Just ahead of the November release of the newly remastered edition of the classic HUGHES/THRALL album, Glenn Hughes and Pat Thrall have debuted their brand new accompanying web site, http://www.hughesthrall.com, and their new profile over at MySpace.com. The remaster is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com worldwide, NEH Records in the USA, Play.com in the U.K. and HMV in Japan.

"Hughes Thrall", acknowledged as one of the finest albums of Hughes' career, was released on Boulevard Records in 1982, toppping the U.S. import charts before being issued in the U.K. on Epic in January 1983.

Glenn Hughes and Pat Thrall have been working on the sophomore HUGHES/THRALL album, tentatively due next year. Asked why it has taken so long for a follow-up effort to appear, Hughes told Rockdetector.com earlier in the year, "In truth, we were both [Hughes and guitarist Pat Thrall] fucked up. Let's not try to hide that fact. We made an awesome funk rock record but we just could not follow it up. It's always been there though, people still keep talking about it so obviously, at some point, it would come up again.

"I finally got around to meeting up with Pat again in New York during 2000 and we started writing for a new HUGHES/THRALL album. When the 9/11 disaster happened though in 2001 I just couldn't go to New York after that. Finally Pat relocated to Las Vegas and since then we've been writing again, meeting up and it's happening. We've got 13 incredible, late night, funky, organic jazz rock songs ready. It's very diverse, very intense. Pat has to add some guitar, get them mixed and we're hoping to launch the second stage of HUGHES/THRALL later this year. Actually, we're not going to start shopping this record until September. It's an important one so we need a strong worldwide deal. It has to be the right label."

In early 2006, Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) gave a phenomenal show in Melbourne, Australia with JJ Marsh on guitar and Lachlan Doley on keyboards. The performance was captured and will be released on CD and DVD in 2007. Both will be for sale through Hughes' official e-store at http://www.glennhughes.com. The setlist was as follows:

01. Coast to Coast
02. I Found a Woman
03. This Time Around
04. Nights in White Satin
05. Last Mistake
06. This House
07. Frail

Et oui, je me demandais ce que voulais dire une setlist qui commence par une ballade...

Tres bonne setlist en tout cas...

Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) will play a show on May 9 in Dimitrovgrad, Serbia, which is about 50 km from Sofia, Bulgaria. The concert will take place in a new hall in the city, and Glenn's show — as it will be the first concert at the new hall — will act as an inauguration for the hall. Today it was announced by the Mayor of Dimitrovgrad that the new hall has been officially named the "Glenn Hughes Music Hall."

Commented Hughes: "I am full of gratitude to have a public building named in my honor. I want to thank the Mayor and the good people of Serbia. May the 'Glenn Hughes Music Hall' be filled with great memories in the years to come."

Rocknworld: In your heart of hearts, do you think the long-anticipated reunion of PURPLE Mk III will ever happen?

Glenn: I think everybody…except Ian Paice….Ian is still in MkII. We've all spoken about it, through third parties. We've all spoken. I mean David [Coverdale] and Jon Lord and I have spoken about it at great length. Ritchie [Blackmore] has now spoken to people. I mean… Look, I'd like to do it for two reasons. The first simply being to play with my brothers again and to complete the chapter. But you know, I think it would be great to play with Ritchie again and David and Jon and Ian again. I think it would be really, really good. I think it would be a really great band. One last time, you know.
