**The Hard Rock Live appearance taped on Wednesday, June 24th and the air date
is still to be announced. I'll keep you all updated!!

**The To the Moon and Back Tour kicks off in Chicago this Sunday!! And now's
the start of the To the Moon and Back/Future of Earthly Delites special
issue!! If you go/have gone to one of the concerts for this tour then please
send in a review so we can see how the boys have done in other venues! And
also for the unfortunate people who weren't able to go. Please join in!!

**The Las Vegas portion of the TTMAB tour will air LIVE online on July 11th!!
Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

**Tickets for the Ottawa concert in Canada go on sale this Saturday! Thanks to
[email protected] for the info!!

**Truly is now at #14 this week on the Billboard charts while the album racks
it up at #19.

**The guys are in the latest Aussie Rolling Stone magazine!! All you Aussies
better pick it up ASAP!!

**Time to put a long-standing rumor to rest at last. So most of you have been
thinking for the past few weeks: "Darren and Colby: Are they or aren't they?".
Well the answer is they aren't!! Divorcing, that is! Dazza and Colbs are still
together, as said tonight by Daniel during an interview with a radio station
up in San Francisco. Mucho thanks to Kec1982 for the info, and also for the
news that Daniel is indeed still taken. Sigh. I guess my hitman hasn't gotten
to Michelle yet. Geez, a whole year's allowance, too! Remind me to never hire
another one. If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself! Maybe
she'll be here in LA for the concert...<insert evil grin here>

                                       Savage Trivia

Last week's trivia quessie was: at what number did To the Moon and Back peak
at during its run on the Billboard charts? The answer is  #37 and nobody got
it right!!! Tsk, tsk! Anyhoo, some of you may be able to get the next one!

This week's question is: what are the scars on the right side of Daniel's face
from?

        In this legendary time when Savage are touring and succeeding
brilliantly (and the X-File movie is storming through the world - yay :) I
want to be the first to wish the Savage Gardener, it's creators,
maintainer(s), and of course, the faithful Savage fans who make this group so
cool - a Happy 50th Birthday Issue!!!  Thank you to those who've visited
the page and to those who send me email - I love hearing from you.  It's
amazing to think that here I am in Brisbane, where it all began for the boys,
and now there are people writing in from Ireland, Germany, Canada, USA
etc etc commenting, praising and admiring Darren and Daniel for the
inspiration they have provided us with.
        Here's hoping for another 50 (and more) as great as this lot of issues
have been!  Have fun at the concerts in the States, and if you get some cool
snaps send them to me so I can put them on the page for all to see your glory
*L*.
        Your Aussie Savage Correspondant,

Sarah

  Hi Lauren !
        Well, thanks for publishing that bit from me on the lads !  Cheers !
Irish SG update :  Well, the lads are this week, unfortunately, in the Irish
Top 30 Singles Chart, they've slipped from last weeks no. 5 to this weeks No.
5.  I also checked up on their position in the album charts, and THEY'RE NOT
IN IT !!!!!!   I was so shocked !  Well, with TTM&B being released in the US,
I some months ago found CD2 version on of containing the remixes !  Funny,
that !  But, TMD is still getting the radio airplay it deserves !!  I haven't
seen or heard or anything new from them being released over here, but I
certainly expect that soon.

[email protected]

Ah yes, falling off the charts is definitely a sad thing! But I'm convinced
their next album will top the charts again (that is if they ever get it
finished, LOL!). Tears of Pearls is the next European release, so listen out
for it! ~Lauren :o)

******************************************************************************
******************

can you send me a link for the website the SGer is on? I would like to check
it out... Oh yeah, I have a fan club myself (backstreet boys) You think you
could ask some of the Savage Garden members if they'd like to be in it too? If
you can, thanks... But if you can't, oh well. And I hope they just don't get
mad at me for not writing as good a newsletter as you do! (=

Arkcadia

Well, if you like the Backstreet Boys and want more info on them, email
Arkcadia! And ok, that last comment really made me blush! ~Lauren :o)

******************************************************************************
******************

Thanks soooooooooooooo much for the information on the tickets! I am so
psyched that Savage Garden is coming to SF!!! I can't wait to get my hands on
those tickets!  I would never have known if it wasn't for you -- thanks a ton!

Meow543

That's my job - reporting the info to all you SG fans! I just find it funny
cuz while some people thank for me telling about the ticket sales, some people
actually blame me because SG isn't coming to their town! ~Lauren :oD

******************************************************************************
******************

Lauren I was wondering if you would post my desperate plee in the newsletter,
thanks!
Did anyone tape the interviews that Darren did on Friday?  I didn't find out
they were airing them all on the internet until about an hour after they
ended.  If anyone has them taped and would be willing to send me a copy, I
would be sooooooo grateful!!  I have other recordings to trade.  E-mail me at
[email protected].   Thank you!

I dub thee Lauren the bringer of good news!!!
Yaaaaaaay!!
Savage Garden is coming! Savage Garden is coming!! I was afraid they
weren't going to come to Ottawa, but they are!!! Yaaaaaay!!!
AND I told my parents about it and they offered to buy the tickets cuz
they like their music (I wish they would say that about everything I
listen to ;)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm HAPPY!!

thanx sooooooo much!!

[email protected]

LOL! Well, I'm so glad you'll be able to see SG! And like you, my parents just
LOVE them (my dad goes crazy whenever he hears To the Moon and Back!!). I
actually think it's kinda cool in a strange twisted way! That way they won't
object to my buying all the SG stuff! And "Bringer of Good News"...I like
that! Hehe, I'm happy for you! ~Lauren :o)

**There's a brand-new Savage Garden website out in cyberspace! BSBNASGAC5's
new website has all her favorite bands including Savage Garden, Backstreet
Boys, No Authority, and Aaron Carter (hence her screen name!). It's just
started so the homepage is only up, but more is coming soon. So check it out
cuz it's a really great site and all her hard work shows!!
http://members.aol.com/BSBNASGAC5/main.html

**Some info from our Aussie correspondant/webmistress, Sarah! You may remember
her reporting that B105 (a radio station in the boys' hometown of Brisbane)
had a countdown of the 500 best songs. Well here are the Savage Garden
results! And yes, all 6 of the singles released in Australia were on it!

499 ~Universe
280 ~Break Me Shake Me
252 ~All Around Me
196 ~I Want You
66 ~To the Moon and Back
1 ~Truly Madly Deeply

Personally, I'm surprised Moon was so far back.  I mean, it was the ARIAs Song
of the Year, right? Ah well, that's charts for ya! Thanks Sarah!!

That's it for this week's issue of the SGer. PLEASE remember to send in your
names for the Mine petiton!!!! And PLEASE advertise on your websites!! I
really need your help!!

Peace, love, and Savage Garden!
