Gentlemen in Squalor EP Now Available!
Patience is an Annoying Virtue!
Dear Fans and Stalkers
Our New EP is ready in CD format (complete with hidden track) which we can happily post to you however we are still grappling with the technology of electronic distribution and there will be a brief delay in getting it uploaded. To annoy you further, we have had to take down our 'Fast and Louche' album TEMPORARILY while we change distributors but rest assured, it will be back on the interweb very soon. Your options are:
- Contact the band and ask to be informed the minute our music is available for download (this will not get you added to the mailing list - it is a one-off notification)
- Contact the band to arrange the transfer of money (from you) and a CD (from us) - we can even sign it if you like but that will delay the transaction as we'd have to teach some members of the band to spell their names.
BRAND NEW EP 'GENTLEMEN IN SQUALOR' - COMING TO AN INTERNET SHOP NEAR YOU. VERY SOON.
