| Enough for one year you might think but no there's more. A certain maker of films of a different kind who goes by the quaint moniker of Rob Zombie decided to put three of Terry's songs from Seed of Memory on his latest film. The film, The Devil's Rejects, a sort of Manson family story without the romance and cute animals but with the addition of an abattoir or two. Strange mismatch you might think with the country rock ballads from Seed of Memory. But Mr Zombie's films are popular the world over with young people, mostly blokes of course, thus Terry's music was introduced to a whole new fan base. I've had more enquiries and interest as a result of people hearing the Terry tracks on the film and thinking " wow, who's that ?" than from any other single event or source. With the run of gigs in 2005 and mostly favourable reviews no surprise that he was back over to England in 2006 for another mini tour. This time transport was provided in the form of a white stretch limo courtesy of Paul Bennett. Stretch limos may be common in the states but believe me it was a real eye opener in little old England. The tour went well, full band at London gigs and the superb accompaniment of keyboard player Bruce Malament on the other dates. American fans have bemoaned the fact that as UK touring became a regular event, the USA was sadly missing out. Though not a comprehensive response to the issue Terry did get to play a gig at South by Southwest that. In doing so he cemented a useful connection with established rock promoter Jack Orbin that may yet bear more fruit in America. |
