True Rumor

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
After a fifteen year absence, those Middle-Aged Masters of PowerPop TRUE RUMOR (Steve Meko, Terrific Tim Boyland, Bobby Lee Moller, and the brand spankin' new Motor City Tom Wright) have recently reformed! Now managed by famed 1960's impresario BISQUICK MacDOUGALL, True Rumor are in the process of recording their third CD, to be released in June 2007. A little bit of history: True Rumor originally formed in 1984. Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist Steve Meko and Gods Gift to Women - Drummer Bobby Lee Moller - had both been members of the New York City based Hardcore Punk band "Victims of Society", which had disbanded earlier that year. Steve and Bobby set out to form a band with a straight ahead rock sound. Their first recruit was Big Bad Bassist Tim Boyland, who was a member of VOS indie labelmates "The Dispositions". Fabulous Paul Stanich was soon added on Keyboards, making the original line-up of True Rumor complete. This line-up released True Rumors Debut album "Silent Generation" in February 1988 on Catch Em Records. The Eight Song LP was recorded at Noise New York Studios in NYC between 1986-1987. "Silent Generation" was recorded with Huw Gower (Guitarist with The Records, Graham Parker, and David Johansen) lending production assistance. Fabulous Paul Stanich left the band in 1988 to persue his interest in Music Production in Nashville, prompting True Rumor to enlist Lead Guitarist Kenny Newton. True Rumor soon began work on their sophomore effort - a 13 song CD titled "Knee Deep in Circumstance" which was released in 1989 on the MiniTrue Music label. The CD was recorded at Mix-O-Lydian studios with engineer/co-conspirator Don Sternecker, and was self-produced. True Rumor played the New York City club circuit extensively from 1984 through 1989, Including such illustrious dives as The Limelight, Stone Pony, The Bitter End, Kennys Castaways, and Maxwells. In addition to their two album releases, in 1987 they released one 45 titled "Iowa" b/w "Something More" on their own True Music label. True Rumor appeared on Four Compilation releases in the 80's - "Silent Generation" appeared on "City Tracks One" and "Iowa" appeared on "City Tracks Three", both released Indie label Catch Em Records. "Random Fire" was featured on the CD "Greetings From New Jersey" released by Westwood Records. "Winning Track" was featured on the CD "Fresh Kills" released by NYC Radio Station WSIA. True Rumor disbanded in 1989. The band reformed in 2005, when Statue Records re-released True Rumor's CD "Knee Deep". They've added Lead Guitarist Motor City Tom Wright, and are working with "Knee Deep" Co-Producer Don Sternecker on a new CD which will be released in 2007.
