September 1st, 2010Booky Wook 2: pre-orders
August 12th, 2010
Russell’s second volume of autobiography is now available for pre-order from Amazon
Here’s a bit of blurb:
“In the sequel to Russell’s best-selling biography ‘My Booky Wook’ we follow the now sober but still scandalous, sex-fuelled star on his electrifying rise to international fame. A roller coaster ride through tours, films, stand up and tabloids – this time, it’s personal.”
The book is unleashed upon the UK and Australia on 30th September, US on 12th October 2010.
Check back for news of signings and events.

Exclusive video and competition
June 23rd, 2010To celebrate the UK release of Get Him To The Greek we’ve got a bundle of soundtrack CDs to give away. If you want to win one all you have to do is come up your own title for an Infant Sorrow song and Russell will pick the best ones – or maybe the worst ones depending on how you look at it.
It’s worth having a peek at the GHTTG track-list to get a flavour of Infant Sorrow’s twisted lexicon.
Post your entry in the Comment section below.
Competition closes Monday 28th June.

Infant Sorrow at No.1
June 22nd, 2010
Infant Sorrow’s debut album, “Get Him to the Greek,” has landed at No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart.
Russell, as rocker Aldous Snow, sings all the tracks on the record. The songs were written and recorded by a number of high-profile British rockers, including Carl Barat of the Libertines and Jarvis Cocker.
In an interview with Billboard Russell said, “We took the music for this film very seriously. We got brilliant writers and tried to make it as authentic as possible. We wanted songs that were quality and quirky-like a rock version of Flight of the Conchords.”
And we have a bunch of Infant Sorrow CDs to giveaway through rb.tv and an exclusive vid as well – check back for details (probably get this up for you tomorrow to mark the UK release of The Greek)
The soundtrack is available now on iTunes, and your local independent record stores
