EXCITING WIG RELATED NEWS

We have finished our first EP. So gouge out your ear wax and have a listen and see what you think. The songs are available for download if anyone wants them or you could hunt one of us down with a spear and we will give you one.

So after a long while without the world’s only apple core pubic hair metal band we decided to have our not so awaited come back.

There has been some changes in the line up, Baz has left and has been replaced by Paul from TSJ and Stu got married and started a family and had to move to Englandshire because of work, so we have to say a fond and possibly thankful (only kidding Stu we love you really ;-P ) good bye our singer.

However we are back with and we have got a new singer. His name is Joe and you might have seen him before playing with AVX. He has stepped up to the to be the frontman of the mighty wig machine which allows Mark and Andy to go back to doing what they do best.....that would be playing thier guitars and doing backing vocals and generally being ginger...... How many people where thinking that......yeah all two of you. So we are back to full numbers and with the new line up set in place and new songs will be along soon.... Hopefully.

Also if anyone out there in internet land who fancies gigging with us drop us a line at:

Merkin,

Between Pants and Crotch,

1 Foosty Minge Lane,

Wig Land.

Or get in touch through the myspace.

Hey there, just a quick NOYR update. Firstly we're having a big summer sale, you can pick up all our releases (including new albums from Young Heart Attack, 4ft Fingers and The Good Time Charlies, the InSoFar mini album and Loyalties, Radio Dead Ones and Devildolls vinyl) cheaper than you can buy them digitally! Head over to the Not On Your Radio website to pick up some bargains.

Our bands are keeping busy 4ft Fingers will be heading out on another uk tour, Young Heart Attack should be returning to Europe later in the year and InSoFar are busy in the studio writing for their debut album.

We're currenlty working on a few new releases, more news on that soon and keep an eye open for our new website in the coming weeks.
