Bob Hanley writes with
an update on Canadian band Invisible College. The
band will be releasing their own OMD tribute CD on March 21st. "This
project has taken more time than expected" adds Bob "but
is in the final mixing stages".

to anyone who's interested.
At the same time, Invisible College will also be releasing their own single
Lift. Then in May, the band will be performing live
in and around the Toronto area where they'll be playing songs from their forthcoming
album (due in midsummer) and Bob also adds "There will also
be a treat for OMD fans who attend the shows...".
