SPOCK'S BEARD Hope To Release New Live DVD By End Of The Year

SPOCK'S BEARD bassist Dave Meros has issued the following update:

"Hi Everybody,

We've been pretty quiet lately, so I thought I'd let you know what's going on in Beardland.

The band is really looking forward to playing in Québec City on July 6th (see more details here). It is a really nice festival and our first time in Canada, so we're pretty excited about it.

We're also excited about the DVD that we shot in Holland in May. I'm not sure when it will be released, but I'm guessing it will be near the end of the year. We saw a few minutes of work-in-progress footage, and it looks great! Hats off to the film crew and Andi Platte, our lighting tech who did a spectacular job.

That's it for now. . but we'll keep you posted on anything new and exciting."

Cheers!
Dave
