Guy Manning's Charlestown is almost ready to chew, as he announces: "The new album Charlestown is now available for pre-order from the Manning website. A sample edit from the album [was] posted up there this weekend." Plus, his October 23 show at The Peel, Kingston-upon-Thames, London, England will serve as the album launch party (the album will be released October 25). Special guests for the launch show are Destroy All Monsters, Dec Burke's new group; doors open at 7:30pm. "Evening dress is optional OR you can come dressed as a sailor from the late 1700s to fit in with the album theme," the site notes [but doesn't say, so we'll add: that doesn't mean that being dressed is optional, you must be attired in the entire, even if you have a "rockin' bod" -ed.]
[Ok, it's a Charleston Chew... but the word means the same with or without a "w" (that is, Charlestown vs Charleston, not che vs chew ;-) ) ... -edibles ed.]
