In other news, founding TOKYO BLADE guitarist Andy Boulton has issued the following update:

"The new BLADE line up is just fantastic and I can't wait to play with these guys. We got Chris Gillen on vocals who reminds me of Seb Bach in his prime. This guy's range and depth are amazing and I'm proud to be working with him. Same goes for Zo on drums; this guy is a fuckin' powerhouse drummer. Frank, our bassist, is just so solid and talented he is gonna be mind blowing to work with and I really can't wait. Then there's Bryan, of course — the man who got me to put this whole show on the road again, not to mention his guitar skills and dedication from the outset he's my brother!"

"I've been listening to the rehearsal tapes Bryan and his wife Tracy have sent me and it sounds so fuckin' good already. I can't wait to get back over there and join in the fun and see all you guys out there on the road in 2008. I always felt BLADE should have sounded like this and now it does and if I do nothing else musically in my life this will be the greatest ending one could ever hope for."
