Hola amigos!! Sorry, I slipped into Spanish for a moment there in honour of our new song "El Bubblino". It's a slice of crazy Mexican rock celebrating Bubblino, the lovable bubble blowing robot created by inventor and good friend Adrian McEwen. He watches Twitter and blows bubbles when certain things come up, he's a popular fixture at many geeky events. A while back I had the crazy idea that he should have a Mexican cousin called El Bubblino. It wasn't long before I was trying to write a vaguely Mexican sounding song to promote this and now you can hear the results. It's become a lot heavier since we started jamming the tune in practise but I'm really happy with the end product. We recorded this a few weeks ago at our Wally Rd Studio in Wallasey. It's exactly 2 minutes long but there's a lot packed in. As Flight Of The Conchords famously sang "2 minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven" hehehe :)

I've created an EP you can purchase from Bandcamp with this single in higher audio quality and some other treats. These free downloads are 160kbps which is perfectly listenable and good but you'll have to head over to Bandcamp if you want more sorry, you can name your price. Believe it or not many people have asked us how they can contribute money and this way you get something cool in return. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported us so far, we really appreciate it.

Now go off and play this song LOUD, drink too much tequila and perhaps go loco. It's Christmas after all. Enjoy!

[edit] Having actually listened, it's got less of a Mexican sound to it than I expected. Not bad, just unexpected. But it does have plenty of similarity to Jimmy Carter, a 20lb sound that's very important for someone to remember a band...
