Hey yo...Youngblood continues to work on the new album, but my other band, Cougar, is playing some US dates coming up....check it out: Wed Nov 18 - Subterranean - Chicago, IL (w/1000 Vertical Feet) Thu Nov 19 - The Encore (ALL AGES) at UWSP - Stevens Point, WI Fri Nov 20 - Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) (ALL AGES) - Madison, WI Sun Nov 22 - Mercury Lounge - New York, NY (w/Gold Streets, Ludlow Lions) All of these shows have corresponding events on facebook, if you want to invite friends. Search 'COUGAR (ninja tune/counter) live' to find them all. Press on Patriot: "Might be the best thing to come from Madison since Butch Vig drove off with the demo tapes of Nirvana's Nevermind. A beautiful noise." Mojo 4/5 "An individual and welcome addition to the instrumental rock camp. Patriot is laden with great hooks and tricky drum patterns. Clever, memorable and original. Most Impressive." Clash 8/10 "Cougar have conquered and widened my horizons. They know exactly what they are doing. " Urb 4/5 "Sounds like the work of a band who have been honing their sound for a long time. Cougar is the real deal. Massively recommended." Kruger "Effectively and brilliantly manages to blend rock and electronic music without forgetting a unique and sparkling hook. A wake up call to the senses." Rock Feed Back "Intensely thought-out and refreshing worlds of sounds that encompass a wide range of instruments and technique." Big Cheese 4/5 "Cougar sew an impressive tapestry of styles together into a series of distinct landscapes. Cougar might just make you see the world in a more positive light." Rock Sound 8/10 "Soundtrack to swine flu, credit crunches and nuclear disasters. Noone are safe when Cougar is in the prowl." AU "It's tempting to tag Cougar as post-rock but that would be to sell them short. Their second album can't quite decide whether to be a kick-ass groove monster, a quasi-classical soundscaper or a glitch/math rock nerd, but is all the better for it." Uncut "Cougar explore the rock/dance axis in a similar way to Battles or Health but with more digital aggression." NME 8/10 Thanks for listening. www.myspace.com/cougarsound www.cougarsound.com www.twitter.com/cougarsound
