OUT NOW: the pussybats - famous last songs
Today (UK: January 26th), 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.
the pussybats. roy rock (guitar), sid van sin (vocals, guitar), mike night (drums) and marple 8 (bass). Alternative rock. More precisely? Come on, anything is rock'n'roll somehow, isn't it? Shoudn't there be some emotion in everything? And aren't the most beautiful tales always the sad ones?
After listening to the debut album 'famous last songs', all those questions are obsolete anyway, you'll get drawn into the music without any chance to escape. That's the moment when you'll understand the album's title: Those are songs worth dying for! The four guys from Stuttgart have emancipated themselves from their influences - going from Johnny Cash to Placebo, the Backyard Babies and Motörhead – and finally found their very self, their own style and sound. Rock riffs, catchy melodies, emotion and melancholy melt into a soul-touching entity. Songs like a rollercoaster ride between a goodbye kiss and a kick in your ass. A voice that’s gonna haunt your dreams. And last but not least, thrilling live shows packed with loads of blood, sweat, tears and entertainment.
Starting in 2006, they already managed to gain some attention and gather a constantly growing fanbase – but now they're off to hit it big time. It hasn't been easy since and the real challanges are yet to come. However, the flame still burns, the will to keep going is stronger than ever.
The magic is on – so let the show begin!
