Hey Mook (*self titled) 2006
Visit the fringe festival night market and pick up a bargain............ Sat 3rd May at the Brisbane Hotel car park------------>
After a summer of darkness hey mook are preparing to record their 5th album. The songs are written... well mostly... money has been secured...in theory-------------------------------------------->The band felt pretty smug after a surprise visit from legendary Go-Betweens drummer Lindy Morrison at the last gig --> "it was my birthday party and there's Lindy singing happy birthday to me" said a flaberghasted sister of unnamed band members----------------------------------------------------> the Crescent Hotel watering hole to the stars
errrr Yeah, happy new year Mooks. I think you should do your next long player live in the Crescent Carpark and call it a take (if you're game). It'd cook like a Crescent Hotel kitchen vegan dinner. Anyway, I think Nick Cave totally sucks (if I'm allowed to).
Get the Mooks a spot at the Big Day Out 2009 by voting for them at uncharted. com. au (I took the liberty of registering them) ... like it'll be worth it just to hang with Neil Young .... P.S. Happy 40th Maggotman
In which Robbie McMook gets the dubious honour of being the first mookish visitor at Muriel Court Mansions and we all agree a man needs a shed. The Mooks need a man with a shed. Anyways, apparently Coburg is the new home of Rock n' Roll in Melbourne so I think I'll start a local version of battle of the Garages if I can ever get a band together. Watch out. The last thing the world needs right now is another f*****g alt-country band.
Retro-Sci-Fi meets modern Dancefloor: our new album Traveler is now available worldwide on CD and as MP3. Visit us and enjoy the trip through time and space.
Hey Mooks - you gave great practice the other night and thanks for doing request - Cold Snap done to the max - anyways get cracking on the new long player before it goes stale - I'll send Kyle Sandilands a demo and maybe he can help with distribution, I hear he's very good. Love your garage Robbie. Love the Mooks ... .. .

Hey Mooks - if a big corporate band like Radiohead can provide free downloads and remain feasible then why can't you? Enable downloads and get that Mook Music a happenin' on Ipods and thingos everywhere ..... or be square ....
