Though it has not yet been confirmed by the group's spokesperson, look for a possible guest appearance by Twiggy, along with members of Def Leppard, in the Strokes' next video clip, "Someday". Guest artists who are confirmed to appear so far are former Guns N'Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum and members of Guided By Voices. No release date has been set for the video, which will be directed by Roman Coppola, son of film director Francis Ford Coppola.
A Marilyn Manson pay-per-view concert has been confirmed by www.indemand.com, to premiere on Saturday, August 3 (no time given), with replay dates as follows: August 10 (10:00 p.m.); August 11 (12:00 a.m., 9:30 p.m.); August 14 (10:00 p.m.); August 15 (9:00 p.m.); August 17 (12:00 a.m.); August 18 (1:00 a.m.). All times are Eastern Standard Time. Since this show was filmed on the Guns, God and Government tour, it will hopefully include some nice footage of Twiggy, as opposed to two hours of just Manson, Manson and more Manson.
Twiggy was on hand at the Troubadour in LA Tuesday night (18th), where friends and former tour mates Monster Magnet played a sold out show. At midnight, Dave Wyndorf introduced "Brother Ramirez" to the crowd as Twiggy joined the band onstage for a full 20 minute version of their classic, "Spine of God", utilizing what was described as a blond telecaster, eminating "spacey, liquidy sound effects". Reviews of those in attendance concurred that this was a "hugely epic moment" and "the highlight" of what was an overall tight, kick ass show.
And of course, this being June 20th, basetendencies.com would like to wish Twiggy a very happy birthday and best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful year to come.
Twiggy played DJ on Friday night at the Dragonfly Club in West Hollywood, where Nitzer Ebb's Bon Harris showcased his latest project, Maven, which features Bon on vocals. Harris, as you may recall, took credit for editing, programming and pre-production on Marilyn Manson's Holywood.
