   About The Bobby McGee's
Making Other Bands Look Shit Since 2002.............................................................. "Amazing" Jarvis Cocker...................................................................................... "Fave New Band!" NME August 06........................................................................ "In my ideal world Bobby McGee's would be No1 EVERY DAY" Huw Stevens on Radio 1 "Like Dostoyevsky Doing Skiffle!" Everet True in Plan B "Demented...Psychotic...Brilliant...World Beating" Artrocker Aug 08 "Evoking the spirit of Ivor Cutler & Ed Gein....wonderfuly endearing & highly dangerous" Bizarre magazine Christmas 08 ......................................................................................................................... In 1989 I saw saw a wee new band called HAPPY MONDAYS support james at the QM in Glasgow...every person in the room went "What the fuck was that?" .................................................................................................................. "Shortly after his Grandfathers funeral Jimmy discovered a ukulele in the attic and a small handwritten book of his grandfathers poetry....He met Eleanor the day after his best friends wedding, at a Libertines gig. They booked 3 gigs and guided by the unflinching eye of their guru and mentor Duke Marmapants, decided to form the greatest band of all time. He wrote some songs about shagging. She wrote some songs influenced by words she had seen written on toilet walls. They are repeatedly described as "Genius" and once as "Dostoevsky singing Lonnie Donnegan" Both descriptions are correct." ............................................................................................................... DISCLAIMER: This story is TRUE & has nothing to do with the work of Joseph Campbell or their interpritation by George Lucas.
We are pleased as punch to announce our second release will be the inimitable Bobby McGee's new 7" single L.O.V.E.! It will feature two other tracks Go Tiger Go! and Harold & Maude and has a cover specially commissioned from our resident illustrating whiz kid Laura Bell. It is out now and available to purchase across the UK and online.

You can order it from Rough Trade:

Always good to see you Jimmy, except for that time when you were naked.
Sorry about the sound in Bristol on Saturday. I was very disappointed in not getting the proper Bobby McGees sound.
See you in Brighton soon.
Have you seen my dog?

It sucks that myspace doesnt have Helvetica, but alas Verdana isn't that bad...

Hi BMG's - we r playing with you chaps on the 21st of November at the Unitarian Church. Although, I did totally think that the gig was at the Amnesty shop. Hm. 

Anyway, we are really looking forward to it. Should a wicked vibe. Have you played at the church before?

Seen you guys loads of times before. Hoorah for the BMG's x

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
