Who Needs A House Out In Hackensack?

About Me


Them Cats Do Have Nine Lives.
The houses are almost sold, the souls are sold, our hearts viciously trampled on and our blood sucked dry. Balboa and myself sure have the bruises to prove it. Some of our friends and felines know the hell we are going through with our personal lives but the band is still kicking. Thanks to Big Frank for filling in on bass duties for the time being. Speaking of the bass player situation, the job is almost filled as we have two to three dudes that are about to be chosen for the crazy job. We are still keeping away from lawyers, ex-wives, ex-girlfriends, haters, downers, stalkers, cops and any battle of the band gigs. New album? ah yes, we are definitely recording a new album. I'm looking at the Fall for the recording with a Winter release. Like the previous two albums, the next disc will be done by our own means. We are firm believers of the DIY approach. With the support of club owners and our friends and felines, we're hoping to have a new disc soon. Until then, we'll catch you at the next show...
