July 2009 looks to be very promising for fin-de-siècle, as there has been talk of a possible concert in the South Garden of the Prudential Center in Boston sometime in August. More details to follow. At the moment working out the logistics of how to deal with falling shattered glass from the three office building in the complex due to the volume, is the biggest problem facing the promoter. The band continues working on new material in the studio for the upcoming album, Through the Absinthe Glass. Demos have been made in the “Fallout Shelter,” of the new material with more to come.
The digital remastering of the hard to find early singles and out-of-print albums from the 1980s has been finished, and are being prepared for re-issue. A special thanks to Stewart Adam of Creative Audio Works for all his hard work in transfering and restoring the masters of Threshold of Pain and …Perchance to Dream, as well as the ultra-rare Paperback Writer 45, backed with Rain featuring Thomas E. Kelly “Super Genius” on bagpipes, not to mention the band’s first single Plan 3 backed with Pistachio. In addition, next month, the first direct digital dub of Delusions of Granduer, will be reissued on the 11th anniversary of it's original release date, on August 16, 2009. Stay tune for more details as they become available.
