The Savage Gardener #46
Hi everyone!! The World Music Awards have not yet aired here on the
west coast
of America, so I can't do a review until next week. However, you east
coasters
have told me the performance was great (like I expected it to be anything
less!) and that Darren and Daniel were awarded Best Album by an Australian
Artist right after they performed. Way to go, guys!!!
DELITES COUNTDOWN: 30 days

**Great news for Daz and Dan!! Last week on Brisbane's B105 Truly was
named as
the #1 song on B105's Top 500 for 1997/1998!!! Out of 500 songs!!!
To the Moon
and Back was #65, and I don't have the rest of the places but ALL of
the SG
singles are on the chart. Congrats, Darren and Daniel!!
**There are some great layouts in the June 1998 issue of Rolling Stone
(Aussie)!! So all you Aussies flock out and buy it! Thanks to SpceFerret
for
the info!!
**Tickets for the Delites concert at the Max Bell Arena in Calgary,
Canada are
on sale now! The tickets are floor, which means no assigned seating
which
means get there very very early and you can get front row!! Thanks
to
KerryB1000 for the info!
**For those of you who are planning on ordering your Delites tickets
through
Ticket Master at Blockbuster Music will have to get them in another
way. The
Blockbuster stores are no longer Ticket Master outlets so you'll have
to call
your local Ticket Master number (they vary with individual areas).
**More great news for Daz and Dan themselves!! Their debut CD is now
QUADRUPLE
platinum as officially certified by the RIAA here in America on May
19th!
That's over 4 MILLION copies sold in the US alone!! Way to go, Darren
and
Daniel!
**The new To the Moon and Back video will be premiering shortly!! I'll
keep
you posted on the date when it makes its world premiere!!
**This week's Billboard stats! Truly is currently #9 on the Billboard
Hot 100
and the album has jumped back to #15, making way for new albums. Just
a note,
Darren and Daniel hope to have the new album out in early 1999.

Savage Trivia
Last week's trivia question was: when asked in an interview about rumors
and
things like that, Darren said something which has turned into a very
famous
and favorite quote of the fans. What is that quote? Here's part of
it to get
you going: "The truth starts and..." what's the rest?? The answer is
"The
truth starts and ends with my lips" and congrats to those who got it
right!!

This week's trivia is about Mine, that heartbreakingly beautiful song
released
only in Australia. The question is: Why will America never ever hear
Mine
(unless you get the Aussie CD, or something like that)? Note: It's
such a
stupid reason!! In my opinion, anyway.

Hi Lauren,
Just wanted to inform you... I have already seen the WMA. They were
broadcast
in Germany on a pay TV channel last night (May 21). The awards are
awful,
worse than the Oscars! *L* So cheezy. But their performance was nice,
and
Darren looks hot with a beard. /And this is from someone who usually
hates
beards!) Also, there are several gigs in Europe that Savage Garden
are doing.
Next week they will be in London on May 28. I am going! Then there
are two
concerts (May 30 and 31) at some huge German open air festivals (I
hate
festivals that's why I won't go there); they will be in Stockholm on
June 2,
in Oslo on June 3 and also in Denmark (dunno the exact date). And today
I hope
to see them in Germany at a pop festival called The Dome for a one
or maybe
two song appearance... I just heard on the phone that people are already
waiting in lines since 9 o'clock. OMG! I gotta go! *LOL*
WoodBeez
Thanks for the info and I hope you got to see them!! ~Lauren :o)

Does anyone know where I can find some (LARGE) posters of Daz and Dan?
(especially Darren!) I've been looking everywhere and I can't
find any! I'm
about to leave for college and I want to take a HUGE poster with me
to paste
up on my wall.

**We have a special message from a Savage fan:
Me and a friend are trying to get To The Moon and Back to get on MTV's
Total
Request. If you're interested in helping please <A HREF="mailto:
[email protected]">E-Mail me</A> at <A HREF="mailto: [email protected]">
[email protected]</A>. When I have enough people we'll choose one
day when
we'll all vote. If this works... well do the same for all their other
videos.
So email [email protected] and join the bandwagon to get TTMAB back
on the
air!!!! Just remember that the new video will be premiering shortly,
so TTMAB
(the new vid) will definitely be on TV soon.
**[email protected] wanted me to let you all know that her webpage
has a
special Savage chat and she'd like to set up chat sessions. You don't
need any
special requirements to join in so come in and chat with other fans!
The
webpage addy (the direct link to the chatroom) is:
http://www.brit.co.uk/chat/messages/2144.htm
The chat room schedule is Sunday nights from 7- 8 pm pacific time.
I'll try
and check in every so often so I hope to see you there!
**As we all know, Break Me Shake Me's release was not postponed in Canada
as
it was here in America. Could any Canadian fans let us know how BMSM
is doing
up there? I'm pretty curious!
**I've been getting emails asking me to confirm the dates when SG are
appearing, or when the tickets go on sale. I swear on my autographed
CD that I
will let you all know as soon as I hear when more dates are announced.
So
please just try and calm down and remember that there is no way I would
ever
keep this info to myself! You're my first priority here, so please
don't email
me everytime I send out an update of ticket sales asking for info on
a venue.
All info I get I send to you ASAP, I promise!
That's it for this week. Have a great week and stay Savage!
Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
