Cookie's Records

Well, it's been a cracking year. From just about finishing our albums for our launch back in March, through various band personnel changes, illnesses, marriages, divorces, car crashes, wild full band gigs (The Claremont), quiet intimate acoustic gigs (Vic's Buskers) and utterly bizarre gigs (Burlesque Gorefest, Bristol) - we would like to say a big THANK YOU to all you who have supported us in 2008. We really hope we'll see more of you in 2009 while we go from strength to strength.

Dear all, due to the success of the 'acoustic' Julia K set (I know, it's still loud!), yep, you guessed it, we're doing more of them.

Amd to add to the wonderful new backing vocalist we've acquired (Hi Lucy!), Andy has also apparently acquired a 'hybrid guitar'. What on earth is this I hear you cry? Well... it's apparently an electric that's had an acoustic pickup inserted into its nether regions, so it picks up like an acoustic when plugged in... strange and mysterious, yes? Well - that's what you get when you come to a Julia K gig... :S

Just a quick reminder that we're at the Propaganda bar in Fleet on Sunday 27th, as a little scaled down acoustic set up - this involves just me, Andy, some guitars and our new ready, willing and very able Lucy on dep bvs (cor I dunno, these backing vocalists that go off and get married and go on honeymoons and things, so selfish!)

So - come along, whoop, cheer, sing along and keep the beat for us! (or bassline, if you're a proper smart *ss muso :) ) see you there! Julia K x

As you may have noticed, the Cookies crew have been laying low for a few weeks, getting summer holidays, obligations and marriages out of the way! (Jules and Barry will be tying the knot next Saturday 12th July!!)

We'll be back in force from the beginning of September onwards, so keep your eye on the gig list.

Cookie's second release is now all pressed up and ready for you to buy - it's not yet in the shops but will be soon... get your hands on a copy before everyone else. The Rocktastic Julia K has poured her soul all over this debut album, mixed it all up with classic Rock Instrumentation, taken one finely-aged Producer (not too mature, just ripe and spicy) and baked the whole shebang into a top-quality Rock Bun. Go get it Here!

Yes! It's finally arrived in all its glory. You can buy it direct from us or alternatively on iTunes, amazon.co.uk and HMV digital amongst others. The album has already started collecting some excellent reviews on Amazon. "From the catchy opening track, 29 Years, to the hauntingly beautiful Siren, this album is diverse both in its subject matter and musical influences." Listen and enjoy!
