New Joan Recordings
from: KENNY LAGUNA
HEY EVERYBODY!!!! We are NOT done releasing new records. Warners has messed us up a bit, but we are correcting the problem.
There are new songs recorded from The Rocky Horror Show done in Electronica/Dance/Pop by me (Kenny) and some dudes in Europe who have the No. 1 record there. We hope to have them out very soon.
Soon we will be doing shows and hopefully continuing in The Rocky Horror Show when we are home. See you all on the road.
Thanks for your Loyalty and Patience,
Best to all,
KENNY LAGUNA

from: broadway.com
As Broadway shows begin to acknowledge the need for a snazzy presence on the web, Tarantula Web, a New York-based internet design service, has grown leaps and bounds in the past few months. Now, they've formed an entertainment division to focus on the needs of the theater community and have recruited David Risley, of Alan Wasser Associates and Cameron Mackintosh, Inc., as its head.
Broadway Bootlegs Can Get You Banned
from: broadway.com
If you're swapping illegally-recorded songs from Broadway’s The Rocky Horror Show, you may be kicked off of Napster. On January 18, Broadway.com first wrote about the increasing amount of Broadway bootlegs on the popular file-sharing service. At that time Rocky producer Jordan Roth told us that his attorneys have "contacted Napster and spoken to them about getting them taken off." Now, extended talks with Roth and legal representatives at Napster have revealed a plan of action.
