How nice that you're thinking of me!I have made a new album.I have been
recording in L.A. and it will be released next year.It's called
Tigermouth.The first single is out next Feb.(2002).It's called KIDS and
John Densmore from the Doors played percussion on it.
I'm sorry I seemed to disappear all of a sudden,I will be back soon
with my very own music and I hope you like it.
I changed my name to Kelli Ali, It was my father's name and he died
before seeing the Sneaker Pimps success,so I promised that I would make
my next record under his name.
I am signed to One Little Indian records and V2 in Europe.
I'm sorry there has been very little info about all this,my website
will be up soon,
Take care and feel free to contact me.
Love Kelli x.

Hey kids!
Hope everybody's cool,I'm doing fine
and having fun,looking forward to the
album coming out at last!
I just had to write a message as I just saw the one posted about the
release of Tigermouth that was supposed to have been from me!
I felt a bit odd seeing that and decided that I really should say a
little hello to you kids!
Whoever really posted that message is quite right though,the album will
be out on 10 Feb I'm promised.
maybe it was someone from the record company or a friend,I don't know
but I'm sure that they meant well.
Anyway,now I'm writing to you all,I
just wanna say that the messages that you write have been a great
source of comfort and amusement to me!
Last year,was a strange and beautiful year.I learned patience and
although Tigermouth kept getting put back,a lot of people still posted
really
thoughtful and kind messages.
I do read them cos I guess I'm just a big ego in a tiny body !
But seriously,
thankyou to all the kids that bothered
about me even when it looked like I was never gonna release any stuff!
I hope that you'll dig Tigermouth cos
It's probably the most important record I'll ever make.
I can't wait to play live,that's been the
little spark in my heart waiting to ignite,it's been too long I guess.
Well,thanks again for your support
and interest,WC Roberts is a funny guy for sure,no offence pal,I mean
funny in a good way!
2003 looks good and you'll be hearing my voice soon but I wont tell
you where so it's a nice suprise!
Well,I'm off now,finish my beer and maybe get a little high.
Don't know when I'll write again but
just didn't want you all to think that if
I was going to write a message to the board that it would be so short
and
commercially motivated.
Okay,take care Kids!!!
Vive La Rock 'n' Roll !
Love Kelli x.

Hey you nutters!
Okay,I'm back,good to hear that my old faithfuls are still posting
messages on this god awful slow site!
I promise that I am working on getting a faster ,more exciting one
together for the future.....
Anyway,it was amazing travelling around Malaysia and Thailand and
Cambodia.
We met some beautiful people and saw some very cool things.
saw some sad ones too,like the crazy deforestation and 'developement'
in most places that we visited,also the land mine problem in Cambodia
was something that I had never really thought about until I went
there and now I feel that there must be more that we can do to stop the
idiotic use of such barbaric weapons all over the world.
It seems that there are crooks and criminals in charge of the world at
the moment who care more about the almighty dollar than they do about
their own people or the beauty of the natural world.
Anyway,now I'm back,I hope to add a few new things to the website,so we
can all talk about a few more interesting things than just me
(although,it's very flattering ; ) all the same),I know that some of
you guys in the U.S. and Europe are wondering why Tigermouth is not out
there yet,it's a long boring story which for various reasons I can't go
into right now but I'm really hoping that things will change soon on
that score,I have no record deal yet in the U.S. yet also which makes
it even harder to tour.
Guess that the time's not right just now but here's me feeling sorry
for myself and poor old Moonlark is laid up in hospital!Get well soon
sweetie!
And W.S. Roberts has booked up a trip for us to Skegness!I haven't been
ther since I was a kid and I'm still not over it!Thanks anyway though.
Okay,so just a little hello,it's going to take a few weeks to update
the site
but it will get done,honest!
Thanks Corky bloke for the wicked site you've done,it's really sweet of
you to go to all that trouble.
Vive La Rock 'n Roll!Let's try and do what we can to stop the crazy
greed fuelled destruction going on in the world today,oh god I just
know W.S.Roberts is gonna come back with a really witty reply!
Love Kelli x.
