Rumours
After many weeks of rumours and innuendo, it is now official. We can now confirm that one of the worlds’s most revered rock ‘n’ roll bands Smart Artists have not split!
Move over U2, move over Destiny’s Child, move over Radiohead, Korn, Creed, Fred Durst and his Limp Bizkit and all you other Pretenders (actually they were a good band), ’cause Smart Artists are back to reclaim their rightful position!In a feature article covering their forthcoming return in February,
Time Magazine recently reported that, by the end of the 2006, 8 out of every 10 household music collections included a copy of Smart Artists ‘Route 66′. Only 3 other artists hold this distinction those being Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” and Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”! (and look where those acts are now !)
The boys will be releasing a much-anticipated follow up to Route 66 shortly. Stay tuned to the Official Smart Artists website for an imminent announcement on more exciting developments. We caught up with lead singer Shannon Beaumont, just before he was about to be whisked away by stretch limo to a secret destination in Melbourne, Australia where it is understood Smart Artists are underway with rehearsals for their forthcoming February gigs.
Shannon remarked, “I can’t believe it, what’s all the fuss? We’ve only been off having a well earned break”.
“The guys are really pumped and looking forward to blowing away all those wimpy manufactured pop acts and stupid over produced boy bands, lets put some real rock ‘n’ roll back on the agenda! We promise our fans will not be disappointed in 2007, this is serious”, he added.
In the words of that song from the fantastic jam that the boys did with Thin Lizzy at that famous back yard 2004 gig ……..”The boys ARE back in town”!!!
