STEVE E NIX & THE CUTE LEPERS SIGN TO DG

OH YES Steve E Nix & The Cute Lepers debut album will be coming out on Damaged Goods in April, preceded by a new 7" 'Out Of Order' a few weeks before.

Who are the Cute Lepers I hear you ask...?

Formed by Steve E Nix & Kicks from The Briefs (who are taking a break for the next year or so) along with Zache Out on Guitar, 'Tude & Yelps, Josh Blisters, Drums and children, Bent Rewd Leper III on Vox, Tambo, Big Handclaps, Analisa Leper, Vox, Tambo, Medium Handclaps & Miss Meredith, Vox, Tambo, Little Handclaps.


From their MySpace page...The Cute Lepers: Originally the idea for the band was that it was to be something equally influenced by first wave punk, mod-revival, power pop, and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders... oh yeah, with occasional hints of doo-wop, oldie rock'n'roll and a load of female back-up vocals. I still think this is an excellent idea, but as the band has really come together over the last few months, I am starting to think a barbershop septet composition may not feel out of place. We've got one album "in the can", and we're currently looking for a home for it. In the meantime, when not playing shows, we'll be cruising vintage vespas, hanging around greyhound bus stations, contemplating hairdos, and working on the next album. It's gonna be a blast, and artistically... hey, sky's the limit! We've got a lot of voices to work with and we happen to know some very stylish horn players. Thanks to everyone who picked up the first single and we're looking forward to beating our songs into your heads on tour in 2008! ---Steve.

HEADCOATEES REISSUES A GO-GO

Get your Headcoats on again… Cos it’s time for four re-issues of long lost Thee Headcoatees albums that were originally released on Vinyl Japan in the 1990’s.

HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL

BALLAD OF THE INSOLENT PUP

BOZSTIK HAZE

HERE COMES CESSATION

They will be available again on Vinyl and lovely Digi-pak CD’s and also for the first time as downloads in February 2008

In case you didn't know...The Headcoatees were Holly Golightly, Ludella Black, Kyra Rubella & Bongo Debbie, they released seven studio albums, a singles compilation and a split live album with Thee Headcoats.

Thee Headcoatees played live along with Thee Headcoats from 1990 – 1999 when they split followed a year later by Thee Headcoats.

Holly Golightly has gone on to release 13 solo albums and too many singles to mention, plus notable guest appearances on records by Rocket From The Crypt, The White Stripes and Mikabomb.

Ludella Black was a founder member of legendary Medway band the DelMonas and has also released two solo albums with another planned for 2008 and is currently out on tour with The Masonics.

Kyra Rubella released one solo album and singles on quite a few labels in the 1990’s, she also did a single with Armitage Shanks in 1996. Kyra is currently in The A-Lines along with Debbie and Julie from The Musicians Of The British Empire.

Bongo Debbie is currently in various bands including The Buffets, The A-Lines, & Dutronc and before that was also in The Would Be Goods, Honey & The Hucksters, Baby Birkin and probably a lot more besides.

And lookout for lots more classic Garage re-issues over the coming year and a new album from Ludella Black too.
