"It's not a whole album, just a group of songs; but's it's sub-divided into named and numbered sections so, to my mind, it counts.... Down in the Sewer by the Stranglers (off of Rattus).
It's rather good, too.

Sarah's been busy making a film (low-budget horror, I think), so we had a "no gigs in September" agreement (sounds much better than 'diktat', doesn't it?). Our October return is hopefully going to be late in the month with Ste McCabe and Candy Panic Attack. Watch this space.....

Well, fresh from the first Cramps night (in Edinburgh).....people bemoaning mistakes but I never noticed, only my own.......we have another gig to add to the list; Camp Zombie near Blackpool in July!
We've never played an outdoor festival before and are greatly looking forward to it; there's zombie films and so on going on too....make-up tips for the hard of breathing.
