Costello Squeezes into studio


Cynthia Rose

Squeeze, who recently appeared at the Birmingham Exhibition Centre supergig with ex-Ace keyboardsman Paul Carrack occupying the seat vacated by Jools Holland, are now in the studio working on their new album, which is being produced by Elvis Costello.

The Costello involvement lends credence to the story that Squeeze are soon to be involved in a management switch which will see the band parting with Police svengali Miles Copeland and being handled instead by Jake Riviera, who is said to be keen to see the band appearing on his F-Beat label, though they are apparently firmly pacted to A&M.

Meanwhile Jools Holland and his new band The Millionaires have been piecing tracks together with the aid of producer Pete Wingfield. Chris Difford has provided lyrics for half the material so far recorded.


Pete Thomas


T-Zers

Pete Thomas of The Attractions somehow let his cigarette — a small cigar — wind its way into the pocket of Madness saxophonist Lee Thompson during the recent Birmingham do. Thompson — known to friends and Inland Revenue as Kix — then set about the wretched Thomas smiting him hip and thigh with the aid of two friends. Now then. It resulted that one of the four parties involved in this fracas became most beaten-up. Can you guess which one? We contacted Elvis' drummer at his sanitarium. "Ouch," he said.

More! Steve Naive of the same Attractions has shaved his head. Yep, now he's a man of polish — mostly around his head. Less hair to comb but more face to wash etc...
