   About the hat
Alas, after over 5 years together we've decided to call it a day. the decision is acrimonious and we all still regularly bathe together, just a choice to create different space. we have however just finished the album we've been threatening you with and have decided that the best way to launch it and say farewell would be to do two last back to back shows and give away copies of the album. these shows are on the 14th and 15th of august at the komedia. we will be playing through all the classics and generally having a big party. please come and show your love and tell anyone who you think would like to know. then at the end there will be a big puff of smoke and we will disappear. or something. x see you there.

Hey, Hatters - thanks for becoming Momo amigos.

Liked your creative attitude when I saw you live a while back. Check out Momo's own spoken word work style and daft electro influences next time you're passing.

Ciao for now,

Momo.
