RUUFIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In hibernation for a little while.

Hello friends!
Just felt like writing a little bloggy about why we're seemingly so inactive as of right now.
We are in fact, taking some time to get set for this summer and other plans we have made.
We're in the studio almost every day writing and crafting our songs we have/don't have yet for our three upcoming releases (Split 7", an experimental visual album, and the full length).
We're also preparing our music and equipment for the road this summer (TOUR!!!!), a summer we are very excited about.
We are working on getting our split 7" done (with sIngs) and figuring out the best way to press it.
We are working on re-pressing our first album "EPs" as we are running low on copies for the tour.
We are silk-screening tees for the tour and making a new design (hopefully).
I am trying to find/buy a new amp that will work for the whole tour and is mine.
We are trying to get Sean's Volvo Station Wagon fixed so it's road-worthy for the summer.
We are saving $$$ for the tour.
We are finalizing the dates/bands for the tour.
We are booking dates for after the tour in H-Town and our return to school.
We have jobs.
We are partying hard.
We have warrants out for murder/rape/treason/parking tickets.
My teeth still hurt.

In conclusion, we still love you and will visit you soon.

Love,
Chris

Riff Tiffs' "Festival/Snflwr" EP

Hello again, maybe it's the codeine I got for my wisdom teeth removal working, but today I decided to upload the most recent release, Festival/Snflwr EP, from our other (first ever!) band, RIff Tiffs. We've been in this band since 2004 and I am certain we, as Caddywhompus, wouldn't be doing anything remotely close to what we're doing now (musically and professionally) without the experience we gained during our time with this band. You can download it for FREE at our bandcamp page.



Check it out and help us spread the word if you wish.

If you're in Houston, check out our shows this May:
May 23rd at The Mink
Mat 29th at Mango's (w.Mynameisjohnmichael!)

PRAKTISE SPACE!!!!!!!

This is gonna totally rule. First practice space since February. Yes. We played all of our shows between March 1st and now without a practice space or many practices. Getting ready to write and record and get productive. But we might die in the process because.....




WE GOT MOLD!
or swine flu...

VOTE OR CRUNK OR DIE!

Check it, so our hometown of Houston is having it's yearly Houston Press Awards.

Thanks for supporting us and other musical Houstoners.

Chris' solo album release and other info

Today I (Chris) released my latest solo album on Bandcamp. It's called Four Drops/Pieces of Rain and it's available for a free download. I won't use this blog to talk about my solo work, so that's why i started another blog that is focused solely on releases and news such as this.

I also started a Twitter account for my solo work and you can follow me HERE.

Here's my Myspace if you want to check it out.

Join the facebook group if you want to get updates on news and whatnot.

Also, my first two full-length records are available on CD Baby and my second full length (What Had Happened Was) is on iTunes.

Hope all is good in the hood.

kisses,
chris
