OOOH, GOLLY.... its been such a long time since we've been in touch! And there's so much to tell!

Firstly, we've quietened down on the gig front, as Bec is having a baby! And we didn't feel a hectic touring schedule was conducive to giving a baby the best start in life. She's due on Halloween, but we're hoping the baby stays put 'til All Saints' Day!

But that doesn't mean we won't be out and about though! We organised a few special acoustic shows (and made sure the doors are wide enough to get the ever-increasing Bec through!):

Wednesday 16th July - ginglik, Shepherd's Bush, London

Friday 8th/Saturday 9th August - Tapestry Goes West, Margam Park (Bec & Beth Duo Show)

And, the other big news is......... Blue Hands will finally be released on 22nd September! We'll have more details nearer the time, but it will be available in all good record shops and online. Woohoo!

Bec and Beth will also be releasing their debut EP, 'Where we are from the birds sing a pretty song', on Purr records on 25th August.

AND DON'T FORGET: If you haven't got your hands on new single, 'Somewhere' you can buy it here, here or here, or from any good record shop!

Phew, think that's just about it!

Hope to see your rather dapper selves at a gig very soon,

Lots of Love

The Hot Puppies xx


SOMEWHERE OUT MONDAY!!!
somewhere will be out this monday 26th on purr records and can be bought from all good record shops and here.Woohoo!! And listen out for bec's interview on chris hawkin's bbc 6 music show coming up in the next couple of weeks! You can find out more here.

CANCELLED - WOLFGANG BOPP @ MONTAGUE ARMS 6/7
Unfortunately due to a draconian clampdown by Lewisham council the gig tomorrow has been cancelled. The owner of The Montague Arms called me to explain that the council has suspended their live music licence because promoters other than ourselves have been repeatedly warned about flyposting and have continued to do it.
At this late stage it is impossible to find an alternative venue and so it is with great regret we have had to cancel.
Once again sorry to those of you who were planning to attend
