There are some Australian tour dates listed on www.evandando.com with Eugene.  I have added them to my tour dates section.

On July 20, Eugene will play a session on the Scottish radio show  Beatscene Beat 106 somewhere in between 7-11pm.  I believe that is the GMT time zone.  Those who can't tune in via radio can also listen to it via streaming media at www.beat106.com.

You can buy Eugene's new E.P., Older Faster, now at several online shops, such as Rough Trade. There will also be a reissue of Oomalama on July 28.  It will come with a bonus cd titled 'Captain America Rides Again' which will feature material from some Captain America E.P.s + more.  Neat huh?  You'll be able to buy it from Opalmusic.com or Fire records.

*Thank you Corvid*

(Cut and pasted just for you)

Monorail music is very proud to announce a special evening with Eugene Kelly, which will mark the release of his new ep, older faster on the geographic label. Eugene's new music as represented on this ep seems closer to the innocent sound of the Vaselines than most of his 1990s music, albeit richly Coloured by a reflective neo-folky quality; it is all somewhat gorgeous. Eugene will be available to sign copies of older faster and will perform a few songs. we hope you'll consider making an evening of it in mono, we will have some special dj's (Teenage Fanclub) on too.

Saturday 21st June, 6.30 pm.

Two bits of really good news!  Eugene will be opening for Teenage Fanclub on their UK tour. Check the tour dates page to find out when & where. Eugene will also be releasing a new single, "Older Faster", on Geographic records.  I don't have a date on that yet so check back later.

September 28, 2002

The Last Great Wilderness has hit theatres in the U.K. (sorry U.S.) and here is a link to a decent review.  It doesn't mention anything about Eugene though, so I'm not entirely sure if he is actually in the film.  If anyone sees the movie please confirm.  As a heads up, you may want to check out the soundtrack. ---Thanks Allan for the tip

Latest post from Eugene:'"My album, Man Alive, is now finished and  I am now in the process of finding a label that will put it out some time in the new year."

June 1, 2002

Remember that movie I mentioned a while back? The title is "The Last Great Wilderness" and Eugene Kelly makes a guest appearance in it. It hasn't been released yet and I have no idea what it's supposed to be about. I wonder if it will ever reach the shores of America.

May 26, 2002

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for Eugene. This was posted by Eugene on the Teenage Fanclub board: "I'm really enjoying playing live just now and, this year alone, have played shows supporting Jon Auer, Belle and Sebastian, Ken Stringfellow and Evan Dando and will be at King Tuts with Neil Halstead from Mohave 3. The title of the (new) album is 'Man Alive' and the sleeve photo was supposed to be a picture of me naked as Adam looking for Eve in the garden of Eden but i chickened out, so back to the drawing board."

April 17,2002

A very kind gal named Maureen sent me an e-mail after seeing Eugene Kelly open for Belle & Sebastian in Italy. She said that Eugene played alone with just acoustic guitar and harmonica. He played a couple of Vaseline's songs at the show: Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam & Molly's Lips. Wish I could've been there : (

March 18,2002

I received an e-mail that a tour date is posted for Eugene Kelly and Evan Dando. The performance will be on April 28 @ the Forum in Aberdeen (Scotland). For less confusion, here is the link to the listing.

April 25, 2001

Eugene Kelly makes another guest appearance! Is he the king of guest appearances or what? This time he appears on the Future Pilot AKA album "Tiny Waves Might See".

January 15,2001

Superstar will release a bonus disc in limited quantities with the release of their new LP, "Six More Songs". Eugene Kelly guests on one of the songs included on the bonus disk.

September 14,2000

I have received news from Ken of www.powerpop.org that Eugenius along with Superstar will be playing at the Knitting Factory in New York on October 25th. If anyone went to the show please drop me a line or a review that I can post. Thanks again Ken.

August 30,2000

Unfortunately there's not a lot of news to report on Eugene or Eugenius. Most recently Eugene appeared on a tribute to the Beach Boys called Caroline Now with other indie supertstars. He also made a few tour appearances in the UK last year.
