There's been some goings-on in Camp Ze in the past. That's all changed now, for the better.

Over the past five years there's been too much of what 'other people' want, think, would like to do with "Ze Suicide", and not enough of what Stevie himself wants, thinks, would like to do.

From managers who've changed the name of the band; have spoken as him without his knowledge and without his knowing what has been said; have told him what he can and can't do/say because of their own tastes/preferences/likes/dislikes/fears; made decisions for him, in his name, without his prior knowledge or approval, with their own - not his - interests in mind; tried to change his songs and image; used him to 'get rich quick', and run away when it hasn't happened; have said who can and can't be on his friend-list on HIS myspace, regardless of what he himself has said (and have used the same myspace for their own ends, so if you find yourself deleted it's because Stevie himself has said you had to go)...the list goes on.

To band-members who have only been after using his name to further their own interests, and open doors for their own outfits, and have run out on him when those doors have opened; think they're on a 'get rich quick' ride without having to put in any work; think the music business isn't 'a proper job' but all the same want paying (?!!); who promise to 'be there and do their job' but have pulled out and left him in the lurch at the very last minute; have expected him and everyone else to sit and wait while they get on with their day-jobs, even to the point of cancelling or re-arranging gigs/festival bookings/photo shoots; have tried to make Ze Suicide their own outfit, and only wanted to work with their own idea's, never mind what Stevie's idea's are, in what is HIS outifit; have changed his words in written articles before posting them as blogs/newsletters...again the list goes on.

Most of these things have happened because Stevie doesn't have a computer, and hasn't been able to check for himself what's been going on, and people he's trusted not telling him the truth. Understandably this has led to confusion to people who haven't been 'in the know' of what's been going on, and blame has been laid unfairly at Stevie's door, when things have gone wrong. From now on, Stevie himself is in full control and nothing is done without his consent.

Only Stevie IS "Ze Suicide". No-one else can, or ever will be.
