This last weekend was a pretty crazy one for us… and not just people-who-start-reality-TV-shows-about-themselves crazy, more like people-who-ingest-sewage-in-an-atempt-to-mutate-into-crime-fighting-human-animal-hybrids crazy.

On friday we celebrated Ryk becoming a man, well the surgery in only scheduled for late August but it was also his 21st birthday so we just partied anyway. The night was a surreal contest of fancy-dress delinquents attempting to out-offend each other with their costumes, out-cheese each other with their karaoke song choice and out-drink each other with the free beer. Needless to say we all thinned the blood, spoke loads of shit, got frostbite, threw cellphones out of car windows, affixed dildo’s to our chests, lost our underwear and had some damn tasty chicken wings.

stay tuned for Balls to the wall (or face) pt.2 where we discover how not to:
•Impress MILFs
•cure hangovers with R25 bottles of wine
•follow directions to Ashton when you’re drunk
•make friendly conversation with enormous, hairy afrikaaners

So you guys may have been wondering where we’ve been since our last gig, which was just before the dinosaurs died off due to a mass suicide cult started by a crafty pterodactyl, and the answer is quite simple. We’ve been drawing penises on things, making coffee, seeing how many days in a row we can wear the same trousers, making rather a large mess and writing, crafting, rewritng, scrapping, re-looking and finally recording some new songs for our upcoming EP. 

As you can see, cousin It very kindly offered us his studio, which was awesome.

But even more awesome (though and slightly less Adams Familyish) was that we’ve had the privilege of recording our 5 new tracks with SAMA winning (and goth-chick digging) producer/engineer Neal Snyman. Which has been more awesome than a deep-fried pizza burger.

We’ve almost finished all of the tracking and are really excited about how it’s sounding so far. We’ll be keeping you posted on the progress as well as the sweet launch party we’re organising.

Our sexy buddies Simon and Jody from the RRRRRRRRRRRRRRudimetals are gonna be helping us fatten up the horn sections on our upcoming EP.

Big thanks to the two of them for coming round this weekend and making us even hornier than usual (except for Mat who is physically unable to get any hornier than he already is).

We’ve been taking a break from gigging over the last month so that we can work on our new EP, which we’ll be releasing in the next couple of months. Next Saturday we’re going into HeyPapaLegend studios to begin tracking so we’ve been busy recording scratch tracks and doing pre-production in our top secret, underground hideout / a bedroom at Ryk & Jon’s house.

It can be described as being very much like the bat cave only far more awesome.
