Ask Sharleen...

29th June Sharleen was in 2-Ten Radio. She answered a guestions from fans. This is one of questions:

"JD: Live 8 at Murrayfield next Wednesday - is it important that it's in Scotland?

SS: It's got nothing to do with Scotland. It could have been anywhere, but that's where the world leaders are meeting. The important thing is that people are there to show that they want things to change. It's got nothing to do with popstars, it's got nothing to do with where it is. It's about making a change and being part of it."

Real Bang!

In the past week promotion for the new single 'Getaway' has started on radio stations across the UK and Sharleen has been busy doing interviews all week.


The single comes with a video that enlists the services of the acclaimed Christopher Doyle, the man behind the movie "Hero"as well as "Chung King Express" and a hostof Wong Kar Wai cinema greats. The whole package signals that Texas areback for 2005 with a real bang, with Sharleen Spiteri, as ever, boldly leading the charge.

Red Book album

The album "Red Book" is also finished and is ready for release on October 31st. Pinning down musical influences and inspirations for "Red Book" is no easy task. Sharleen talks only of "classicpop music", Johnny McElhone reels briskly through "Stax, soundtracks, electronic pop, Giorgio Moroder, Kate Bush and the usual mix of Prince and Motown"; too modest to admit that Texas'return single "Getaway" is fresh and feisty enough to have been a great Altered Images seven-inch (he co-wrote that band's "I Could be Happy" at age 15). But the pervading feel of "RED BOOK" is that Texas have made a classic collection of songs fit to stand alongside their best yet, a "White On Blonde Plus" if you like!

Next singles they will propably: What About Us (Dallas), which will release in October, also Can't Resist and Get Down Tonight
