Something big is coming...
You've
heard the rumors. Now you have the facts.

got a new album on the way.
The boys
have been holed up in a Vancouver studio with producer Brendan
O'Brien and longtime audio engineer Mike Fraser, cooking up their
first collection of new material since the 2000 release of Stiff
Upper Lip.

expect the new album sometime later this year. We know it's not
an easy wait, but you don't have to sit there twiddling your
thumbs.

AC/DC Set To Release New Album This Year
The waiting is almost over! AC/DC fans can expect the band's next album of new material sometime later this year. The band are currently recording in Vancouver with producer Brendan O'Brien and long time audio engineer Mike Fraser. This will be the band's first collection of new material since the release of Stiff Upper Lip in 2000.
AC/DC's
Got A Shockingly BIG Prize For You!
Three
feet long and two feet wide...
In rock,
bigger is always better. Two guitarists are cool, but isn't it
better when they're blood brothers? Sure, one Marshall amp is
nice, but a stack of them is better. A 28 foot tall bronze statue
of Angus is great, but it's better when it shoots smoke from its
mouth and sparks from its eyes, no? And, of course, one disc of
live footage is great, but getting plugged into three discs of
rare, unreleased AC/DC concert and television footage is best.
You get
the picture: AC/DC is larger than life and, following the band's
lead, ACDC.com does
everything BIG.
And, if
you thought that last month's signed bass giveaway at ACDC.com was big,
you're in for a shock. Literally.
This time
around, we're giving you a chance to win the ultimate AC/DC Plug Me
In Prize
Pack. The winner will receive a copy of the Deluxe
Collector's Edition of Plug Me
In, plus one
of everything in the AC/DC Plug Me
In store. Shirts.
Hats. Sweatshrit. You get it all. See what you've got coming here.
Okay, so
that's big, yeah, but that isn't HUGE, right? The lucky contest
winner will also receive an original proof used for the design of
the Deluxe
Collector's Edition of Plug Me
In - the
very one that Angus, Malcolm, Brian, Cliff and Phil looked at
before sending the package off to press. Not big enough for you?
Did we forget to mention that the proof is 2 feet by 3 feet?
All you
have to do for a shot at the big prize is head over to the
Contests page to enter.
Enter
now.
Can't wait
until the contest ends to get your hands on the goods? Head over
to the store today to
pick up Plug Me
In and all
the latest AC/DC gear.
Have a
good one,

NEW DATE
Dirty DC have another new date that has just been added to the 2008 tour
Friday the 30th of May @
Barry Martin from the Derby Telegraph wrote this review
Dirty DC
The Flowerpot, Derby
Friday 7th March
An eardrum-exploding, brickwork-cracking, rock riffathon of seismic proportions rating 11 out of 10 on the Richter scale. Rock at its loudest. Rock at its ballsy, basic best.
Ian Gillan look-a-likey Tony Savage on bass, Paul Sticca on rhythm guitar and Gary Hitchens on drums provided the granite-rocked backdrop for this fab five’s virtuosi double act.
Vocalist Chris Hill as the hyperactive, back-arching, cap-tweaking, twitchy Geordie Brian Johnson was superb, raucously screeching out some of the most ‘ingrained in your brain’ lyrics in the annals of rock history.
But Pride (Park) of place must go to Simon Davies as the duck-stepping, demonic schoolboy Angus (the right honourable riff-meister) Young. Hastings’ number one son Simon was Angus. Period. Pouring sweat from his first power chord, Simon pushed his signature red ‘61 Gibson re-issue to its absolute limits, wowing the baying crowd with his incredible flying-fingered dexterity.
Two and a half hours of Acca Dacca at the very height of their powers.
Which tracks did they play?? They did ‘em all !
We started out on a highway to hell and finished up in rock heaven!
Awesome.
Dirty DC have a new date to add

This from Mr Kyp's
Dirty DC announce the title of their tour of 2008 -
.
Why 10/30?
The title acknowledges 10 years since the birth of Dirty DC in
1998,
alongside the 30th anniversary of the release of AC/DC's 1978
Powerage album. To celebrate this all time favourite release,
thought
by many to be AC/DC's finest hour, Dirty DC will be performing
all
the tracks from Powerage during the year, including some gigs
where
the entire album will be covered. Watch this space for further
details.
