   About The Bobby McGee's
Making Other Bands Look Shit Since 2002 ..................................................................................................................... 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.

Hi & thanks! Lets go Picnic, best! plexx



Picnic, new album!
Portia Records, Out now! (US & CA, delivery worldwide) buy
Molécula Records, Out now (México) buy
Universal Records, Out October 2008 (Philippines)
********************************************
Buenos Aires born, Barcelona resident and graphic artist Sebastian Litmanovich is Cineplexx.

With the help of friends Duglas Stewart (BMX Bandits), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Federico Aubele and Jad Fair, Cineplexx presents Picnic, a gorgeous Spanish-language record of beautiful harmonies and lush instrumentation similar to Belle & Sebastian a la The Boy with the Arab Strap, the swaying rhythms of Gilberto Gil and tender 60s rock reminiscent of Love and the Zombies.

Picnic is a rare treat of a perfect pop record with revelatory songs underneath the album's fuzzy, echoed wash.
