Shakin up that Laffy Taffy


This Saturday, April 4th, on our way home to Houston for the break, we're headed to one of our favorite places, Lafayette.
In that wonderous town we'll be hitting up the hippest cafe in the urreah, Cafe Cottage.
In that wonderous cottage, we'll be playing with three of the hippest bands around: Wild Moccasins, Lisa's Sons, and local favorite, Kid Midi.
Come out at 10 pm to catch all the action.
Not to be redundant or anything...

Facebook group SPLIT!

If you live in the LONE STAR STATE and you were a part of the facebook group to begin with, you're all gravy. The original group is now the TEXAN CADDYWHOMPUS VICTIMS group. If you are from Texas and want to join, it's all here baby.

If you are from LOUISIANA and want to keep up to date with happenings there, JOIN THIS NEW GROUP!

No more irrelevant event invites or messages!

If you are from neither area, pick your poison as both will be updated with universally relevant news about the band.

Hope this makes things a little easier and pertinent to you.

Love,
Caddywhompus

Thanks

Thanks so much to everyone who came out on monday to our cd release show. Extra thanks to those who grabbed the cd. Double thanks to those who stayed for the whole show. Extra special super thanks to The Antlers, Motel Motel, and Antenna Inn, you all made the show everything we wished it could have been and more. We can't thank you all enough.

I'm at a rest stop on the way to sxsw right now (free wifi!) and haven't slept since sunday night (4 full hrs of it!), so I'm sorry for not having a picture for this post. Too sleepy. It's weird playing 2 shows in 2 days and not sleeping between them. Physically drained and all I want to do is bang screw.

SXSW dates:
Wednesday @ Snake Eyes Vinyl at 5pm
Friday @ Trophy's at 7pm

Thank you


Thanks to everyone who came out last night to the Hi Ho in support of the New Orleans Indie Rock Collective and their team of wonderful musicians. We hope you had a great night and are planning to go to the next two nights' shows where even more crazy stuff will surely go down. Hopefully you picked up a sampler CD last night or are planning to pick one up tonight/tomorrow night, as it is imperative to your health. Once again, thank you all so much for coming out. We love our New Orleanians. See you at our CD Release show on March 16 at the Saturn Bar!
