This is the News!

It's been ages! Sorry about that.


It's been a bit quiet, but we've been up to lots. This summer we recorded a four track EP, to come out as a digital release and limited 33 1/3 r.p.m. 7" single in the Spring. Yes that's right, a 4-track seven-inch single like in the sixties. Vinyl extended play - our favourite format. The tracks are:

Dear Claire
Plane in the Sky
Let Me On Board
Buttoned Up.

It'll be on the band's own Calico Cat label, with free stuff and a digital download ticket too.

It's been quite on the gig/show front, but we've been rehearsing with a new drummer, Lisa, and a guitarist Andy, with a view to playing some shows in the new year. We've written / are writing some new tunes too.

Jason is on a sabbatical from the group at the mo', mainly because he is now teaching in Baltimore, but fear not he's promised to drop by with a new song from time to time.

Oh and we've set up a Bandcamp website too.

Oh and that old chestnut Snow Keeps Falling, our Christmas song makes another appearance, this time on a digital comp. called Happy Gift for the Pop Kids, through Japanese label Happy Prince. It will be available on iTunes, etc, just like The Beatles.

In the meantime we Dora and Lisa have penned the words to a Hanukkah song, with music by Phil. Hanukkah kind of crept up on us a bit this year, so it isn't recorded yet, but we rest assured it will make an appearance!
