We received an excellent mention for The Woggles TEMPO TANTRUM album in SPIN’s BEST OF 2009 issue.

“MY SECRET STASH”

“Three Gems You May Have Missed This Year”

“This mostly instrumental foray into surf, exotica, and Las Vegas grind by these Georgia garage-rock preservationists plays like the soundtrack to the best biker flick you’ve never seen.” – Doug Brod, SPIN

Tempo Tantrum, The Woggles' instrumental compilation is out now on Wicked Cool Records! Available as both a LP & CD, it includes rare and unreleased instrumental tracks (and one vocal number) from early material to newer recordings with the Flesh Hammer as lead string bender.

The regular CD package has 12 cuts and the LP has those 12 plus 2 bonus cuts! If you're adding that up, it comes to 14 tracks on the LP! But wait! There's more! Not only does the LP have 14 cuts, but the LP package also include a bonus CD that has 14 tracks too, so that you vinyl lovers can also upload to your ipods or some other fancy digital realm, when you can't carry your turntable with you.

Hey all you jet setters! When you're in Atlanta on a layover check out the Woggles while you chill with a drink! Chas, a very cool photographer in Atlanta, was commissioned to do a 2' x 25' photo-mural celebrating Georgia Music. The mural is in a new bar at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport called "Georgia Brown Juke Joint"  or just "Juke Joint," you can find it on Concourse D close to gate 26. There you'll find the Woggles in their live glory.

The end of Feb. and beginning of March found the Woggles overseas doing a series of nine shows in Spain! The tour was a blast and you can feast your eyes on some highlights here:

Upcoming Releases!
The Woggles have two songs appearing on Christmas A Go-Go, a Xmas Compilation due out this fall on Wicked Cool Records. The Woggles contributions, recorded at Jeff Bakos' Ampworks Studio in Atlanta, are an original tune called "Santa Is Coming (Ho Ho Ho)" and a version of Clarence Carter's "Back Door Santa." Other Wicked Cool Artists contributing cuts include the Boss Martians, the Maggots, the Chesterfield Kings, the Len Price 3 and the Cocktail Slippers.

Montague Memorial 7" Record. Back when the tracks for Ragged But Right were recorded there were a handful of songs that didn't get mixed/finished due to time constraints. Two of those were Montague songs and have since been mixed to be issued on Portland's Blood Red Vinyl & Disc. Shortly before his passing, Montague purchased a 1960 Ford Thunderbird. His ode to it is called "Go Go Thunderbird" and features Montague singing lead with backing vocals by Mary Huff (SCOTS) and Lady Fingers (Hillbilly Frankenstein). The other song is a Ramones-esque rocker about those hot looking radio DJs called "Radio Face."

For another Blood Red Vinyl release, the Woggles recorded a version of "Find It" from the Beyond the Valley of the Dolls soundtrack. The cut is for a compilation that Blood Red Vinyl is doing of songs that are featured in soundtracks. Their first volume, Mondo Drive In: Volume 1 was released to all sorts of critical acclaim.
