New song "Surrender"

Apologies on the lateness of this edition.
One of our monkeys made off my laptop! grrrr

Nonetheless we are proud to release "Surrender", the fourth song taken from our up coming album.This song took us ages to nail to the floor, we headed off in so many crazy directions, we kind of lost our objective. Mimmo finally wrestled the beast to the ground, thus naming the song "surrender"
You can listen to and download the song for free here: Surrender

We are also very excited to welcome our new artist to the fold, the incredible Mr Shane Van Den Akker. You will be seeing a hell of lot more art from this guy over the following months. You gotta check out his illustrations for "Surrender"

Hey all!

Thought I would fill you all in on what we are up to.

Currently we are recording our second album and are
releasing a song a month leading up to the albums release.
The album will be released as a graphic novel (comic book)
and each song will represent a chapter. We have teamed up
with a group of artists who are currently illustrating each song.

Two songs have been released already and can be viewed on
our website:
Everybody's Gonna Fry
Na na na

You can keep up with each release via our monthly email newsletter.

Check out the illustrations for "Everybody's Gonna Fry" by Robert Creedon. Originally drawn on toilet paper and filmed being pulled on a toilet roll holder, think more low fi than a cartoonflip book. These toilet paper illustrations were latter recycled by the artist for its original intended purpose. Click here:

I remember Bar telling me he saw Ween play at a festival while on tour
with Mr Bungle. As the tale goes, they were knocking back bottles of
scotch while smashing up the plastic furniture they were given to relax on.
They then got up and played the most together set he had ever seen,
completely hammered.

(I love the idea of these guys smashing up plastic furniture. hahahahahaha!!!!)
