CAPTAIN AND MONTY'S TRIBUTE TO SYD BARRETT...................

Go grab yourself a copy of the latest Mojo mag. Captain and Monty's whimsical version of Syd Barrett's "Octopus" is being given away fee on the front cover.

Don't forget you can check out Cap and Monty with cohorts Toad, Captain Barrington Whyte and Dave Berk live with Dr Spacetoad Experience at The Brunswick, Brighton, this Saturday 6th February.

Expect a Bohemian evening of psychedelic, punk, progged up misunderstood genius. You may even see Simon Cowell in attendance. He's a big fan, apparently.

NEW SHIRTS AVAILABLE ONLINE..........................

Thanks to everyone who placed orders for the old tour shirts for Xmas. It cleared quite a hole in the old Damned lockup.
Following on from the success of that little postal blitz, we offer you a really cool shirt based on the backdrop from the MotorDamned tour.
Head on over to Dottie Grim again to check out the goods.
You wanted a black shirt, so here it is, complete with full back print.
Available in Girly size as well as Mens medium to XL.
The girly large is around the same size as a mens small, so will be great for those pouting teenagers also.
These are strictly limited quantities and will all be gone after our dates in California in Feb, but you lot get the chance to get your hands on one first through the OD site.
Thanks  everyone
Pinch

TESTING,TESTING, 1212...........................................

if this Twit thing works I'll run it thru the Motorhead tour
as an tryout. If it's good enuf for Steven Fry and all that. It might be interesting for those who are coming to a show - to see what goes on behind the scenes, etc.

Personally, I'd have loved to find out what Brian Auger, Stray and The Groundhogs got up to on the way to a show a food fight at Watford Gap perhaps, van breakdown...... or getting pulled over by the Cops for a traffic infringement.

It's not all comfy sofas and champers backstage I can tell you.... all sorts of stuff drives bands round the bend on occasion during touring so I thought I might share some of it with y'all.

You want to know about Stu's unstoppable curry fetish, Pinch's latest gadget or just who Mr Vanian is listening to on his Ipod at the minute I'm sure.

I might even broach on the thorny subject of Monty's strange and occasionally quite antisocial habits if you're lucky!

Anyway, it'll be summat new for me to experiment with so if you're that way inclined come and Twitter away with THIS old Twit,

cheers - Cap

CAPTAIN'S ALL EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING. WE'LL LET HIM TAKE OVER SHALL WE...

Ladies and Gentlemen..... until now my wonderful 80s A+M albums have been
unavailable on CD but those lovely people at Cherry Red Records have plucked them out of obscurity and restored them to their former glory.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled so I've helped out with the sleeve notes and rummaged through my drawers for some fun photos from way back and I have to say that I am EXTREMELY happy with the results.

I've also added quite a few interesting bonus tracks - some of which are a trifle off the wall it has to be said (Damned on 45 anybody?) so, if you fancy hearing some of my 80s recordings with genius producer Tony Mansfield CLICK THE ALBUM COVER FOR DETAILS.

LIVE SHOWS VIA INTERNET - WIFI ACCESS
You'll be happy to know that we've managed to resurrect the live gig streams. Last night's show at Boston was streamed and made for fun viewing. Whenever we have wifi access at the gigs we will endeavour to stream the show live on ustream.tv. This will be sporadic and the quality can't be guaranteed but we feel it will be of interest to fans who can't make it to the show. We hope you enjoy!"
