A few days ago I started thinking about what I wanted to do when the current NIN tour came to an end. I realized that it would be the perfect time to take The New Regime music to a live format and finally play some shows. To get some feedback on the prospect of touring I asked the following question via Twitter: "If I decided to tour with The New Regime in the fall, who would come?". I didn't exactly expect the reaction I got, but I was EXTREMELY pleased with it. So the next step was to figure out how to take this project that I started by myself and take it on the road continuing to things my way, DIY, and finance it all. Then I remembered all the times I had been asked "When will you release Coup on CD?" since it came out online last November.

The reason why Coup was released digitally was because it made the most sense at the time. Although I was proud of my first ten songs, I didn't have very big expectations for it. So spending money on 5,000 CD's that could've very well spent the rest of time sitting in my garage if no one liked it seemed like a real waste. Here's what I'm thinking now...

I'm thinking about putting together a really special physical release. 1 package, 1 price, with the potential following items (give or take):

-CD
-DVD with live performances, out-takes, whatever else I can scrape up
-Vinyl
-Booklet with live/recording photos taken by two of my good friends.
-Limited edition, Hand Numbered, and signed by me (if that somehow sweetens the deal?)
-Maybe some other goods.

I'm open to ideas which is where you come in.

All the capital raised from sales of this package will go to finance The New Regime on tour.

I'm completely thinking out loud here and want your input. By messages of sorts, tweets, emails, comments, emails, phone calls, morse code, whatever works, let me know who's into this. I want to get moving as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Ilan

Hello All: Just wanted to let you know that www.thenewregimemusic.com has been given a facelift. You can stream Coup in its entirety, watch all the live videos in HD, sign up on a new mailing list, check out all the TNR profiles on various sites, and follow links to purchase Coup if you love it. I'll hopefully start incorporating the site into thing more so keep checking in.

If you sign up on the mailing list you will info on where to download the cover I did of "Eleanor Rigby" for FREE as a token of my appreciation.

Also, the next album is halfway done and I think you'll be really happy with it. More to come on that....mailing list....thats all I can say....

Hope to see you all on the upcoming NIN dates.

Hello all,

It's been a while, but I come bearing a gift(s).  I've done a cover as an exclusive for shockhound.com and I'm very proud of it.  Although it's a controversial song to cover because it's absolutely perfect as it is, I chose Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.  It's definitely in my top three of Beatles favorites so go check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think!

As far as other gifts are concerned, they will be coming soon enough and will definitely be a 10 on the entertainment scale, mark my words and stay tuned.

For all of the unanswered messages, don't think I've gotten lazy.  I've had some fun computer trouble, but that's all taken care of now and I'll get back on the answering trip today.  Hope you've all been well! take care,

Ilan

Good news...Amazon MP3 just launched in the UK. That means that you can buy COUP there if you don't like iTunes. I think that if you haven't bought the album yet, you should go buy it now...its really easy.


CLICK HERE TO BUY

If you need more convincing go pick up the latest issue of Kerrang! They just gave COUP 4 K's and gave it a good review.

Hello All,
Just dropping in to say hello and thank everyone who bought Coup. Everyone's comments have been really great so I'm glad people are enjoying it. If you haven't bought Coup yet get to itunes, amazon, emuisc, shockhound, lala, or rhapsody, and get it!

This weekend I finished all the drum tracking for the new Lostprophets record. It sounds really great but then again its just drums so far.

I will be doing a phone interview on New Music Inferno (Internet Radio Show) this Wednesday from 9:30 -10pm EST. If you're up, tune in. Here's the info:

Greetings everybody,

I come by to bring you some bittersweet news. As some of you might have read, I will be joining Nine Inch Nails as of 2009. Although the opportunity brings me great honor, It sucks to say goodbye. I wanted to let you all know personally that I'm thankful for everything I've experienced with Lostprophets over the past 3 years. It was an amazing time playing shows all over the world, meeting new friends and fans, and of course being a part of this group. I'll certainly miss it and I hope I haven't upset anyone, but the times always go on. Thanks to everybody who have supported the band and myself the entire time. I hope to see all, or at least some of you at future NIN shows wherever they may be. Also, I wanted to thank Mike, Lee, Stu, Jamie, and Ian, their families, and the crew who have taken me in as one of their own and have helped me get to where I am today. I really do appreciate it all and I consider them some of my best friends (innit). I hope I can keep my Welsh accent sharp for whenever I'm back in the valleys boyos. For all of you out there who are curious about this long awaited 4th album, we are getting ready to record the final tracks. And although it's taken a while, we've always had your satisfaction in mind. But before my rambling gets old, I should mention that I'll still be writing, recording, and performing with The New Regime. Thanks again for everything, sorry for any disappointments, and take care!

Here's what my witty friends Lostprophets had to say...

As some of you may or not know, Ilan our drummer of 3 years is leaving us for a bigger band and a real pay check.

Jokes aside, I hear you asking did he bite the hand that feeds? What kind of a reptile or demon seed is he? That, my friends, needs to stop right now, i do not want this. Sometimes love is not enough, and after 3 years the line begins to blur. We asked him 'you know what you are?' while he replied if 'only!'. Then went on to tell NIN 'im looking forward to joining you finally' because he is a naughty little piggy. The way out is through times like these, and even though we're in this together we all know Ilan will find happiness in slavery. I know some of you will claim this is heresy, and i will admit i am somewhat damaged, but thats what i get. Yes this does suck but i guess it was his wish .

I also know some of you thought this was all a terrible lie, so i hate having to be the one giving you all the big come down, but even though we are all a little bit fragile right now, i know our survivalism will get us through and it will all be for the greater good. Ilan has a lot of discipline and i know he will no longer think that every day is exactly the same, this is a god given chance for him. So this puts into motion the beginning of the end for Ilan and Lostprophets. We have all grown closer to him, and know he is not the great destroyer. No matter what he never gave up on our vessel. In this twilight we are letting you know that there is no need to panic or worry. This isnt the start of a downward spiral, we are now even deeper into the new album and will never succumb to the great below. Underneath it all my violent heart still beats a proud and sure rhythm. The warning here is that you never know whats around the corner, and even though you may get hurt, sin or no sin, all you need to do is keep your head down and know that you still have us, and we will continue to give you all the love in the world.

We wish Ilan good luck with everything, and while the time we have together is getting smaller, we will always look up at the same lights in the sky and know he is right where he belongs.

COUP is finally out in its entirety. At the moment it is available on iTunes, Amazon. com, lala. com, shockhound, napster, rhapsody, emusic and other online distributors. But if your site of choice doesn't have it yet, it'll probably be up by the end of Nov. 18th. Go get the album and enjoy it in the quality and order it deserves to be to listened to. I couldn't be happier with this first album and I hope you all enjoy it as well. Thanks and take care!
