   About Hurts to Purr
Hurts to Purr, the now-defunct Austin, Texas trio, was formed in 2003 by Liz Pappademas, Tom Benton and Jeremy Bruch. They released a full-length self-titled album in 2005. Producer Kevin Ryan and the band flew to Los Angeles to mix the record with Brian Kehew and earned a slot on NPR's All Songs Considered Open Mic program, but the band parted ways in January of 2006 citing diverging future plans as the cause for the split.

Liz Pappademas is pursuing a solo project in Los Angeles. Her album 11 Songs is available on iTunes and via her website: www.lizpappademas.com

Jeremy Bruch is playing drums for What Made Milwaukee Famous

Tom Benton is playing with Woody Russell and several other local Austin bands.

You can reach Liz, Jeremy, and Tom via their personal myspace pages linked at left and below.

May I borrow some of YourSpace to promote MyCdRelease?

The all new, all original CRUELTY arrives Tuesday, July 29, and I'll celebrate with a show at Austin's legendary Cactus Cafe. It's free, aside from the $15 you'll certainly want to spend on the CD. Raina Rose opens at 8:30 pm, then Southpaw Jones performs in his finest suit, and nothing will ever be the same.

Check out the preview track on my profile page or southpawjones.com. Thanks for sharing YourSpace!

I went to the Keep Austin Weird concert last night and after What Made Milwaukee Famous rocked out, what beautiful song did they play on their soundsystem? Six Months!! Musically sublime.

Hey Liz, how's it going out west? Don't know if you ever check this page, but this is my holiday note to all my "friends". Pass it on!

* May we be blessed with the awareness in ourselves and in our country to make things better than they have been. Let us acknowledge our own power to transform ourselves and our global position. If we are diligent in our efforts, we WILL change things. I believe the PEOPLE (you and me) are waking up. May we never turn away from our responsibility to ourselves and our neighbors. May we unite in goodness until it overwhelms everything else. *

Happy Solstice to you. May you all find happiness and peace for this season and beyond.

Bestly,
Melissa

I was listening to a mix I made that has "Mr. Atom" on it and I realized I hadn't looked at the HtP page in a while. "Maybe they are finally touring for the record" I thought to myself. Whaaaaaah? I was so sad to discover HtP is no more. At least we have the record. Sniffle, sniffle.
