Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 14:20:54 +0200 (EET) From: Roger That Fanclub Subject: rtf newsletter (march/2004) Greetings from the Official Roger That Fanclub Internationale! ### Long time, no sea! It's been a long time since our last newsletter. A lot has happened, to us and to you. Four Christmases have gone by and our presents to the world have been pretty controversial. Roger That fanclub sends peace to you all. Be happy today! ### Fanclub site updated We are back with a new webmaster, Joseph Green. The site is still very incomplete and it will take a lot of work to update it to date. A lot of new Roger That albums have been found. Joseph has scanned the cover art for some of them and one is also available for download in ogg vorbis format. Check out the discography pages! ### The disappearance of David Sylvester We are investigating the sudden disappearance of David Sylvester, the former leader of our marketing department who also maintained the fanclub website. He started his yearly vacation in November 2000 and we haven't seen him since. The tracks lead to Turkey and we are collecting money for a rescue trip. Please contact us if you have any information or if you want to make donations, thank you! ### Rodger That live tour cancelled Rodger That's Asian tour has been cancelled. The band has given no reasons. Rodger That website: http://rogerfan.dyndns.org/rodgerthat/ ### Louisiana "Hot" Seasons After the hype caused by Roger That's Pitkin LP (1962) Roger travelled across The United States looking for a new band to play with, completely unknown and without the pressure of the media. Louisiana Hot Seasons (also known as Louisiana "Hot" Seasons, an alternative dixieland band based in Amite, Louisiana) was the band Roger found and joined with. Their first album (The Prey And The Predator, 1966) has been seen as a desperate escape from the (wonderful) musical conventions of Roger That. It has its moments anyway, although some of the songs are a bit too much to handle. After the disappointment of the first album the second album (Grey, 1968) was a very anticipated release. The second album made with LHS is based on the recordings Roger That made in 1967 in the deserts and the dixie rhythms played by the LHS. An electroacoustic journey to the heart of dixieland. To the heart of america, to the heart of the freedom of the time. More albums, cover artwork and more information now available at the fanclub site! ### Roger That Jr. - And I Love Her (1975) in ogg vorbis format These classic recordings have finally been found and are now also available for download. A fan had found this rare album from a flea market in Karachi and was nice enough to let us have it too. Thank you Sigmer for sending the oggs! We are eager to get the scans of the covers too.
