Sambuka Fedora played a one-off surprise show at Danceteria. The brief show was a mix of new songs, including their forth coming release Dangerous Bounds. The crowd, including yours truly, went crazy when they broke into their biggest hit, Delight Me. While the crowd wanted more, the guys had other plans.
Bassist Nigel Hartagan and lead singer Tristan Langford headed over to the VIP section of Palladium, where I witnessed firsthand the trouble these two got up too. While I won’t go into details, I’ll just say while the models are away, the boys will play. Even though Tristan’s married, that didn’t stop a bevy of beauties from lining up to praise him in oh so many ways.
Nigel only had eyes for one, and it wasn’t his fiancé, Melinda Stone. His lady for the night was the model who only needs to go by one name, Natalia. She seemed to be just as interested in him. Maybe what he said in a recent interview about his engagement to Melinda not being permanent held some truth and he wasn’t ready to tie himself down, at least not with a wedding.
While Tristan and his crew of beauties closed the club down, Nigel left early on, much to the disappointment of yours truly.
Other popular gossip making the rounds is that singers Aidan Stringer and Russell Langford will be part of this year’s international model search. Charles Capri’s Model of the Moment contest is being held right here in New York City. While we will be delighted to hear Aidan croon, I’m kind of disappointed that we’ll just have to settle for watching Russell as he judges this year’s crop of beauties.
Melinda Stone is co-hosting, so look for Nigel Hartagan to be in the crowd, unless they’ve broken up by then.
Else where thankfully, Grace Filmore’s obsessive fan has been apprehended by police. However, it makes you wonder if all the press coverage didn’t help shoot her latest release, Tears of My Heart, to number one. Hmm, maybe it was all just a setup? After all, they say there is no such thing as bad press.
