HOTEL PERSONA RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM- ‘IN THE CLOUDS / EN LAS NUBES'
Stefans side project Hotel Persona is releasing their debut album this spring.

After spending the last couple of years DJ'ing and remixing, Stefan spent the break after Placebo's Meds tour completing the album with David Amen and Javier Solo.

The Spanish version ‘En Las Nubes’ is released through PIAS/Spain on 5th May, and the English version ‘In The Clouds’ through Edel in June.

The album includes collaborations with Brian Molko, Samantha Fox, Alaska, and Miguel Bosé.

Check myspace.com/hotelpersona for tour dates and more information.

PLACEBO PART COMPANY WITH DRUMMER STEVE HEWITT
Placebo have parted company with drummer of 11 years, Steve Hewitt, due to personal and musical differences.

Brian Molko commented "Being in a band is very much like being in a marriage, and in couples - in this case a triple - people can grow apart over the years. To say that you don't love your partner anymore is inaccurate, considering all that you've been through and achieved together. There simply comes a point when you realize that you want different things from your relationship and that you can no longer live under the same roof, so to speak."

The split is amicable and a sad time for both parties. Steve Hewitt replaced Robert Schultzberg behind the drum kit in 1996 whilst the band were promoting Placebo’s eponymous debut album and went on to record the following 4 studio albums ‘Without You I’m Nothing’, ‘Black Market Music’, ‘Sleeping With Ghosts’ and most recently ‘Meds’.

Placebo have just returned from the USA where they were part of the high profile ‘Projekt Revolution Tour’ alongside Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance. The band are now taking a well earned break.

Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal will begin work on Placebo’s 6th studio album next Spring and are in no rush to find an immediate replacement for Steve.

does anyone esle find it ironic that the new drummer is called Steve as well?
Ironic in that Hewitt (reportedly) said that they would "find someone else like him"



:P
