Oh yeah, I remember what I forgot to say.

Local Kid will be released on 22 September 2008. Go forth!



24 August
Well, the Hidden Agenda tour got off to a rip-roaring start here in Wellington on Friday night, despite the fact that we missed out on what would have been quite a spectacular encore because the DJ at Bodega started playing as soon as the band left the stage (the traditional "THIS IS OUT LAST SONG" fake-out...). THANKS DJ AT BODEGA. Your dead fish is in the mail.

Aside from that rather brutal turn of events, what Fur Patrol goodness we did see was really rather... good. Mr Thomas Watson joined them on stage to do his backing vocals on "All These Things" which may or may not have made me squeal in delight.

Most of Local Kid got a good seeing to and the crowd seemed to reek of delight.

I've got a few shitty photos if you're that way inclined.

Anyone else feel like sharing their tour pics, feel free to email them to me. You'll get karma points.

Julia has been featured as a pretty pretty person on Pretty Pretty Pretty.

Go, read, and find out what she has to say on matters of purtiness.

Wellington! In association with the Animal Hybrid Society of NZ (*cough*ratpony*cough*), we're pleased to present the dorkiest poster this side of your office staff room.

Pandacorn can be downloaded from this site and printed by your fine selves. It's then your duty to (perhaps after photocopying a few copies at work...) hang Pandacorn up in your office/cafe/construction site etc.

Bug everyone you know to come along to the gig. Pandacorn will be there. Look at how happy Fur Patrol makes him. Don't you want to be happy too?

Hell, it even works in black and white. Theoretically. Because nothing can dull that smile.

Hey, it's one step up from a crayon sketch...

ACTUALLY, why not just click this link... Radio New Zealand Fur Patrol stuff. So good. So great. Awesome.

Happy Birthday FRAN!



22 July
Thanks to Tricia, here's a link to a set Julia did of new songs on National Radio.

Enjoy!



19 July
We have liftoff. Or we have tour dates.
One or t'other.

Delight in the live goodness in a town near you

Keep your ears peeled for a new single on the radio very soon. And start saving up for the new album, out before you can say "Hey, let's all save up and buy Lisa a new copy of Pet as her CD got broken in the car..."!



25 June
Geeez, where have YOU been??

Fur Patrol have a new album coming out. It's called Local Kid (apparently my name suggestions were rejected? Hmmf.)

I don't know when it's out but I do know that it's very good.

And I also know that the first single has a very colourful and sharp video. Watch it.

I have absolutely no idea. Someone is doing something somewhere that will benefit us all in the long run.

I do know that Julia leant her voice to Samuel Flynn Scott's new album "Straight Answer Machine" on the track Stolen Egypt, and uh... Andrew has been moonlighting as the bassist for Cassette.



13 March
New Fur Patrol song available on Myspace!

Yep, you heard it here.. uh, probably 5th or so?

Head to Myspace to listen to "Great Leap Forward"

You wont be able to buy it, but you can request it on the radio. So do that.



15 February
Little bit of gossip...

The new Fur Patrol album (working title "Ratpony4Eva") will be produced by a plethora of talented people. Tony Cohen (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Powderfinger, Hunters and Collectors, Straightjacket Fits etc) will be at the helm, along with help from Tom Larkin, Jesse Booher and Mr Simon Braxton.

So ya know, it's all happening and that. Let's have a sexy party!



13 February
Hello there. Julia ever so kindly gave me an update of the aptly named 3rd Fur Patrol album Lisa is the best...

"I just posted off today a bunch of Furry songs for mastering. They're winging their way to Californ-i-a to become a whole album!!! Bless their little singy socks..."

She'll also be playing a little summin'summin' at Te Papa on 16 February at 8pm. It's free, so you have no excuse.



11 February
Not a lot to say. I took away a couple of the "features" of the site. See if you can spot the holes! Mainly it was just weird and out of date.

In Julia news... she's put out a song and video with Tiki Taane (of Salmonella Dub fame). The song appears on Tiki's album "Past Present Future" and is called Our Favourite Target.



It's pretty funky and different to what we're used to.

Check out Julia's MySpace for a taste of what she's been up to.
