7th February 2007: ...Nutin' much
No update this month sadly, cos our equipment is in for repair. We'll hopefully be getting some new recording gear in at the end of this month and then we'll start recording our super-demo to end all demos as soon as we figure out how to connect it all up and get the little red light to come on.
4th January 2007: ...Happy new year!
New songs on the Sounds page! We'll be uploading new stuff every month from now on!
21st November 2006: ...2006 Line up = Kaput...
Sorry for the lack of info recently. Not a whole lot to report. As some of you might already know, we are drummerless once again, it turns out the new drummer didnt kick quite as much arse as we first thought. The summer gigs were mostly fun (Cept for the 1st Cartoon show!!) but a bit premature to say the least. We were really keen to get out there and start gigging again, but in our mad haste we ended up picking the wrong guy & the gigs were quite a mess.
Jamies also leaving, things werent really working out, we're still homies but our musical tastes and priorities (musical and otherwise) have changed since we last played together in '99 and hes more focussed on his own band Shihtzu Love these days. I'll hopefully be back with an all new line up at some point next year. Thanks to everyone who gave us support this year and who still cares.
Also theres a cool little update on the Gigs page. This part of the site will get regular updates once we start playing again and there should be loads of Videos, Mp3s and fun bits and bobs to look at after each gig.
16th September 2006: ...Small update...
The major overhaul isnt quite ready yet but we have 2 new videos up Youtube from our gig at the Swan the other night!
Also, we have a myspace page up which has a couple of MP3s and some recent pictures to keep you going till this place gets revamped in the next week or 2:
3rd September 2006: ...You dead mon?...
Yeah mon. Hey we're back. Sorry this place has been so inactive, took little longer than expected to dust off the rock. Anyway, we're gonna be updating this regularly & properly now. We have some new songs which will be up soon and we'll be posting mp3s and videos after each gig too. Also we have a new drummer who kicks a pretty large amount of arse. Check back soon!
11th March 2005: ...So, long time, no boom boom...
Yup, its been a while. A damn long while...
100% Cotton orignally formed in November 1998 and after a brief flurry of activity, fizzled out almost instantly by the summer of '99. If you werent there, dont worry you didnt miss much! A couple of bad gigs and a rusty demo tape. The band never split up as such but spent the next 5 years in varying degrees of inactiveness, ranging from "total" to "pretty much". This page has been around since '98 and has been floating staticly through cyberspace since then with updates and news both pretty few and far between. So...
"What the fookin hell has the band been doing for the past 5 years?"
Well i'm alive and well and I havn't just been sitting on my arse watching Friends videos the whole time I'll have you know. The problem started back in 1999. It was a warm bright day in October....That's about all I can remember actually....Oh yes...Original drummer Davinder had left the band to concentrate on his Iron tablet addiction (Err...just kiddin'...I hope!), and original bassist Jamie had quit the band to form a new project called 'Righteous Man'. I found myself in a bit of a tricky situation because all of a sudden, I was the only person left in the band....In time, I became more and more depressed, and in the end, after months with no hope of finding any new band members, I decided to take the easy way out.....
I went to my mate Trevors house and purchased a frankly ludicrous amount of hard drugs which I consumed all in that evening while watching Countdown and Neighbours. I took 2 LSDs, 16 specially-time-capsuled-1989-original-strength-E's, 2 and a half (ish) lines of Coke, 4 portions of (not so) 'Funny' Jelly, 1 extra large Marley (filled with the best Thornton Heath super-skunk money can buy), and then I washed it down with 2 glasses of Blackcurrent Ribeana (extra strong)...........I woke up 4 years later at the wheel of a Mini Metro half way down the M6 with H and Lee from Steps in the back and Rich from 5ive in the front, playing a motorway-service-stop version of Scrabble; But Rich had taken out all the letter A's to make it more interesting. Unable to beat the fiesty fellow, I waited untill H needed to use the little boys room at the next sevice station and then I made a rather swift exit, leaving the over-educated bastards stranded in Gloustershire!!!
When I got home it dawned on me that someone upstairs had given me a second chance - Vanilla Ice style - and I had to get the band going again. That was back in December of 2004, and since then quite a lot has happened. But anyway, we still play all the old songs and theres a whole bunch of new ones that weren't invented back then.
So seriously, where have we been for the last 5 years? Well, nowhere much really, but we're back now and all proverbial cyclinders are firing strongly, our oils been changed and theres a full tank of gas to burn. The site will be updated weekly with new songs and other stuff and we should start playing gigs in the next few months. Im excited! Watch this space!
So sit back, grab a light beverage, tell your better half that your train got cancelled and make your way over to the sounds page and get groovin to some extreme & uncencored wickedness of the aural variety.
