Four trashy tunes recorded in a one-afternoon-session at the Larsen Studio in April 2004 during our French tour by Djan and mixed by Teen Axel of the Slow Slushy Boys. There are the last recordings with our previous line-up and you might understand why we've got a new one, ha ha! You can already listen to one track in our mp3 section before you buy it or not. But be quick: limited at 500 pieces only!!!

Oct 22nd, 2005 Music back in stock in the mp3 section!

CW!WebRadio New on October 7th: Graf Zeppelin, Sohail Rhana, The Link Quartet, The Dovers, Lederhosen Lucil, The Bittersweets, Black Lips.

2nd studio session is planned on November 12th and 13th at the Burning Ears Studio's again with another 8-10 brand new songs.

Studio feedback: We've live-recorded 9 songs (8 originals: Can't make you mine, 20", Il Tu Je, Smith&Wesson, You're a fake, La Languedocienne, Make you cry, Black Guards - and 1 cover: Justine) on Saturday at the Burning Ears Studio and did the rest on Sunday. It seems that everybody digs it! Second part will follow in November, then the mix and perhaps the new LP some day...

Unbelievable but true: despite the pure chaos currently haunting the region of Düsseldorf, Solingen and Cologne, CW! is more living than ever and studio is booked for the first weekend of September (and we've made plenty of ultra moody new songs!...) So may be you'll finally get the new LP in your hands some day... Specialists pretend "It will be no comparison to the first LP or singles we know from them: with a complete new line-up since one year and completely different, absolutely asskicking songs to drive your girlfriend cry and more girls fall into your arms. Handkerchief guaranteed for some, more energy than one can stand for others! All these tunes (hits) probably won't get out of your head!!!" Thanks to the specialists...

CW!WebRadio New on August 28th: Downliners Sect, The Remains, We The People as well as some real fantastic obscure and moody surprises you'll probably find nowhere else, thanks Geri's (The Bluebirds, The Idols, Nelli Manou, The Vikings, The Girls and The Juniors) and Beatmike's (The Tigermen, The Lazy Eggs, The Underdogs, Black Watch, Mick & The Shambles, Kings Ransom, Yesterday's Children and Pleasure Seekers) record collections!!!

March 28th: Curlee Wurlee! played in Hamburg on Friday. It seems that they were still terrorising the town on Sunday, since a member has been recognised in the very early morning, fully naked in a service station, ordering boozed refreshment. Various residents reported having found unknown socks in their house as they woke up and a completely burst mattress was discovered in the street. Someone was seen with a cardboard box on his head and a complete district was raving under northwest beats. Local police officers are still investigating...
