MTV Likes Us!
December 4, 2007

So this is pretty cool that we were mentioned. MTV did an end of the year Top 10 list and they have a wizard rock list!

1. Switchblade Kittens
2. Harry and the Potters
3. The Parselmouths
4. The Remus Lupins
5. Ministry of Magic
6. Draco and the Malfoys
7. The Moaning Myrtles
8. Catchlove
9. The Owl Post
10. The Whomping Willows

I’m not a fan of the whole ranking thing and they obviously know almost nothing about wizard rock, but it’s nice of them to put us on the list. Here are my thoughts on the subject:

It’s for a good cause. It’s a holiday gift and a holiday good deed, all rolled into one. And it’s now available for pre-order.

August 27, 2007

Hey guys! Just writing to let you know that our CD, Toilet Humor, is back in stock! So if you’ve ordered it recently, you should get it soon. And if you’ve been holding off buying one and you order it soon, you’ll get it faster than our other ones have been going out because I’m not on tour, vacation, or sold out. Yay! The PayPal links are on our MySpace profile.

Also, we have HUGE news! We’ll be playing at Portus 2008, the Harry Potter conference in Dallas, Texas next summer! We’re playing a big show with The Mudbloods (one of my new favorite wrock bands!!!) on July 10th and we’ll have common room performances for the rest of the conference. Catchlove and The Owl Post will be there as well, and maybe even some others! It’s going to be an absolute blast so check out their website to register.
