love the sound at the end of Kerry!
oh my goodness, your guitarist is like, so hot.
We are currently working on our first EP, home recorded, it's based on the trumpet/guitar thing, which I've extended, and decided to call 'king racoon' because for me it's our sound best defined in a song,as well as being my first song. when we finish it we'll do a launch. More to follow
I'm coming home soon.... will be more writing/recording/gigging. Hurrah!

We will be supported by 99 positions and Colin F Murphy of 'The Little Band That Could' will be helping us out playing bass, because King Racoon has only 4 hands. Better than using pre-recorded samples and 'cheating'?
See you Thursday.
