(I read Pamela’s fantastic book “I’m With The Band” back when we were recording the 1st Company Of Wolves album and loved it – so I am super excited about speaking to the lady herself. Not to mention that I dug what she did with her band The GTOS – a Frank Zappa production!)

“We Like It” Video Wins 1st Place In Golden Door International Fim Festival For Best Music Video!

My “We Like It” video, which won this prestigious Best Music Video award at The Golden Door International Film Festival was the work of many:

Director Peter Perenyi & son Orion Perenyi who filmed all of my performance bits at their studio, NATBORN (Westchester, NY), motion graphics & final edit by David Provan at 12 Inch Media (UK), songwriting by myself & Andy Partridge, music production by myself with additional remote production by Andrew Hollander & Andy Partridge, mixing by Geoff Sanoff at Renegade Studios (NYC) and of course, the musicians; Prairie Prince/drums, John Conte/bass, Rob Schwimmer/keyboards & a host of backing vocalists (to be named later.)

Many thanks to Christian Keiber, Bill & Michele Sorvino and everyone who works so hard at the Golden Door Film Festival. This is truly an honor!!

More thanks goes to my songwriting hero from XTC, the great Andy Partridge who brought me this little nugget of a song idea and allowed me to finish it off – with his genius input every step of the way.

Alice Cooper’s “Elected” & Steve’s New Song, “We Like It” Hang Together!

My man Alice Cooper understands the relevance of ELECTION songs right about now…and next to his “Elected”, this Cooper site has featured my song “We Like It” – which is kinda the same subject matter. Nice one! Thanks to Dennis Dunaway… 💜 Link to site + my video here: https://www.sickthingsuk.co.uk

And more thanks to Michael Monroe, who introduced me to Alice while we were on tour together and to Ryan Roxie, Tommy Henriksen & Chuck Garric who all talked The Coop into getting me onstage with them for “School’s Out” – 3 times!!
