Nintendo in all their mighty wisdom have decided to call their new console "Wii"...

WTF?

I'll get on top of that, Wake.

Please get your orders in early for this because it's likely to sell out quickly due to there only being 500 copies. You can purchase a CD to accompany  the vinyl if you're all hi-tech.

We'll be playing up and down the country in May so it'll be nice to meet some of you!

Will let you know the dates as soon as its all booked.

Scutfink, we recently changed our drummer. Have a look at the link below. Whereabouts are you based?

"Insanely brilliant. 5/5"

"...summoning visions of Betty Page in
leopard-skin panties fighting off a bug-eyed
monster with a stiffy. Rise up and reject
conformity - follow The V.Cs like your life
depends on it."
- Artrocker

"...loose limbed surf rock with chewy keyboard, hollerin' vox and a touch of
David Lynchian spice. With added Theremin. Will Tarantino discover them for his
next film? Will Vince Ray design their t-shirts? All these things are quite
possible. And they have a tune about movie monster animator Ray Harryhausen.
That's classy."

populated by the corrupt and the crooked."

"...Hank Marvin has been put into a giant blender
with The B52's and the whole bloody mess turned
into soup and thrown and splattered against a
giant poster of 1960s Californian surf. Brilliant stuff."

General / 2000 AD Artist Contacts, anyone?
29 April, 2005, 07:46:41 PM
Can anyone help me out by listing the 2000 AD artists that have their own websites? Personal sites are preferred (especially those who list their current business email address).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
