The Boston Herald

Fans worldwide were shocked at the news of Woof Woof's singer/ songwriter Frankie "Whale" Carbone's decision to join a monastery (ashram?) in California late last month. "Political enemas" and "Epoxy Problems" were cited as the reason behind the move. Sparkles, lead guitarist and seamstress for the band, remarked, "I understand Frank has to do what fulfills him spiritually, and I am behind him 100 percent, but I am heartbroken about the missing tuna." (The tuna reference was explained in a video released by the band early in the week.) Drummer Rasputin Ovaltine©, when reached by clairvoyant, was quoted as saying "Hey, tomorrow today will be yesterday." Mr. Ovaltine is currently in the studio with his new band "Amish Meth Lab" recording their new CD release, "The Doomsday Machine Repairmen." Kevin Toye, bass player and resident Martian, said "I have never been associated with a group of Zeros so inept, yet attached and removed at the same time." Mr. Toy's current projects include "Baloney Overdose" and "The Lateral Shrapnel Cadaver Trio." The manager and stationary engineer of Woof Woof, Michael Schweigenhoofendowser, was quoted as saying "When this band finally gets their act together, they will make Motorhead look like the Beach Boys on ecstasy."

Attempts to reach the bands record label, Impervious Digital, proved negative, although a doorman at the facility was quoted assaying that "The band had been by to pick up their shoes and toiletries, and appeared agitated and zenlike at the same time."
It seems that only time, booze, and patience will finally answer the age- old questions that remain of this rock n roll conundrum that we call W O O F W O O F.

Woof Woof C.D. Release Widely Anticipated

Once again the underground/ Indie Label community is abuzz with rumors of the release of the latest recordings by Woof Woof, New York City's only four piece Acid Jazz/ Polka trio. Initial reports stated that after the band recorded four new tracks in the Breakdown Records Recording Studio and Franchised Opium Den in Queens, N.Y., they broke up for a total of seventeen minutes in order for three of the four members to release their solo project CD's and get back in time for pizza.

Nick Rowe, producer and Engineer for the sessions was quoted as saying: " My head hurts...These guys make Motley Crue look like Danny Partridge."

The tracks included:
"That Car Is Goin Down", a lofty ballad about a simian covered in grease trying
his best to diagnose a bad crankshaft sensor.
"Tiltin Milton" An up-tempo ditty about a boy named Milton and his pink balloon covered in mayonaisse.
"A.D.D.", a song written about a common affliction
within the Woof Woof camp, and finally:
"Feedbag", a love song so touching that after hearing it, anything but
self immolation would be anti-climactic.

A video for the single "A.D.D." was filmed and edited by famed German film producer
and Woof Woof fan, Shitzon Pappy, and can be viewed on YOUTUBE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUV2ppw402U or at the Woof Woof Footage link right here!

John Neubauer, writer for the Boston Underground Music and Steak Review, said: " This cluster of rock n roll nuggets are what the indie scene needs right now. A collection so honest you can't help but break out the aluminum foil deflector beanie."

Tentative names for the up-coming CD and DVD are "Doomsday Machine Repairmen", "Fig Nuetrons" and "Wretched Geek and the Botched Attempt at Ape Reason".

Several New York City Shows and plans for an up-coming tour were temporarily cancelled due to n"Medical reasons", so said Wolfie Shineowitz, Woof Woof's manager. Rumors flowed that frontman Frankie Whale Carbone was entering rehab for his origami and sushi addiction, while bassist Kevin Toye and Guitarist Tony "Sparkles" Contos were attending an anger management boot camp in upstate New York at the Hostile Hostel. It was further rumored that Rasputin Ovaltine, drummer and driver of the the Woof Woof Winnebego, suffered severe shoulder injuries during a bizarre night time gardening accident, and is undergoing surgery early next week. Reports that Woof Woof would change their name to "Dead Arm Dick the Monostick" were un-confirmed.

WHALE

New York Music Scene Herald, January 20, 2010

The musical community was administered an enema of sorts yesterday when New York based rock act WOOF WOOF headed into the studio to begin work on their new C.D. tentatively and appropriately titled " Tao Jones and the Pickled Punks". West Coast engineer extrordinaire Nick Rowe worked tirelessly at the mixing board for the project, and reportedly kept the normally unruly and boozey band in order with frequent and strategically placed "Production Meetings". Bassist Kevin Toye was said to be drinking coffee imported from Jersey City in a wooden cup. Drummer Rasputin Ovaltine and guitarist Tony Sparkles practiced Greco-Roman oil wrestling and beat each other with celery stalks in between takes to stay focused and keep the creative "Juices flowing". Mr. Sparkles was quoted as saying: "I have not felt this pumped since I actually wore pumps at that L.A. party... I needed a ride". WOOF WOOF's reputation is that of a band to do things full out, so so instead of breaking for lunch, the band actually broke up for 3 hours to have a pint and a pizza in separate rooms. Frontman singer / song writer/ guitarist / seamstress Frankie "Whale "Carbone stated that "When the band gets back together after lunch ,we will be reborn with a train wreck-like efficiency." The band re-formed after lunch as "Baloney Overdose", and then re-reformed after an additional 7 minute hiatus as "Rat Zass and the Salami Shrapnel". Subsequent reports stated that the band is again going under the name WOOF WOOF, however Rasputin has legally changed his name to "Horowitz Lavender".

Recording and mixing resumes today in the Queens studio, The Breakdown Records Requiem and Recording Ratskeller, hailed in the industry as the best recording studio to be flooded out 3 times in 4 months. Ironically, WOOF WOOF boasts the fact that they are the "best jazz post -apocolyptic 4-piece trio on the Eastern Seaboard". The media was turned away from the sessions for the most part, but certain journalists were allowed within the secret fold and sanctuary of the WOOF WOOF cave to retrieve information. Michael Schweiger, of the Young Dung Press, was given access to the sessions, and reported that the mindset of the band within the studio was focused, yet jovial. Sort of like a circus clown defusing a bomb.

The band has released a list of the work in progress so far, and the tunes include "A.D.D.", a tune dealing with a common affliction within the band, "Tiltin Milton", a biographical ditty plotting the crucial points in time during a man's spiritual journey through a funhouse, "That Car is Goin' Down", a machine-gun like assault on one's senses that gives you the feeling that maybe you should have worn your boots, and "Feedbag", a love song so moving that it makes you want to send flowers to yourself and then burn them in the yard. According to reports, the band has purchased a sunken tugboat called the "Philip T. Feeney", a 117 year-old steam powered tugboat that sank in 1993. They plan on raising it, re-conditioning it, and upon completion of the up-coming Compact Disk, being the first band to do a tugboat tour.
