While waiting on pre-production knead for the second gear Motors album, Tchaikovsky took the chance to do some recording of his possess. The resulting single, "Sarah Smiles," john Drew enough interest for him to allow the Motors and form his own dance orchestra. In plus to its leader, the dance orchestra Bram Tchaikovsky consisted of Mike Broadbent (bass, keyboards) and Keith Boyce (drums). They sign to the raw Radar judge in 1978 along with Stiff expatriates Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello.

Sanzs Blackmailers Reach Plea Deal
A couple who attempted to extort $500,000 (GBP250,000) from Latin star ALEJANDO SANZ has accepted a plea deal to avoid the case going to trial.
Sanz's former maintenance worker Carlos Gonzalez and his wife Sylvia Alzate confessed to trying to blackmail the star last December (07), by threatening to release unspecified private information about him to the Spanish media unless he paid up.
Jury selection in the pair's Florida trial was due to begin on Monday (19May08), but minutes before it was due to get underway, Gonzalez and Alzate agreed to serve two years' probation instead - each avoiding a possible 50-year prison sentence if they were convicted.
During Monday's court session, Circuit Judge Israel Reyes ordered the release of Gonzalez from jail and also ruled that the couple must stay away from the Latin Grammy winner.
In addition, he has imposed a two-year gag order on all those connected with the case, banning them from talking to the media about the specific details.
According to reports, Sanz revealed he had fathered a son from a previous relationship just weeks after being threatened by the couple.

Blink 182 - Delonge Says No To Blink 182 Reunion
Former BLINK 182 frontman TOM DeLONGE has ruled out ever reforming the punk band - because he couldn't bear to perform the songs he wrote in his youth.
The singer - who now fronts Angels + Airways - enjoyed huge success with his rock trio, but he has disappointed fans by insisting it's impossible to reunite a band who sang about "first dates".
DeLonge feels he'd be cheating himself and the band's followers if he were to impersonate the man he used to be.
He says, "I really cannot see any possible way that Blink would get back together, nor do I have any desire for it. It was a really amazing, magical time for me when I was young but, now I'm older, I'm doing things that reflect my life now.
"It would be a lie to myself to go and sing about first dates and girls at the rock show. That's not really what I'm about right now."
