Cold Pumas have fully awoken from our collective slumber and are now thawing our ragged, pathetic frames in preparation for our next public demonstration of ‘Global Hypercolor In The Form Of Music’. This pretty much involves us jumping up and down on the spot, gurning and glaring at each other with a twisted look of panic / confusion / love.
First up we’re playing at The Lexington in London on Friday 29 January with So So Modern and Wild Palms. You can order tickets here. The Lexington has a delicious array of exotic beverages and we’re on first so this pretty much equals a party.
Second up we’re playing with our good buddies Fair Ohs, the pretty-much-all-his-songs-are-amazing Spectrals and Nephu Huzzband at The Chameleon in Nottingham on Saturday 30 January. There’s some details for this show on Facebook. Two day tour. We’re probably gonna get nosebleeds and start wimpering for the cool breeze of the South coast. Come say hi at the shows, we will have the last few remaining copies of our split with Male Bonding which has sold out everywhere else now.
We recorded some songs late last year, they are coming out soon. More news on that in the near future. YE OL MOTHA NAN.
Like a grotesque, diseased behemoth, we awake from deep hibernation this monday 11/01/10 at Brighton anarcho-punk hangout The Cowley Club, with a delightful Sex Is Disgusting affair with Brooklyn enigma GARY WAR and COLOURS
More information here Marking yourself as attending will not gain you cheaper entry, but it will make you REALLY KOOL, even if you have no intention of actually turning up.
THEN on wednesday 13/01/10 we play this joy-filled spectacle here: a Tatty Seaside Town / Upset! The Rhythm show with BIRD NAMES + THE STICKS + TRASH KIT
at the ill-named but deceptively good Hector’s House in Brighton.
We have some new songs, which we will precede to play really badly. COME! And come early (8pm) as we’re on first both shows.
‘Proof Of Man’ video shot and edited by me.
Our buddy Dan Nixon made a video for us for our ode to bouncing on the spot - ‘Jela’. You can order it on 12” vinyl here. In other news we have been to record some new songs, 2 of which will be released on a 7” early next year and another will feature on a bodacious London / Brighton Dude Culture™ vinyl compilation featuring all of our flanneled buddies. More news on that stuff soon. We moved in to a new rehearsal space too, there was a copy of Future Music in there. Definitely a good sign.
Hungry For Power are releasing a 12” for us which will feature ‘Jela’ and ‘A Tempting Haunt’ as well as remixes on the flip side by Brassica and Murlo. The artwork (back cover above) was put together by our buddy James Nascent and it looks pretty sweet in a bleak, ominous, impending doom kinda way. Which is cool. We’re waiting on test pressings at the moment, it’s due out later this month but if you want to pre-order it you can do so HERE.
What does Cold Pumas sound / look like when processed via several sheets of tin foil, listened to through aluminium ear plugs, and seen in the lukewarm light (filtered courtesy of a canvas tent) of day? Probably something like this.
