Paper

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.

Cowboy Cat rides again… For the first time.

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…
