First things first, this blog won’t feature the word “cocksucker” nor the phrase “Inspector Gadget” as I said in my previous blog. And if anyone says “well you’ve just gone and bloody typed them out already in the first paragraph - durrrr!” then they get negative kudos… the ultimate Myspace insult. Those of you who know me well know I’m a deeply untrustworthy person, so the fact that I haven’t been true to my word should come as no surprise. I again promise, however, that “cocksucker” and “Inspector Gadget” will feature prominently in the next blog (ETA January 17th).
So yes, we have some VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO TELL YOU.
Newsworthiness 1: The album launch takes place on Thursday 15th of January @ TwoStep at the Limelight. Support comes from the fantastic Cutaways and Three Tales. We may even invite some of them up to hit things and blow into things during our set - UNBELIEVABLE FUNTIMES!
Newsworthiness 2: This Hope Will Kill Us will be available to be purchased from January 19th at
www.furioustradesmen.com - CASHBACK!
Newsworthiness 3: Panda Kopanda take over ATL on BBC Radio Ulster on Monday 12th (today)…well we are co-hosting the last hour of it (9-10pm). What that means we’re not quite sure but just tune in and you’ll find out. We’ll probably play a few tunes - the likes of Ace of Base, Stefan Dennis, 2 Unlimited, Chumbawumba - you know, the usual. I’ll be listening too, chances are it’ll be just Gavin. Despite the rest of us being blessed with a face for radio we were also cursed with a voice that instantly makes children cry- emmmm… BRUNO BROOKS!
Newsworthiness 4: The new website is up… at
www.pandakopanda.co.uk. SHUT UP, it’s the best we can do! Our Sega Megadrive wasn’t set up for web design! Unfortunately we lost out on
www.pandakopanda.com, it now seems to be your one-stop-shop for puppies, horses, goldfish and, of course, virgins - WWW.ONDERF.UL!
Newsworthiness 5: More album tunes are streamable at our
last.fm page. And every time you listen to one of our songs we get approximately 0.017 of a pfennig in royalties. So that’s good. We have also set up a
facebook fan page (maybe it’s the fans who are meant to do this but frig it), so please join it. It went live yesterday and we have 30 fans but I think I personally know 27 of them - so JOIN US!
Oh, and by the way, I recently did an interview with a magazine called TITS. So if anybody sees Take In The Scene, lift it up, flick through the pages until you find something about us and then begin moving your eyes from left to right, moving them down and to the far left again with the end of each line, much as you’ve become accustomed to over the years. You might learn something.
Right folks, I hope to see some familiar faeces at our album launch.
… I mean faces.
BYE,
