Oct. 21. 2001 ---The band is still auditioning bass players and are dropping the name Stuck On Evil (it has served us well, but we have outgrown it) - We are going back to Three Ton Gate (3TG).

__________________________________________

Sept. 23. 2001 ---TOUR CANCELED-here's what JC has to say: SORRY THIS IS ALL IN CAPS BUT I HAVE A BROKEN WRIST - FIRST OFF, MARTIN DID NOT HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY IN NYC - HE QUIT THE BAND AND TOUR 5 DAYS LATER FOR REASONS OTHER THAN THE ATTACKS - WE WERE GOING TO CONTINUE THE TOUR DESPITE THE ATTACKS AND MY INJURING MYSELF - WE WERE FORCED TO CANCEL DUE TO THE LACK OF A BASS PLAYER. WE PLAYED ONE SHOW WITH NO BASS PLAYER IN CLEVELAND AND ROBIN FROM JACK OFF JILL SAT IN WITH US IN DETROIT. AFTER THAT SCOTT DECIDED FOR BUSINESS REASONS TO RESCHEDULE THE TOUR IN SPRING. WE APLOGIZE - WE HAD EVERY INTENTION OF CONTINUING. WE ARE NOW LOOKING FOR A NEW BASS PLAYER.

July 27 2001--- The Official Stuck on Evil Website is up!!!

_________________________________________________

July 02. 2001--- Here's what JC said recently on the Yahoo Stuck On Evil Board:"Your patience with us will be rewarded - we are shopping the CD now and our boy Jason says he's getting some nibbles from Artemis Records (Spacehog, Kittie) and Man's Ruin (The Queens of the Stoneage) - Jason knows his shit and is making sure everything is done right. As soon as we have artwork and copies, we'll start getting them out. Our "Official" website will be up sometime this week - I saw the trial version and it was pretty cool - I also have someone putting some MP3s up and as soon as I know where they are I'll post it. I picked my favorite 3 songs which are pretty strange. Sugar Rush is a creepy, sacharin sweet song about candy - I use a heavy effect on my vocals that raises and lowers my voice by an octave. The Passion of St. Augustine is your standard tune about an obese retarded guy that obsessively mows other peoples lawns - Scott and I do a funny little skit in the middle of that one. Pog Mo Thoin is a song about an megalomaniac performer (Hmmm? I wonder who?) that demands the entire world on a silver platter right now. Pog Mo Thoin means "kiss my ass" in Irish. While these 3 songs are not a good representation of our overall sound, they are our newer songs that show what kind of sense of humor we have and our songwriting direction. The newest song "Pyromancy" which is not on the album (we will play it live though) is completely diffent from everything else we've done. That's what I love about this band - while we have an overall direction, our music has a life of it's own that just takes over. Thanks to everyone for pitching in and making this work - we really do appreciate it."

---March 18. 2001---

This is a review of Stuck on Evil's performance from Feb. 21. There's a smart-ass in every crowd. This time it was one of our own, the one cheeky enough to utter the remark designed to get a rise out of former Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky during the debut of his new band, Stuck on Evil, at the Poor House February 21. A bigger-than-usual midweek crowd of friends, hangers-on, and the curious came out of the woodwork to check out the fledgling four-piece, which also includes former Basketcase singer JC Reilly, ex¯Mindflower bassist Martin Davis and drummer Smoothy Jimmy Bobo. After the first song, an intriguing mix of slow, darkly malevolent swirls, said smart-ass called out for Manson's "The Beautiful People," prompting Putesky's withering stare and three pointedly short words: "Fuck. Right. Off." Can't really blame Putesky (known as Daisy Berkowitz back in the days when Trent Reznor would rise early to cook breakfast for the whole band), who was excommunicated from Manson's carnivorous carnival back in 1996. Since he wrote much of the music heard on the first two Marilyn Manson albums, it's been somewhat of a mystery why he's chosen to wait so long to get back into the game. He even waited a bit longer to allow the crowd leaving the A Perfect Circle gig in Sunrise to trickle into the Poor House. But now he's back, and if the Poor House gig was any indication, Stuck on Evil is taking the job seriously, and the well-practiced foursome came ready to impress. The 40-minute set laid out a smorgasbord of tasty items: We had our pick of metallic slabs of Sabbathian carnage and searing briquettes of white-hot melody fragments encased in distortion. The band became a pack of starving dogs while tearing apart the carcass of the Beatles' "I'm Only Sleeping." Then it belched out dark, slow, minor-chord dirges while Reilly used a voice synthesizer to emulate a baleful wolf. Swaggering with a confidence rarely seen in a band playing its first-ever show, Putesky and company took a swing at Sabbath's "The Wizard" and smacked it senseless. Reilly channeled Ozzy so perfectly, he looked ready to order out for a hot bat sandwich. Reilly is a more-than-capable frontman, synthesizing a cocky blend of Mike Patton egotronics, Morrison charm and tone, and Biafraesque humor. Before, during, and after the performance, he told us to be on alert for the crews who would be shooting footage for both Where Are They Now? and Before They Were Rock Stars. Putesky likes to lie low (and to wear bug-eyed glasses), but Stuck on Evil still feels like his show. Anxious to see the next episode. Shortly thereafter, Chicken Box proceeded to do what it does best: clear the room. But that's just fine. These are the nights when hanging at a table outside the Poor House is as sweet as a vacation in Bali. By Jeff Stratton Source: New Times

March 01. 2001---

Here is a review of the Spooky Kids album.The Spooky Kids Volume 1 Track Listing: DISC 1: Red (In My) Head, Dune Buggy, Insect Pins, Learning to Swim, Negative Three, Meat For A Queen, White Knuckles, Scaredy Cat, Thingmaker, Thrift, DISC 2: She's Not My Girlfriend, Choklit Factory, Luci In The Shy With Demons, Big Mother, Magic 8 Ball, Forest Head, Suicide Snowman, IV. TV, Junk The Magic Dragon, Scapegoat, Let Your Ego Die

Holy Crap Kiddies, this is the real deal right here. You might have heard badly bootleged versions of these songs on tapes, or bootleg CD's, but this is the original band, Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, with some of their most obscure & rare recordings of all time! This compilation was compiled by Mr. Scott Putesky aka Daisy Berkowitz. The sound quality is crystal clear & beautiful. The versions you might have heard of these songs can't even compare to what this disc has on it....every version was for the most part never released! "Thrift", "Suicide Snowman", & "Scapegoat" are live in the rehearsal studio versions, & there are alot of tracks like "Scapegoat", "Forest Head" & "Big Mother" which were NEVER released before now! "Red (in my) Head" is a song that I have personally been looking for for a long time & finally I have a clean version of it....I was able to find a really harsh live version, but this CD gives the Marilyn Manson fan a true look into the genius that was Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids....it makes you realize that the brains of the band musically was Scott Putesky/Daisy & Brad/Gidget Gein. Obviously, Scott didn't go for the standard singles that made Portrait of an American Family, but instead went for the rare stuff, the stuff that shows you that the band was trying to make music that was different & music that stood for something, while at the same time they were trying to break new ground in a dead music circuit. This 2 CD set will be available at some point, & when you get it, you will be like me & go absolutely berserk, because this CD is super, mega, cool if you are a fan of good music!

March 01. 2001--- Here is a recent interview with the man himself:Rock N Roll Experience's interview with Daisy Berkowitz had the rare opportunity to interview Scott Mitchell AKA Daisy Berkowitz, former guitar player for Marilyn Manson & tried to ask the most intersting questions , so here's here's what Mr. Putesky had to say...I have to say that I was intrigued by his answers & think you will be amused too!

Rock N Roll Experience: What did you think of Holywood? Scott: I don't have a copy and I've only heard Disposable Teens which is basically Beautiful People part III

Rock N Roll Experience: Have you talked to any of the members of Marilyn Manson since you left? Scott: only a few...and briefly...not in two years

Rock N Roll Experience: Have you listened to Gidget Gein's solo CD, did you like it, & do you still talk to him? Scott: I haven't heard it and I don't talk to him

Rock N Roll Experience: Does it make you mad when people refer to you as Daisy? Scott: it doesn't make me mad ...at this point it's a bit annoying... especially from people that appreciate me as a musician

Rock N Roll Experience: Do you ever read the Marilyn manson BBS board? Scott: ...no

Rock N Roll Experience: How does your new music sound? Is it rock, techno, pop? Scott: I hate to distill with misleading descriptions but I'd put it in rock.....with various acknowledgements of surf,goth,pop and tecno where appropriate

Rock N Roll Experience: How was it to work with Godhead? Scott: I worked with just Jason Miller...a great guy and singer...It was quite easy and pleasant writing I Sell Society with him...it only took a few hours

Rock N Roll Experience: Did you like the Godhead CD? Scott :I just got it ...'have'nt listened to it yet

Rock N Roll Experience: Would you ever played or write with Marilyn Manson again? Scott: I wouldn't trust shaking his hand...there will be no reunion...

Rock N Roll Experience: Who is in your new band & what is the bands name? Scott: My new band is called Stuck On Evil...I play guitar and sing back-up vocals,John Cain Riley sings lead,Jim'Smoothie' McDonald plays drums and Martin Davis plays bass... J.C. came from the band Basketcase,Martin is from Mind- -flower and Smoothie is from Davie

Rock N Roll Experience: What has been the highlight of your career in music so far? Scott:...that's a tough one ...I'll take the kid's meal and say .....playing Madison Square Garden

Rock N Roll Experience: Do you collect any toys? Scott: yes,many...alot of Star Wars and LEGO...tons of various action figures...Amreicana...pop culture...70's TV...horror...

Rock N Roll Experience: Do you get recognized in public alot? Scott: ...not too often...but then I don't go out much...

Rock N Roll Experience: Finish this sentence: Scott Mitchell is... Scott: ...a football player...Scott Mitchell Putesky is a talented musician

Rock N Roll Experience: Finish this Sentence: Brian Warner/Marilyn Manson is... Scott: ...a big baby...

Rock N Roll Experience: Did you like the Demystifying the Devil Manson Documentary Video? Scott: ...no,not at all...poor craftsmanship and the producers have little right to tell our story

Rock N Roll Experience: Do you still talk to Sara Lee? Scott: ...no

Rock N Roll Experience: What did you think of the statement that Marilyn Manson made about you & Zim Zum where he said he wished you two would release new music & stop living off of him? Scott: three things.....I may not be where I am without him but he definitely wouldn't be where he is without me.....he seems to have forgotten that I gave him a carreer in the first place..... he unwittingly proves again that his best talent is trying to piss people off...

Rock N Roll Experience: Was Manson always so mean to his fans...I met him & he wouldn't let me get a picture taken with him. Scott: to the best of my memory he's never liked fans...he just wants attention and to be taken seriously...when you listen to Lunchbox, think of the irony

Rock N Roll Experience: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans? Scott: I love and appreciate you all...thank you for your interest and support...I wouldn't be who I am without you...

& with that clsoing statement, I'd like to thank Scott for a great interview & thank you for taking the time to read it! Source: Click Here.

September 27. 2000--- On 9.18.00 Marilyn Manson answered questions to his fans and one of the questions were: Do you have any harsh feelings toward Scott or Zim Zum? His answer was: " I don't feel I still am bothered by their behavior but anytime someone sues you, you're not going to want and give them flowers for it. It's a very unpleasent experience, but I'm waiting anxiously and without any judgement for whatever music they're going to create. If they were such an important part of Marilyn Manson, they've had a lot of time to start their own band and the opportunity of being associated with Marilyn Manson. It gives them a really strong foot in the door but I haven't really seen anything from them yet. I'd like them to step up to the plate and make music like I've continued to do, but I wish them no harm and I hope the best for them. If you would like to hear the clip for youself go MarilynManson.com/News to and its 48 seconds into the interview. Part II. Source: The Minister

If you wish to be removed from this mailing list please type "remove" in the subject bar of a reply e-mail. If you have recieve a duplicate please do the same with "duplicate" in the subject bar. Dope..... March 12th at the Chili Pepper (Ft.Lauderdale), I finally got to see my good friend Edsel Dope play with his (eponymously named) band. After years of hearing him groan and whine about living in Brooklyn and struggling to get signed and go on tour, I was treated to a great live show of hard, heavy no-nonsense rock. Thier debut release "Felons and Revolutionaries" is out now on FLIP Records and the band is touring inceaseantly including a stint on MTV's The Return of the Rock tour. As soon as Dope get their mobile studio gear I'll be catching their bus to work on new tunes with them... I think they want me to play guitar or something...(?) Ft.Lauderdale bands..... If your'e in the neighborhood anytime soon and you love rock-pop-punk from the 80's,you must see The Clap. Rob Elba from the Holy Terros, Pete G. and Chris H. (Team Fiend is GO!) from Radio Bagdad and Mike Bocsusis somehow remain sober enough to put on a very fun show. The Nerve harken back to the 80's as well with sounds and songs akin to My Bloody Valentine, the Smiths and Curve...see them and take note of Howard Melnicks lush red-carpet of sounds. Foo Fighters..... June 14th at the Mars Music Center (West Palm Beach) I had the privelege of catching Foo Fighters who had one of the most dynamic sets I'd seen in a long time. My good friend and chiropractor-to-the-stars (she knows everybody in the biz) Dr.Sharon Zadanoff introduced me to Dave Grohl who was extra-nice...I think because his lovely-and-talented soul mate Mellissa AufDerMauer was present. It took Miss A. a while to recognize me without the green hair but we had a nice talk after she had. Jack Off Jill..... after finishing their brilliant and final record "Clear Hearts, Gray Flowers" the band experienced serious label problems and internal strife leading to their early break-up. I toured with them in the summer of '98 and played on their re-mix EP "Covetous Creatures" but have not worked with them since. We are still friends though and I wish Jessicka, Robin and Clint all the best. Michal..... (pronounced Meh-kaal) a new, young artist on Sony/RPM, Michal is part Shirley Manson, part Kim Novak and a lot of talent. I played guitar for this young lady at last years South by Southwest and we have been friends ever since. Her new album "Sky with Stars" is out now and should be purchased all who prize passion, sorrow, melody...driving rhythms accompanied by delicate piano and cello don't hurt either. The Spooky Kids..... The Spooky Kids project is a catalog of old and unreleased Manson songs that only a few people have heard but many are curious about. I have all the 4-track tapes used when I recorded us from 1990 to 1994 and am casually seeking a distributor so that present day Manson fans can enjoy these twisted, sullen, pulsating and happilly psychotic songs...a serious chunk of recent music history. Yes, those of you who know who you are will soon receive promotional copies. Stuck On Evil..... This is it! My new band...that's right, after moaning on and on about how I didn't want one...I got one...and it's a damn good gig. After numerous false starts, R.O.D. (myself and Rich Penney) has evolved into this stellar new sound and line-up. Honorary redneck and alleged Bass fishing champ Rich P. plays bass...true redneck and petting zoo manager "Smoothy" Jimmy Bobo is behind the drums...the new baby in the crib is J.C. Riley (J.C.,the second helping) of Basketcase infamy...definitely a vocalist-to-be-reckoned-with...and I play (you guessed it) guitar. It's hard for me to be objective but I'll say it sounds reminiscent of Weezer and Helmet playing together if they existed in the 70's. (Whaddaya want from me, a straight answer?) Stuck On Evil may be playing out around early October. Three Ton Gate..... I get a lot of people asking when Three Ton Gate will be touring...for (hopefully) the last time, 3TG is NOT a touring band...it is a collaboration project headed by me and may include any number of musical guests/friends. I am always working on songs for the forthcoming full-length album to be called Rumspringa (a strange but respectful Amish concept whereby parents let their teens live like the rest of us for a while then let the children decide if they wish to return to the fold). Rumspringa will be filled with darkness and beauty and will contain some of my best work to date...sorry, no release date yet. For more information go to www.spookykids.com/threetongate ...and yes, we know it needs updating...we are working on it. (If you or anyone you know is familiar with the Pennsylvania Dutch tongue, please contact me...I"m looking for phrases). Wally Voss..... My friend and luthier Mitchel Weissman lost a good friend in 1992...his name was Wally Voss and he was a talented bass player who lost a battle with Hodgkins disease far too early in his life and career. Mitch has the last tapes Wally made and I recently re-mastered them for him...promotional CDs are available through Scorpion Rising (address below). Much thanks and hellos go out to: Nicole Blackman, John Van Eaton, Garrett Rentz, Chris Meyer, Jason Miller and Godhead (Post-Human), Bloodhound Gang, Grim Jack, Richard Wolfe,Esq., The Poorhouse, Digital Beach studios, The Hep Cat-Boo Daddys, Toy Store studios, Randy Wolpin at Pooch! Booking, Punchdrunk and all the fine folks at Toys'R'Us and Tate's Comics/Ft.Lauderdale.

January 26,2000--- Marilyn Manson WILL stay on Nothing Records, but the Priority Records deal is to sign bands Manson picks to be on it only and Godhead might be one of the first bands to be signed to the priority label.Source: Seems Like Salvation

_____________________________________________

January 20,2000--- On November 20th, a Nothing Records source of ours informed SLS Godhead had a possible chance to be signed to Nothing Records, if not Maverick Records at the time.There is a possibility that the band will sign with a label that Marilyn Manson is considering starting, through Nothing Records." After SLS learned of this new information, they quickly passed the story to their Nothing source so he could confirm since he was also friends with Godhead. Fortunately, he wrote back last night and it turns out it's true, well some of it! Here's the scoop, "Although the label will not go through Nothing Records or be connected in any way," says SLS's source, "Marilyn Manson's label is going to go through Source: Priority Records." The rap label that features such major acts as Ice Cube, Master P, Snoop Dogg and Mack 10, "seems that they want to start producing some rock music," adds our source. "From what they understand Godhead most likely will be signed to this label (no name for the label yet) and Tony Ciulla [Manson's manager] has some part in this as well." Godhead's last album "Power Tool Stigmata" which contained an industrial cover of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby", got some radio air play about a year ago. Since then they've toured with Jack Off Jill, GWAR, Christian Death, and Switchblade Symphony. As an added bonus the band got together with ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist Scott Putesky,and wrote a song titled "I Sell Society" which will appear on their forthcoming release "Two Thousand Years of Human Error." This will be a full-length release of 12-15 songs, featuring appearances & contributions by Reeves Gabrels (of David Bowie, Tin Machine), and others. Producer Reeves Gabrels and engineer Danny Saber (NIN, Manson) are expected to join the project says the official Godhead web site. Source: Seems Like Salvation

December 09,1999--- Seems like Seems like Salvation has taken the article down.The demos and Gigdet are two different things.Gigdet has a new album out called "Confessions of a Spooky Kid" In the very same article (since he used to be with manson)the magazine mentions that Manson is supposed to release a live Spooky Kids performance cd.I decided not to put up the adverisement for the Confessions of a Spooky Kid since its for Gidget and the Dali Gaggers and has nothing to do with SMP or TTG.I don't know if Manson will be releasing a live Spooky Kids album or not but if anything comes up, I'll post it.

Decenber 08,1999--- Marilyn Manson + The Spooky Kids: Live and Unreleased Studio Demos: Gidget Gein released a cd of Spooky Kids stuff in 98 and has released another album called "confessions of a spookykid".

November 19,1999--- SMP to be on Nothing Records?!?!...In September of this year,it was said that SMP wrote a song titled "I Sell Society" which will appear on the possible nothing records release because Godhead has a chance to be signed to the Reznor label. Source: Seems Like Salvation.

November 04,1999--- I bought "God is in the TV" and Scott is in the videos (Dopehat,Sweet Dreams, Get Your Gunn, and Lunchbox). No new footage of Scott and he and Zim Zum weren't blurred out in the videos. I noticed that in Demystifying the Devil Video that one of the people being interiewed was wearing a Three Ton Gate shirt. Which I thought was pretty cool. Source: The Minister

_____________________________________________

October 18,1999---Mr. Manson is releasing a video cassette with all of the music videos called "God is in the Tv". The list is: 1. “Coma White” 2. “Rock Is Dead” 3. “I Don’t Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)” 4. “The Dope Show” 5. “Long Hard Road Out Of Hell” 6. “Cryptorchid” 7. “Man That You Fear” 8. “Tourniquet” 9. “The Beautiful People 10. “Sweet Dreams” 11. “Dope Hat” 12. “Lunchbox” 13. “Get Your Gunn” I hope they don't blur Scott out like they did in Dead to the World. If they do, then they'll probably going to have to do the same and blur Zim Zum out, which would make the video a piece of garbage and stupid.Whatever happened to the music video for "Thrift"? I Guess Manson doesn't want to put any Spooky Kids stuff on there or he just wants it to be Marilyn Manson material. The video will be available on November 2. This has nothing to do with Scott or TTG but I think this is pretty cool. The official Nine Inch Nails website is asking you, if you're interested, to submit your demo tapes to: PO BOX 161095 Cleveland, OH 44116. If you are also interested in submitting material for the female vocalist position Trent has mentioned in the press recently, send your work to: PO BOX 16948 Cleveland, OH 44116 All of your work should contain photos and contact information. All other mail can be sent to: P.O. Box 16681 Cleveland, OH 44116. The official NIN site also says that material received that is inappropriate for the specific P.O Box will be discarded.Source: Seems Like Salvation. and the Minister.

October 11,1999--- My review of Demystifying The Devil: I think its a great video, it has alot of rare/unseen and early footage about the band (Marilyn Manson/Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids) from the early days. They talk and show Scott not too much through out the film but he is there.I give the video a 7 out of 10.If you're a Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids fan, I think its worth the money. If you just want to see Scott borrow it from someone who has the video.If you have seen the film and want to comment on it, comment are welcome, just e-mail.

October 01,1999--- Scott Putesky Comments About Demystifying The Devil The director of the Marilyn Manson home video documentary "Demystifying The Devil," Chris Nicholas wrote this to explain he was on the phone with KNDD 107.7 in Seattle on September 27, in the morning with some pretty interesting feed back about his Marilyn Manson documentary. Nicholas explained to , "They are the radio station that sent Scott Putesky aka Daisy Berkowitz to The Big Day Out Festival that Manson played at in New Zealand [last year]." The radio station conducted a live on air interview with Putesky and Nicholas. Putesky, "was in their studio in Seattle and they called me and we all spoke over the phone. Overall, it went really well," adds Nicholas. "Scott thought that I gave Missi, Mr. Manson's ex-girlfriend, too much air time in Demystifying The Devil. I told him that it was my documentary and I thought Missi deserved even more time on camera. I explained that she was there with Manson, practically from the beginning and a lot of Manson's autobiography talks about her," adds Nicholas. "I felt that she deserved a forum to say what she had to say. Obviously, she thought so too, so she allowed us to interview her." When Putesky recently sat down to watch the documentary he mentioned to Nicholas on air the quote Missi said about him, "Scott is such a hard person to work with." Nicholas explained to that it annoyed him little bit after hearing his reaction. "What he didn't realize is that Manson must have come home everyday from the studio to Missi explaining his frustrations about Scott," explains Nicholas. Source: Seems Like Salvation. I'll put up my review of the video soon.

SMP is hard at work on some covers, (yeah I know);so you want to know what his influences were, it's not all that dark, should surprise some of you. Source: Manjushri

September 17, 1999---Three Ton Gate at Spookykids.com has been updated. The pictures of Scott are gone and all it has is a GJ graphic for Grim Jack,skulls (C) 1999, and a symbol with a blueish backround and you could e-mail Grim Jack.

August 28, 1999---Scott is in the midst of setting up a new studio here in Ft.Lauderdale and once it's all (or partially) ready he'll begin recording new material as well as re-recording some older material.....before the first full-length Three Ton Gate CD is done there may be an "in-between" compilation album of un-released music that did not appear on "Vanishing Century" and some tunes that may be demo forms of songs that will appear on the next album...Source: the man himself...Scott

August 26, 1999---About www.spookykidsclubhouse.com, Scott wants to keep the site basic, so far they only agreed on a font, (this one's called Drugpusher-from Chank Diesel); They've also only agreed on the background , (that's one of the original Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids flyers). The photo is only temporary, we haven't chosen anything "permanent" yet, lots to choose from. Source: Manjushri

August 19, 1999---Great news...Scott's lawyer is cutting a deal with a Sony subsidiary Red/Warlock(something to that effect), the push is on to get the demos out by HALLOWEEN, Christmas at the latest. A possible choice for artwork might be Marc Silvestri of the comic book the Darkness (TopCow/Image comics), Another guy might be a friend of Scott's, Skot Olsen check his stuff out at www.rottenrecords.com, be forewarned their server is slow. Source: Manjushri

August 18, 1999---They are working on the mailing list/e-mail list, it's taking some time to put it all together because Scott has a lot of double and triple copies of old order forms, and e-mails. The song Scott recorded with Jason Miller of the D.C. band Godhead will be on a forthcoming album by them that should be produced by Reeves Gabriels of David Bowie fame. Godhead should be touring in the next couple of months, check them out.No word on the old demos yet,they were brought up to New York last week hopefully have more to say soon. The web site is being revamped slowly but surely, so keep checking back.Source: Manjushri

August 14, 1999---keep an eye out for new TTG music and a possible 2cd early MM and the SpookyKids demos soon. I listened to some of the remixed/mastered demos yesterday and thought some of the songs were better than most of the stuff on POAFF and Antichrist, I won't even comment on MechAnimals.Anyone notice Scott's guitar during the Sixth Sense commercials, came from the cover of ScreamingJayHawkins "I Put A Spell On You". Did you see this week's Dateline NBC story about the self proclaimed "Lords of Chaos", Scott&Brian's(MM) music was all over the place.Source: Manjushri

August 06, 1999---Chico and Scott are working on updating the original web page "http://www.spookykids.com/threetongate" and a new site will be up soon at "http://www.spookykidsclubhouse.com". Stay tuned for more details as they become available.Source: Manjushri
