season’s greetings,
I (Katie) sing on this charity Christmas single, penned by the band Hunks and performed by an assortment of musicians (from British bands and beyond). All proceeds go to the RSPCA so please download it, the critters of Britain will thank you. It’s a fun crimbo ditty, raging only against scrooges. And remember, in the words of my all-time-favourite-christmas-movie ‘it is the summer of the soul in December’.

oh and the cover (at the top of the page), is by the ever-splendid Sparky Deathcap.

Hello there, some news from Sky Larkin on what is definitely the coldest day so far this year (where we are, at least), and happily, the day we all came to accept Snowarama once again.
We’re excited to tell you that all t-shirts up on the Sky Larkin store have been reduced to a wonderful £5 each – and that’s almost perfect timing given the Wichita label have copied of ‘The Golden Spike’ for £5 as well. The timing obviously, is *perfect* for your late Christmas shopping for loved ones. Or yourself.
Be warned though; there’s VERY limited stock available on some of these, so it’s first come, first served.
Meanwhile, the band are stil up in their hometown of Leeds creating their second album which will be released in 2010! Keep up to date with the band on Twitter.
