At long last! Here it is folks. The long awaited follow-up to last year's '(It's Always) BoomTime' promotional short.
It's taken longer than it might have, but we hope it's been worth the wait. We'd like to thank everyone who helped us make it, you've been great!

It's Twenty Five To Six (again), so it must be time to launch our new look website into the interpipes.
Currently the new album - We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At They Came From The Stars I Saw Them - is finally in the shops on CD and delicious vinyl - it's the first time in our entire history that one of our records has actually had decent distribution - we've had an almost comical history of terrible distribution - last years '(it's always) Boomtime' single didn't even make it past the warehouse, so the fact that this one is not only available, but available in hmv, itunes, even on the Tescos and Woolies websites, is a pretty big step for us. We're very pleased with this album, and think you should probably all buy it immediately to inspire us to go and make another!
Inbetween all the concert activity at the moment we're currently producing another pop video on the same low budget as the last one, but hopefully this time MTV will have enough of a sense of humour to play it. It's for our next single from the album - Moon Song - a live favourite currently undergoing transformation by several remixers including Mungolian Jetset and DFA's Holy Ghost. The video will mostly be animated by Kevin Candy who animates a series called 'Meet The Moon Bears' on his own myspace, but will also have live bits directed by Rachel Martinez, who did the Boomtime video (if you haven't seen it yet, click on the video tab and have a peek. It's such a gas it's even being taught in schools as an example on how to make a great video for no money!)
