Have You Seen This Cat? - Part 2

We call him Super Kronos, The Dark Lord. He is awesome.

Label Love: M'Ladys

Shipping now, two records released by our pals in Portland M'Ladys (listen and browse their catalogue, go on...so good). Autumn is the debut album from Wellington four piece Golden Awesome, and You're Never Going Back is by guitar and drums duo Coasting.  Both available on CD and LP. More M'Ladys forthcoming.  We'll be sure to let you know.

A Note From Bannerman...

 

 

"Hello everyone.  We have a gig!   Do join us on Saturday night at the salubrious Golden Dawn - Tavern Of Power (Ponsonby, Auckland). 

 

Our last show there was for the album release for Dearly Departed and it was awesome.  A repeat performance is certainly a possibility. 

 

On Saturday we'll be without guitarist Matt Ledingham, who has inexplicably moved to Melbourne and left us wandering around morbidly at practice.

 

So I'll be wielding one of those double necked guitars and Finn will be grafting an extra hand to his elbow - probably worth the $5 admission alone.

 

This is going to be our last show for a few months as Cass is off to Europe with Tiny Ruins and Finn and I with Batucada Sound Machine. 

 

The plan is to be back on the live scene towards the end of the year with a new six piece band and new material.  Hot damn!

 

Hope some of you can make it along.

 

Thanks

Richie"
