Okay, I think it’s safe to file this one under “Weird news of the day”. Glen Lambert formerly of Propagandhi has a statement on the band’s website challenging Cokie the Clown. Here’s exactly what he had to say,

“I was depressed and pathetic back in 2004. The band NOFX even wrote a (terrible) song about how depressed and pathetic I was. Then this fucking clown comes along out of nowhere 4 years later, acting all depressed and pathetic. Coincidence? Well, this town is only big enough for one depressing and pathetic clown, and that’s me, Glen Lambert. So i’m issuing a public challenge to Cokie: meet me in the octagon. Three 1-minute rounds. No holds barred. The loser apologizes publicly for stealing the other guys gimmick and pays the winner a whole shitload of money. I’m serious about this. I’ve been taping cutlery together and doing arm-curls for the past 4 hours. I’m fucking ripped. Rich people interested in organizing this event please get in touch with my manager, Murray Moon. Oh, and heres a tip Cokie: real clowns don’t wear make-up.”

The opinions expressed by Glen Lambert are those of Glen Lambert and not those of the parent corporation (Propagandhi, Inc) that fired him for incessant weirdness.

That didn’t take long. Earlier today we wrote that Michigan post-hardcore/emo screamo act I See Stars had parted ways with screamer Chris Moore, but it seems that the band have found their new screamer in former band member Zach Johnson. The band writes,

“In the last 6 weeks we’ve poured our heart and soul into what is to be the next chapter of I See Stars. As we get closer and closer to finishing a new record a few things have been brought into light that you all deserve to be aware of. I See Stars and Chris Moore (keys/screams) have decided to part ways. This decision was mutual, and we still love and support him in everything he chooses to do and hope you all do as well.

Now on the upside of things, this record being a dream turned to reality. We are so excited for the fall/winter release. The original member for keys/screams was held by Zach Johnson whose vocals and synth you all have heard on our debut record “3D”. He will be returning to the band, performing on Warped 2010. Hope you’re ready.

I See Stars will be playing the entire Warped Tour circuit, so check out their Dying Scene Shows page for dates and locations.
