Pentecost Press (07th Jun)
The decision to include a local band not normally found at "Christian" events has drawn some press attention for Cheltenham's Pentecost 2000 event. The Chaos Engine, who have been invited as part of the event organisers' attempt to encourage local talent, wouldn't be drawn on their beliefs, saying simply that they "don't believe in following religion blindly" (which hopefully none of us do...). Other artists slated to appear at the event at Cheltenham Racecourse include Delirious?, our current indie of the month skinflowers, World Wide Message Tribe, Urban Militia, and Expanse.

Delirious? Release Date (07th Jun)
The new Delirious? album Glo will release on Saturday 29th July. Details of the album's distribution have yet to be revealed, but given that it is being released on a Saturday and the worship-focus of the new recordings it would appear likely that the album will not receive the mainstream push that the band's previous two have had. The official Delirious? website which was down recently as it was moved to a server located withing the Furious? offices is now back up.
