Hie yer way to the GIGS section for dates and the like. “Doomsday Piano” is released August 5th – if yer friendly local record store dinnae stock it – screw ‘em and buy it here. In a totally unrelated aside, why did this man not become a huge star? The 6″ single of “What’s Up, Fat Lip?” is brilliant in every way: unsurpassed in the warmth of its production, full of wit and musically brilliant. (Available on the likewise excellent album, “The Loneliest Punk”. And ignore the idiots at Amazon who claim that this is a disappointing or even “wack” album. It is nothing of the sort. )

You might care to watch this animated clip here for “I Am Coming Back (In a Revenge Song)”. It features a skeletal zombie, insects, fire, wolves howling, mild swearing and many threats of vengeance – in short, all of the ingredients required of a quality song.
