Hello!

It's been quite a while since the last posting! Things are starting to happen at TQR&R, so I thought it was a good time for an update...

:::::::::THE HISSYFITS TOUR + CD INFO:::::::::::::::::::::::

The very first (and at this point the only) band signed to TQR&R, THE HISSYFITS will be on tour this summer! The tour starts may 24 in Baltimore, MD, and will take them all across the country 'til June 17th. (Tour dates are listed at the end of this email.)

They'll also be at the LadyFest East Benefit, Sunday, May 20, 2001 at The Knitting Factory in New York City... (oh you lucky New Yorkers you!...)

ALSO, their very first full length cd, Letters From Frank, will hit the store July 4th, but you can get yours earlier directly from the band at one of their live gigs!

:::::::::THE PATTY DUKE FANZINE #3:::::::::::::::::::::::

The PDFZ 3 has been.... DELAYED! The pressing plant is taking longer than expected getting the vinyl done! I'm hoping it will finally be ready sometime in June. It features:

        The Chubbies -"Patty's Theme"
   The Hissyfits - "Say Something Funny"
   Slumber Party - "One Kiss Away"
Tourister - "Funny Little Butterflies"
  Gore Gore Girls - "Don't Just Stand There"
      The Beautys - "A Girl Is A Girl"

        Bidston Moss - "All I Have To Do Is Dream"
