It seems that www.myspace.com/busstationloonies doesn't play the 2 songs it promised. No idea who set it up, but bless 'em, they dun it wrong anyway, back to our flapdoodle: the Bus Station Loonies .



12 years old and still wetting the bed



As any one living in Plymouth will wearily tell you, ThE bUs sTAtiOn LoOniEs didn't split-up, they just stopped playing anywhere else for a while.



Tony Popkids was juggling with 3 jobs and a couple of bananas and Chris "Felcher" Wheelie got all weak and frail, following the bands' insane but amusing world record attempt at the most gigs (25) played in 12 hours (they dun it). And so, he took to his bed for a while, rising only for the ocassional local gig.

Since that surreal and longest day of their lives, Fatlegs Hancock and Wild Johnny Klepto were replaced on guit and bass respectively, by a bevy of beauties including, no less than 3 Eastfield members (Jessi Fivestrings, Sam Ladiesman and Ben Dur), Goz (Oi Polloi/Disorder etc), Dirty Sanchez's "Dirty" Gav Sanchez, and Dick Lucas (Subhumans/Citizen Fish) making the (very) odd appearence boards.

Now, settled and happy, messers Popkids and Wheelie can proudly announce their successful union with Steve S.Punk (S Punk 3) and Angus Old (The Nowhere Inn). For the first time, Little Chrissy is the baby of the band.



A new album (with the emphasis on the second syllable) is to be recorded in Spring 2007 (yeah, right. maybe 2008). The first CD/LP (yup, we still got vinyl for all you diehards out there. less tracks but warmer sound) "Mad Frank's Zonal Disco" is still up for grabs, just ask 'em at www.ruptured-ambitions.freeservers.com It ain't listed, but that's 'cos they're, quite rightly, embarrassed to have it in stock and on their label. The new long-player will include such new delights as "Death By Wedgie", "Hippy Bollocks", "Wetting the Bed", "The Eye of the Beer Holder", "Sticks and Stones", "Cool Britannia Uber Alles", "Fancied By People", "Pie Fight" and "Up Yours, Suckers". plus, the obligatory ruined cover versions (although, we're thinking of improving upon a Disorder track, just to get our own back for their version of "Save Our Cider").



Late July/Early August 2007 will mayhap see the lads 'on the road' again, touring anywhere that'll have us. Any help, or offers we can't refuse, please get in touch via this site. For a real in-depth and long-winded history of The 'Loonies, take a peek at www.bus.station.loonies.00band.com but, it's not really worth it. Now, Chris's solo cheezy keyboard project, Harakiri Karaoke. that's another matter entirely.



New waffle!

The Second alBUM is done!!! Should be out by September 2008, entitled "Midget Gems", contains a measley 11 tracks, but every one little nugget: Down on the Farm/Fancied by People/Cool Britannia Uber Alles/Puppet life/Hippy Bollocks/Sicks and Stones/Rip Van Disney/The Ballad of Chasey lane/Pie Fight/Death by Wedgie/Up Yours, Suckers!

We'll pester the hell outa you when it's finally out, don't you fret.



Piss Off, Angus Old - it was a pleasure. Axe-God Angus has flown the cuckoo's nest to relocate in Thailand. However, we've not got shot of him yet and he'll be making a return 7th Sept 2008 at The Plymouth Punx Picnic. Meanwhile, we've already snaffled guitarist number 9 (oh yes) from Plymouth Puks DENADA, in the shape of the wonderful Chris Denada (don't worry, he'll soon ge a fitting loonies' name christened).
