah define success? For guitarist Harry Cody, "Success allows me to indulge in excess," bassist Tim Tim can now "use full service at the gas station," and singer Zinny San has moved up to "two ply toilet paper." Drummer Stixx likes the creative rewards, being able "to do what we want without others trying to tell us what to do."...

Maybe it's fallout from Chernobyl, maybe it's got something to do with hayfever season. Whatever the reason, the following lead singers have left their respective bands: "Dizzy" Dean Davidson is no longer with Britny Fox, Zinny J. San is out of Shotgun Messiah, and Joel Ellis has left Cats In Boots. Why? Well, er, Dean just didn't feel like being with Britny anymore, so he's started up a project called Blackeyed Susan. Zinny left "due to the usual clichéd mudical and personal difference." Rumor hazit that the rest of the Cats weren't into the type of music Joel wanted to make (from Mettalix, 1990).
