Bigger Than Satan - Video Interview!



[Photo by Kayla Wren]
 
 


Hey Friends!


On my birthday back in January, I did a fun little post show interview with Paul Crowe at the Classic Grand in Glasgow Scotland where we kicked off our 'Southern Revelation' tour of the UK. Rab Simpson who filmed and edited the interview has recently launched his new heavy metal website which he's christened 'Bigger Than Satan' and posted the video that features some cool live footage of  'Blasphemous Girl' shot by our good friend and photographer Andy Watson at the Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton later in the tour. Enjoy the interview and please take a moment to visit and support his site!

For those of you with a hot rod attitude, make sure to check out the new Disney XD animated series Motorcity on Monday nights at 9pm because Mick Murphy is playing some hot metal guitar in all the episodes starting with the second one which airs tomorrow! Set in a futuristic Detroit where an evil billionaire has banned personal freedoms including automobile transportation, a group of hot-rod wielding rebels who call themselves The Burners rise to stop him from conquering Detroit's last oasis of freedom - an underground refuge dubbed Motorcity.

New Collection Online Now!




Dear Friends,


The wait is finally over! I have officially lauched my latest collection in my online BGD store today and I'm excited to announce the debut of two new designs in the ℳi ℛuina Ring trilogy set of wearable art connected through the inner sanctum of the London based jewellery company Seventh Circle Artworks. Introducing the ℳi ℛuina Ring II and ℳi ℛuina Band available in sizes L – Z+2 for men and women.




Each ring is hand crafted in London, England where it is oxidized and smoked to give it a subtle vintage, aged effect and features the Spanish inscription 'ℳi ℛuina Por Vida' which means 'My Ruin For Life'. A true statement piece for your middle finger if ever there was one.




My store will feature info to purchase my rings through SCA along with my original seven band middle finger armor design I created in honor of My Ruin's new 7th album 'A Southern ℜevelation'. There are new and classic shirts, limited edition My Ruin bundles, collectable memorabilia, custom one-of-a-kind designs and lots of unexpected surprises which I will continuing to update this next week. In the meantime, here's a look at me shiny new heavy metal rings for you!

The Music Press Interview!




[Photo by Don Jackson Wyatt @ Moho Live - Manchester, England]

We would like to thank the awesome Mark Doyle and his crew at The Music Press for taking the time to chat with us and edit this interview we did with them while on our recent 'Southern Revelation' tour in the UK. The interview was filmed backstage before our show @ Moho Live in Manchester and features live footage from our show @ Le Forum in Vaureal, France shot by our good friend Tor Burrows of Notorious Design.

Here's what TMP had to say about our interview:

"Many artists often profess to do things by their rules… the honest truth is that few bands seldom do. My Ruin are a rare and welcome exception to this rule and take no prisoners when it comes down to their art. Vocalist, Tairrie B Murphy along with her musical soul mate and husband Mick Murphy are both the passion and creative force behind the band that is My Ruin.

Back with album number seven entitled ‘A Southern Revelation’, the band has released what is perhaps their most personal record to date. Taking a step away from the traditional route, the band made the whole album available as a free download by way of a thank you to the fans who have stood by them for so long as well as a firm middle finger to their former record label. Chatting with The Music Press, Tairrie and Mick discuss their views on the current music industry and give sneaky peek into the world of My Ruin."

Welcome Back Marcelo!



(Photo by Mark Latham)

Dear Friends

After a brief hiccup following our 'Southern ℜevelation' tour we are happy to announce that we're back in the studio rehearsing again and would like to [re]introduce our new drummer and long time friend Marcelo Palomino. Many of you will be familiar with Celo from his days we spent together in Manhole/Tura Satana but he also toured with My Ruin in 1999 and again 2008 when we recorded our live DVD 'Alive On The Other Side'. Our most recent collaboration has been behind the scenes for My Ruin's latest video 'Tennessee Elegy' which he filmed and co directed with me & Tor Burrows.

It's great to have Celo back with us. It feels like home. At the moment he's getting familiar with our last two albums and Mick, Luciano & I are all looking forward to playing live with him soon and shooting our next video! Here's a live video we shot during the last show he played with us a few years ago in Los Angeles.

Southern Revelation Tour Update 11 - Colchester!



[Photo by Henri Séguin @ Le Forum - Vaureal, France]

Southern ℜevelation Tour † Update - Colchester, UK:


My apologies for this post being so late but we had some important issues to sort once we arrived home and needed to catch our collective breathe after the wild ride we have just been on. We're still coming down from the high and looking back I feel blessed that my voice stayed so strong every night even when I felt stressed under certain circumstances behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who came out to the beautiful deconsecrated Church turned rock venue known as the Arts Centre to share our final night of the tour with us last week. What an amazing show and memory that will last forever in our hearts and minds.


First and foremost we would like to say thank you to Mick Wood of STC Touring for all his hard work and everything he put into making the tour a success behind the scenes along with our press officer Mona Miluski of Platinum PR who we had the pleasure of having join us on stage in London for a hot rocking duet of "Money Shot . A moment we will always remember fondly.


Thank you to our 3 awesome support bands who we truly enjoyed having on the tour with us....Glen, Gav, Neil & Dan of Godsized - Ritchie, Steve, Mark & John of Long Day Fear and most of all our family and brothers Aaron, Matt & Al of Sanctorum who kindly doubled as our crew and looked after us nightly on and off stage. We love you guys.


We would also like to thank the lovely Miss Tor Burrows for taking the time off to join us on the road and capture the moments that surrounded our shows in videos and photos for her first rock documentary film. It was wonderful to have another woman on the tour and I can still feel her fierce female energy. A true friend, artist and inspiration.


Thank you to our new "Merch King" and my darling Jack Osborne for simply being himself. Between selling our merch, teasing my hair and screaming with me on stage during "Stick It To Me" nightly.....he helped make this tour so very special for me and I adore him. A true star and friend.


A very special thank you to our tour manager Mr Terry Sly who without, none of this would have been possible. We have known this man for 5 years which has included 3 tours together and I can honestly say that he is one of the most professional, loyal, honest and unselfish people we have ever met. We have nothing but respect and admiration for him. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We love ya "Superfly"!


Thank you to Luciano Ferrea [who was with us in spirit during the tour] for suggesting Eddie Brnabic to fill in for bass duties keeping the low end warm when he was unable to join us. We couldn't have asked for a nicer and more down to earth guy. Eddie is a talented musician who was a pleasure to be around and we have nothing but good things to say about him and the way he conducted himself as a part of our band and extended family.


Unfortunately things did not work out the way we had hoped they would with Isaac Lee. After careful consideration and reflection of the tour over the past few days, it’s clear to Mick and me that the relationship between Isaac and My Ruin just isn’t the right fit so we have asked him to leave our band as it has become painfully obvious that he is not the drummer for us. We have worked too hard to watch someone thoughtlessly disrespect all which we have built and stand for and too many things were said and done that we simply cannot forget. That being said, we wish Isaac all the best in his future endeavors.


Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to all our friends and fans both new and old who came out to the shows. We had a blast in the UK and France! Now it's time to sort through our massive amounts of photos and edit all the video footage we have collected. Lots to be posted soon and for those of you who have still not heard our new 7th album "A Southern ℜevelation" please click the top of our blog and download your free copy today, share the link with your friends and if the mood strikes, make a donation to support do-it-yourself ethos and help keep the spirit of independence alive!
