| Old Man, I want to thank you so much for bring up The Pretty Things. I bought Rage before Beauty and am now completely besotted and in love! I actually went out and paid for a brand new copy of Balboa Island. How can these people be so unknown? I played it for my grandson in the car, and I asked him how old he thought these guys were. He thought they were in their 30's. Then I showed him the picture. Ha-ha-ha! Keep rockin' and you never get old! |

| Glad you're enjoying the Pretty's Barb. There is a book about the Pretty Things by Alan Lakey called Growing Old Disgracefully that came out about 3 years ago, well worth a read. The title of the book sums them up perfectly. |

| I heard they were banned in NZ for Vivian Prince, the deranged drummer, setting the club on fire during their set. What a bunch of wussies (heh-heh). I must see Phil May sing before one of us dies. I can't find any info on where or if they are appearing anywhere. Isn't it customary for a band to tour after releasing a record? |

| Finding any current information on the Pretty Things is notoriously difficult. They don't have an official website(that's kept up to date), they do have a myspace site but there is no info about any tour. The word about a tour came from their record label I beleive, on the release of Balboa Island. I also beleive the tour was going to start in the U.S. According to this new site - http://www.alllightup.com/tour.php the tour is UK and Europe. One date I do know of in the UK is at the Eel Pie Club in Twickenham, Friday Nov 30. The best place for what limited info there is seems to be this site - http://www.pretties.de/ The discussion forum is the place to look, not the guest book so much. |

| Dear Old Man, I'm going to London for the concert at Eel Pie Club. Now is a good time for cheap airfare, so I might as well. Seize the day, right? Thank you so much for the info! |

| According to the Eric Burdon book, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, Kim Kesterson played bass in The Eric Burdon Band/1974. They made two albums, Sun Secrets and Stop. "These were released by Capitol Records without my(Eric Burdon's) permission and now appear together on one CD, Sun Secrets/Stop." |

| I wish I could go too Barb, it should be great. I'm still hoping for more dates so I don't have to travel all the way from north east Scotland. |
