BULLETIN No.9: 24th January 2005

We've recorded our new single! And for the first time in years, we've been to another studio! We went to the much-talked-about Toybox Studios in Bristol, and christ, did we have a good time! It was so nice to know that we HAD to have things finished by the end of the weekend, and I think that pressure brought the best out of us, as even though recording at Stevie's is great, we can get a bit blasé about it because we have no time constraints.

Ali at Toybox is superb, and his unmastered mixes are brilliant. At present they are in the hands of the other Toybox stalwart, Stef, and we shall be getting the fully mastered versions from him next week. Until then, here's the unmastered version of Does Anybody Like Madonna?

More news to follow regarding it's release.

We'd also like to say a massive thank you to all the people who came to the John Peel Tribute Gig last Thursday and made it such a roaring success!
