Cats meow, birds tweet.
No longer! Our good friend Cowboy Cat, made famous on the Holy Fuck t-shirt bearing his likeness, has had a lot of downtime since we’ve been off the road and he’s set himself up on Twitter. Granted he hasn’t had all that much to say yet, but things will be picking up soon so watch out for his tweets.
Graham and Punchy are also tweeting. So if you’re into the mundane, here are your coordinates: Graham & Punchy.
In other non-virtual news, we’ll be coming back to Europe and the UK this spring (here are some pics of one of our more recent trips there). All the dates are on our MySpace. Looks like that tour will be followed by another swing through the U.S.A. before the summer. The details of that are still being worked out.
Most importantly, we’re still toiling away at our new record, but it’s almost done and we’re excited about it. If everything goes according to plan, provided there is a plan, it should be available somewhere around September of this year.

One year ago today I played my first show with Holy Fuck! How about that?! I have yet to receive a traditional gift of paper from any of the dudes, but it’s 4 in the afternoon, so who knows what the rest of the day holds.
The first show in question was an afternoon slot at the Camp Bisco festival in upstate New York. It was not the most auspicious of debuts in that it completely sucked. I did, however, get to see Slick Rick play and visit the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame the morning after the gig.
Since then we’ve played over 160 shows, at least a dozen live sessions and about 20 studio dates. We’ve taken about 40 flights, a few trains, buses, boats and countless vans while touring in Canada, the U.S.A, Mexico, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Holland, Germany and Greece. Good times.
Today we’re at XL Recordings in London testing out their brand-spanking new recording studio. We’ll be here for the next four days working on some hot new jams which may or may not appear on our next record. Snooper’s Paradise came through again yesterday and we picked up a new drum machine that should get a good workout in the studio. While in Brighton we also played the Loop Festival. Or it played us, I’m not sure.
Before I go butter my strings, let me introduce you to our newest furry friend, who we met at the Lowlands Festival in Holland: Randy the Setlist Squirrel…
Cowboy Cat might want to watch his back.

Many of you have been hounding us for months now about where to purchase our insanely popular Cowboy Cat t-shirts online. Well, we finally got off our asses and did something about it - Cowboy Cat shirts are finally available online through MapleMusic: http://www.maplemusic.com/dept.asp?dept_id=3079.
Cowboy Cat, for his part, couldn’t care less, he just wants to continue riding our coattails around the globe. Here he is enjoying some Polish vodka in Bergen, Norway…
