We did two 2 minute songs and we were on the show from time to time, doing about six 15 second song clips. One of our 2-minute songs ended the show at 6:58 am. Archive April 6, 2001 Lowell Ebert has retired out of state and while he will always be a member in our hearts, we needed a new guy for the stage. We found him in Vince Rosselli, a born-again gigolo with many, many talents! July 27, 2000 Dave Cook and Bob Williams have left the band (no, not in a coffin). Now we are back and graver than ever. Welcome our new punkster grandads: Dan Wall on guitar and Ray Kosturik on drums! April 4, 1997 "Konzertagentur Berthold Seliger", The Foot's German concert agency, faxed the tour schedule for the 1997 European tour with dates in Germany and Switzerland. The dates are posted on the Concert Page and as of this date subject to possible changes. February 6, 1997 One Foot In The Grave is working with their German agent to set the dates and locations for the 1997 European Tour, scheduled for sometime in April/May. More on that as it develops. February 6, 1997 A crew from Yorkshire TV in Britain attends the live show at Hollywood Alley in Mesa, AZ and shoots footage (no pun intended) to be included in an episode of their "3D" documentary series that will focus on retirement communities like Sun City that are springing up in the UK too. Footage shot includes "Sun City Rocks", audience participation and interviews. The programme is scheduled to air nationwide between now and June 1997. It is to be noted that the lads found out about One Foot In The Grave via this Web site and contact was established via e-mail :) Dec 1, 1996 Though the exact date and circumstances are unknown, Voices Music, the German label that released Old Farts, goes out of business and leaves the band with unpaid royalties for all of the year. A stock of CDs can be secured by the German agent. No further details are known. Major bummer... July 23, 1996 Broadcast.com (formerly AudioNet), a Web site specializing in online RealAudio broadcasts, adds the entire "Lookin' Good! Who's Your Embalmer?" album to their jukebox. If you have the RealAudio player installed, you can jump directly to the album and give it a listen. Thanks go to John Welsh. April 19, 1996 VH1 Germany is going to show One Foot In The Grave material in May 1996! Also, MTV Europe has aired a 3- to 4-minute report with interview and live footage from the 1996 Berlin show. The MTV spot so far has been aired three times in early April. April 19, 1996 Voices Music Germany reports that an interview with One Foot In The Grave will be featured in the May 1996 issue of the German edition of Rolling Stone magazine. Hey, what's next, the cover!? ;) January 26 - February 17, 1996 Third European tour with dates in Germany and Austria to promote the new album Old Farts. For tour schedule see the Concert Dates archive. January 10, 1996 One Foot In The Grave's second album, Old Farts, is released. Unfortunately for US fans, the CD will be released in Germany only. Eventually the album should be available in the US too. The album is full of "Geritol punk" again and features two cover tunes, one by the Violent Femmes the other, again, by the Ramones. Some of the tracks should already be familiar to those who attended The Foot's shows in the recent past and the rest are pleasant surprises. November 12, 1995 Dave Cook, local Phoenix jazz legend since 1959, joins The Foot as the new drummer. At age 62 he replaces Gino Costa. Dave does not intend to leave his jazz bands but teaming up with The Foot gives him a chance to finally go to Europe, a life-long dream of his. Last update 19-Feb-2004. © One Foot In The Grave.
