SCOTT WEILAND: Second Video Blog From The Road!

 

Scott Weiland's business partner and touring guitarist Doug Grean recently posted an update online: "Scott Weiland wants to establish an identity for himself that's separate from STP and (VELVET REVOLVER), that's what this "solo" tour is all about. So if you buy a ticket to a Scott Weiland solo tour concert, you should be prepared to hear mostly Scott Weiland solo songs." He went on to say, "What I guess I'm asking you for is to be patient and understanding and let Scott do what he wants to do for now. There will be plenty of time and chances for you to hear the STP boys rock the fuck out on their awesome catalog in the future."

Weiland's band does play a couple of STP songs live, with Grean writing, "We all love STP (me and the solo band), we love playing their great songs, but we love playing ours too, and want Weiland wants to establish "Scott Weiland" apart from the previous bands he's been in."

Grean co-produced Weiland's second solo album, "Happy in Galoshes", which came out in late November through the duo's Softdrive Record label.

Although the band's future status is currently unclear, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS completed a six-month reunion tour late last year and also played in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve.

Christopher Wicks, designer and owner of English Laundry, Fender: The Clothing Collection, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, has teamed with you guessed it, Scott Weiland to create a collection that embodies the iconic style of the fashionable ex STP front man. Their whole collection has always been rock and roll, now with Weiland in the mix it's rock and roll all the way!

This new collection is sure to get all eyes on you! With Weiland in the mix, there's going to be so many hot ideas flying around; so strut your stuff guys, the sidewalk is your runway!

Weiland for English Laundry is a lifestyle brand for the true rock rebel. The overall concept is derived from the rock decadence of the 1960's, and inspirations were taken from Savile Row circa 1965 and renowned bands such as THE KINKS, THE BEATLES, and THE ROLLING STONES. Eclectic combinations of fabrics, patterns and color have been reformulated to replicate the rich rock culture that defined that era.

The collection boasts a variety of wovens, vests, t-shirts, pants, hats, ties and scarves. All fabrics are based on original vintage patterns circa 1965 through 1979 and have been reproduced for modern-day wear. Pants have a tailored narrow fit with flat fronts, and wovens feature bold chalk stripes, Prince of Wales plaids and tonic two-tone solids.

Retail price points range from $40-$120 with a targeted distribution to better department and specialty stores, think Nordstroms and all those killer rock stores that we can't get enough of!
