   About Mr.Cat & The Jackal
Straight- This Mr.Life Guy, he ain't serious he's just joking around with us. He's got his deck of cards, his bag of tricks, his rabbit in a hat. And thats how he always fools us like that. He walks around with a suitcase and a cane, wearing a trench-coat over his clown suit next to his trusted Doberman. He's got it all figured out but his not gonna tell u. He's got a few things up his sleeves that he might just show you. But that vicious beast next to him is not to be trusted. He's name is other people and his got razors in his jaws. So don't come too close cause he's got quite a long chain, and Mr.Life will just laugh at you cringing in pain. So be cautious, and don't try to beat him at his game. you might be sitting with pocket aces but you know he's got five spades. and you can bet your ass its as straight as an arrow and you cant quit while your ahead cause you will never get there. Theres a few more characters in Mr.life's entourage. He keeps a marquise tent and a caravan full of freaks in his garage. And he travels from town to town in a rusted Ford pickup And he's sure to dazzle sure to entertain where he stops. Like this one fellow in his crew whose a real slippery cat. he can escape out of anything disappear with a drop of a hat . so bring along your locks, your chains, your hammers and your shackles Mr.Truth is known to take up any challenge. And theres the trapeze artist Miss.Carma Yea she's a real tease. shes always out to get you except if you keep her pleased. She once walked the tight rope over the grand canyon just for fun yea you know she knows all there is to know about balance. And there's also three big cats that escaped from a zoo. they once ate the entire audience as well as half of the crew. they will swallow anything whole that u throw in front of them. but Mr.Luck the lion tamer know just how to handle them. Everybody always says live your life with no regrette's but its not so easy if u think all your actions have effects. all your decisions have got consequence so be sure not to bluff is it a, or b, or c, or d or none of the above. ----------------------------------------------------------------- You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor!

The Pirates Charles





Feb 5 2008 1:47 PM

Come and rock out with the Pirates Charles throughout the month of February! We'll be playing two different shows at the Redwood Bar and Grill in Downtown LA, a fabulously steezy bar of piratical proportions - first is on February 5 and is a charity show to raise money to rebuild post-Katrina New Orleans, and the other is on Feb 15 - a gigantic promotional party for PyrateCon2008!





And while we're on the subject of raising money to benefit New Orleans, ye oughta be checkin' out 'Lafitte's Return: Pirates for the Preservation of New Orleans Music' - a compilation of pirate music from artists spanning the seven seas, all to raise money specifically for music education in New Orleans, for which there is practically no budget in the wake of how expensive the rebuilding of the damaged city is. It's a two volume set, sold separately, that features two of our original songs, "Raise the Whiskey High" and "Sand in the Rum".





And of course, don't forget to come rock out with us and our good friends The Atma along with Ledfoot and The Virgineers at the Verity Room on Friday, February 8!

Good skills, guys.

Did I ever tell you how much I love your thing?

You may find Rohan Kriwaczek's stuff to your liking. Look up the Rohan Theatre Band. Don't expect him to reply to comments, though. I've known him for nearly 30 years and he doesn't respond to me (and I'm his brother's best friend, as if that makes any bloody difference).

Hey brothers. Show by Hidden Cellar het gerock. Ek trek my woorde terug oor Fresh Meat 'n all that. Dit klink baie kool en die Bizuki (hoe spel mens dit?) klink ook baie kool. Hoe gaan dinge verder? Die volgende show is eers weer in September, ne? Wens ek kon meer help maar die blerrie graad hou my nogal fokken besig. Dalk kan ek volgende jaar bietjie meer iets doen. Julle weet mos hoe like ek die business side en al daai kak. Hier is dit maar heavy besig 'n junk. Is bietjie in Langebaan vir die naweek. Anyway, laat weet as julle weer in die area is dan kan ons iets gaan eet of so. Moet nou eers gaan leer...
