Okay, a bit of sensible stuff first. Cassetteboy have a new album out. It's called CARRY ON BREATHING, and you can buy it here:



There's a link to the shop near the top of the page that will open when you click here (complicated huh?)



Lastly, we're terrible at replying to messages. Like, really awful. So don't be offended if we don't get back to you. Sorry.



Righto, on with the nonsense.



Cassetteboy are twin brothers Mark (31) and Steve (29). They began collecting audio material while they were still in their mother's womb, using a rare in utero TEAC tape deck. Sadly much of this material was rubbish, being mainly the sound of digesting food and unspecified gurgles. To be honest it wasn't really worth the effort, though a few seconds of the noise did appear on their debut album The Parker Tapes (I think it's just after someone off the telly says the word "computer").



School was a tough time for Mark and Steve. They were often bullied, as although one of them was a boy, the other was of course a cassette, and you know what kids are like, they'll pick on the smallest differences. Things weren't helped by the fact that they were growing up in Chelmsford, Essex, which is shit.



It was shortly after this that Mark and Steve found international fame. It was just lying there, in the very first place they looked. All they had to do was obsessively record every bit of TV and radio they could lay their hands on, painstakingly re-edit it and then prance about like a couple of tits in front of hundreds of people.



Thinking about it, I've never actually seen a couple of tits prancing about, but I'd certainly like to. If you've got two or more tits that prance about, please get in touch.
