About touring Europe, drummer Matthias Bossi says, "It is with great pleasure that we (bonny) louts announce our intention to tour Europe, wearing only hats. The European standard of ........ far exceeds that of America. Therefore it is with great glee that we embark on our first ever international rock and roll road show. We are louts!"
The band are currently recording parts for their as yet untitled first full-length for The End Records at Tiny Telephone studios in San Francisco, California with engineer/producer Joel Hamilton (THE BOOK OF KNOTS, SPARKLEHORSE, ELVIS COSTELLO, FRANK BLACK, UNSANE, BATTLE OF MICE, DUB TRIO).
The album is scheduled to surface sometime in early 2007.
