On January 23rd (UK: January 26th) 2009, German alternative rockers the pussybats are to release their long-awaited debut album 'famous last songs' worldwide via Black Rain Records. It has been produced by Chai Deveraux (known as the guitarist of the industrial-glam-rock-band Jesus on Extasy) and Hahn&Hahn, a team which has already worked with acts like Nena, Kim Wilde and the Farmer Boys.
The first full-length album is one of the milestones in every young band's career. In this effect a lot of heart, soul, sweat and tears have been put into every aspect of the production. 'the most beautiful tales end sadly', for example, features not only a contrabass, but also a guest pianist and vocalist, Leandra. The songs as a whole are diverse – in between a goodbye kiss and a kick in the ass - but also follow a clear, straight line: emotions instead of academics, catchiness, rock'n'roll instead of arty gimmicks. Or, as the band themselves put it: "And even if we'd been struck by lightning the very next day, we'd have known that we'd put everything into that record we'd had to offer and left a legacy to be proud of! These could indeed be our 'famous last songs'.“
the pussybats want to give something special for their fans. So, by buying the record you'll also gain access to an exclusive website packed with bonus content. A new music video is in production and is going on air at the beginning of 2009 – the song 'your woman' is a cover of the mid 90ies hit from White Town.
