Someone’s put up a YouTube video of us doing Second Shot at the Sao Paulo show. Not great quality, but worth seeing. What a great show that was! More pics and videos coming later…
Signing @ Soulshadow
Last night we had an excellent time at Sao Paulo’s best indie record store: Soulshadow… Pics below, or watch a short video clip from the session.

Soulshadow today!
Looks like we’ll be at Soulshadow record store this evening (Wednesday). Anyone in Sao Paulo who would like to meet us – please come along and say hello! Also we’re having a party tomorrow night (Thursday) let us know if you want to come! More info later…
CX on eMusic
Wetware & the Twice As Good EP are now also available via eMusic. This is the music download service we use ourselves – it’s all independent stuff, no DRM, good quality MP3 files. If you’re looking to download our stuff, this is a good place.
We also spent most of last week in the studio preparing some other stuff. More info on that coming up shortly…
CX on Napster
The first download site to offer the Wetware album and the Twice As Good EP is Napster! If you’ve got a Napster account already, go get them today… Within the next few weeks they will also be available on other download sites such as eMusic and iTunes as well, so if you use one of those sites, wait for that.

Downloads coming…
Up until now most of our records haven’t been available for download anywhere. That’s been deliberate, since we don’t approve of the restrictive Digital Restriction Management used by most download sites, or of their payment policies. However that’s about to change… We’re currently uploading Wetware, the Twice As Good EP, and Rodney’s Sun God album to several different sites. Within the next few weeks you should be able to get hold of them from eMusic, Amazon MP3, iTunes, and elsewhere. We’ll let you know when they appear on each site, it usually takes a few weeks after we sign the deal for them to be released to the public. Hopefully you’ll be able to download them for Xmas!
For those that have been looking for the earlier albums… more info about those coming shortly.
Whitby review
Got back from Whitby last night, after a long and fun-filled weekend…
Got up early on Friday to finish packing our gear. Poor Volker had to get up at 3.30am to get a plane from Hamburg to Manchester. Andy picked him up there at some ungodly hour while the rest of us hit the road to Whitby. It’s a lovely drive out to there, I love the North Yorkshire moors. We arrived around 12.30, well in advance of the 13.00 load-in time. Unfortunately soundcheck didn’t then start until after 15.00, so we mooched around for a bit at the Pavilion just taking in the vibe.
The PA was very harsh in the mid-range, leading Bob to have to do some serious EQ-ing on the desk, but we got it sounding half-decent. Monitoring was a bit of a pain, but we’ve had worse there too. So we got it all sounding ok and headed off for our hotel in the delightful village of Robin Hood’s Bay to try to get a little sleep before the show. Unfortunately in my room the heating was broken (do we see a pattern here?). This time it was jammed full on, so the place was like a sauna, even with all the windows fully open. I managed to get an hour’s nap, then we headed back to the show.
Got onstage just after 23.00 and I think we rocked out. Felt like a bit of an uphill struggle though, it’s always so hard when we play in the UK. People seemed to really like it, though English Goths don’t tend to jump around much.
We ended up queuing for (not very good) pizza at about 3 in the morning, then headed back to hit the sack.
Next stop: Brazil!
