Hey Throb,
Joe is playing in a band called NO now (nomusicforme.com) and is based in LA right now I think.
He also had his baby in Feb (http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/sting-i ... 6480.story)
A friend turned me on to this new band because one of the main guys is from Steriogram, a Kiwi band I loved!
They are doing a residency at the Echo in March- free every Monday night. I will definitely be hitting a few shows.
Will let you know how they are!
And am still hoarding air miles in case....
