Knievel shares tumble
Share prices for Sydney rock conglomerate Knievel have been in free fall since the band notified its shareholders at the last AGM that the band's new album would not be ready for release until the first quarter of 2012.
Blaming circumstances 'beyond their control' the band has had to fend off accusations that they have put the music ahead of shareholder interests.
Described as 'too big to fail' by some analysts, the band are currently in discussions with key people to negotiate a bailout package.
To take their mind off their impending calamity, Knievel are participating in a night of entertainment with Melbourne friends She's The Driver at The Gaelic Theatre on Sunday November 20.
Knievel will be previewing tracks from the forthcoming album Emerald City.

Knievel / Halfway juggernaut rolls into town...
Sydney recording artists Knievel have commenced their extensive east coast tour with Brisbane act Halfway and this week will be hitting the venues of Sydney and its surrounding hinterland.
Although the tour has been described as a 'juggernaut' in some media circles, the band have been quick to play down the scale of the tour saying that it simply does not fit the technical definition of juggernaut which is "an overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path'.
Nor can the tour be accurately described as 'rolling into town' since the band are actually based in the Sydney area.
Nevertheless, while the semanticists bicker, the reviewers are reaching for their handbooks of top superlatives to describe what they are seeing and hearing (see internet).
The new Knievel EP "They Listen Out' can currently be purchased from Redeye Records in Sydney: www.redeye.com.au
Please note Knievel and Halfway play Notes in Newtown this Friday 8th April 2011 and not Saturday as implied in some hysterical tabloid reports.
You can pre-book directly with Notes on 95575 5111 or www.noteslive.net.au or Oztix at www.oztix.com.au
A copy of menu, wine and cocktail list can be found at www.noteslive.net.au and Knievel recommend the Salmon Fillet with asparagus spears, shaved fennel and tomato with caper burree noisette as the perfect accompaniment to their music.

Knievel have some time to themselves…
Sydney rock band Knievel have been shunning the spotlight in recent years to spend some time getting back to normality after a period of frenzied touring in the early part of the century which saw them play in such well known countries as the United States and Japan.
The band have been spotted recently rehearsing at a secret location and a source close to the band has revealed exclusively that they are in good spirits and really just enjoying having a chance to talk amongst themselves and sit down.
They have planned a series of shows, one at a secret location that no one knows about and another at a venue that not very many people know about but which is really good.
The band have been recording a new platter (if that is in fact what they are still called) and is anticipating having a single from the album available in some virtual form some hours before the show commences.
For those looking for something fit to print, read on…
Knievel are a band who are no strangers to not playing and not releasing anything but now they would like to announce that they are playing a show at Melt Bar in Kellett St, Kings Cross on Thursday, 25th November with the fabulous World Champion and Community Radio (Cameron from Youth Group's solo project) as a part of the acclaimed Natural Selection series.
The show commemorates 6 years of not having done much but will be a chance for the band to preview some new tracks from their new album entitled "Through the Rainbow Dark" which is scheduled for release in early 2011.
A new single from the band entitled "They Listen Out" will be available on itunes at some imminent, but again, secret future date.
