   About Cooties Attack!

"like an airfix kit put together by a six year old"

Cooties Attack are a bedroom disco punk band formed when Holly and Huw had nothing better to do other than write songs about superheroes, crushes, Harry Potter, and zombies.

Holly helped Huw with his library school homework. Or rather she made the cups of tea and pretended to understand cataloguing. Huw impressed her with his knowledge of more than one guitar chord. She gave up her supercasio way of life and they wrote a song and ate jaffa cakes and everything was ok in the world.

Melisa sang and played melodica with us for a while but she left to become a full time B Girl.

Holly and Huw are also the magical wizard rock band Shrieking Shack Disco Gang.

We sing songs about superheroes, crushes, fragile egos, indiepop girls, Harry Potter, discos, queer scenes, and other such nonsense in a disco punk style. We do have a bunch of new songs, which we're gonna record once we can afford it this summer. and we've remembered how they go.

"iar “I’m Amazing” mi se pare una dintre cele mai bune ,,i mai distractive piese de pe luna asta" - Yeah!

Apologies for being spammy, but just to let you know that myself and the Pope proudly announce the release of my second album, Murder Music, out now on Cherryade Records.

If you're a local artist/musician, manager or promoter and you'd like to be more self-sufficient through your creative projects and you have a degree ... then why not try this new Masters course at the University of Bolton starting in September ...

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

Hank Bobbit & Hug Party at Club Wotever

24 April
Jesters Bar, The Cross Kings

HUG PARTY

Hug Party are a queer hip-hop hugging and rapping duo started in 2006. We sing about chubby girls and re-appropriated graffiti not bitches and bling. We don’t pretend to fit into hip hop culture and this means that we sing in our own accents and try to challenge the homophobia and sexism which sometimes accepted in mainstream hip hop. If rap karaoke were a real genre Hug Party would be at the top.



HANK BOBBIT

Hank Bobbit is a six 6' 2" tall, dark haired Butch with a dazzling duck tail. She is also the singer, guitarist and songwriter of Berlin-based garage rockabilly band "Lorena & The Bobbits". The band started up in 2001, after a friend had told Hank that she looked like a “lean, tall cowboy”. This and a strict, lifelong musical diet of Jerry Lee Lewis, Reverend Horton Heat and L7 had put the seed in her brain to start a Dyke Country Punk Band. After the first rehearsal it turned out that neither of the members was capable of playing country, so they simply decided on playing a mix of Rockabilly and 60ties Garage Punk with some true Cowboy lyrics thrown into the howling pit of noisy guitars and a manic drum kit.
