AJC would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays to everyone.

The Pittsburgh and Rochester dates have been cancelled due to a promoter pulling out, so the band is now back at home in time for the Christmas holidays.

If you're looking for some more gifts for yourself at Christmas you can order an import single from Australia that has two versions of "Sick & Beautiful," a radio edit and the "quick fix" mix. It also has an older song from the Sal's Birdland days called "My Heaven." You can order it online from CD Now.

The December 1997 issue of Canadian Musician magazine has a review of “melt.” Writer John Albani states that “Artificial Joy Club's frustration seems to have resulted in another one of this year's top albums you will have to consider.”
