• hello friends
sorry its been such a long time since we last made contact. This has been through a combination of being busy on tour with other bands, home life, football, ……and making new music!

Yes, we have been in the studio this month to record some new tracks….well 2 actually. They will come out as a 7 inch single early in 2009, and we will start working on a new album in January.

We also plan to do alot of touring, starting with some shows in Iceland. More news will follow in 2009.

We would like to wish everyone a happy holiday and a healthy and musical 2009!

love
The Bent Moustache

THE BENT MOUSTACHE ON YOUTUBE
There has been a posting made by fan Vicky Barlow on Youtube of our show in Manchester at the Ruby Lounge on Monday 11 February 2008. The sound is a wee bit dodgy (Maaike’s vocal mic didn’t work in the first song), but the spirit remains intact.
Thanks for that Vicky.

tbm

the start of a big adventure. Haven’t hit the road with my own invention in years (actually it’s been a year…..but somehow this feels different then opening up for an established act). the butterfly stomach is a flutterin’. giddy with the thought of playing our music for a new public. never been so excited about playing as with this great squad. much ado about everything. there will be a daily noise bulletin on the weblog page. we look forward to your company at a show somewhere soon.
