New Woggles 7″ FLESH HAMMER is available August 29, 2022! Wicked Cool Records is releasing the new Woggles 7″ FLESH HAMMER on the late Jeff Walls’ birthday. Born August 29, 1956, he would have been 66 this year. To celebrate his legacy, Pat Beers, the guitarist in the Schizophonics, wrote the song in tribute to the late Woggles’ band member. The rest of the band joined Pat at Dave Klein Recording in LA in June of 2021 to record both FLESH HAMMER and THE WITCH, the latter being a cover of the Rattles song, “The Witch.” Jim Stacy did the artwork and Scott Sugiuchi the layout. You can get your copy of the 7″ here: https://thewoggles.bandcamp.com/

The Woggles will rock this year’s Athfest on Saturday June 25 at the world famous 40 Watt Club, in downtown Athens GA. We’ll play with the Pylon Reenactment Society and Maserati! Our first gig ever was at the 40 Watt in January of 1988! Get your tickets early https://bit.ly/AthFestWattJune25

From Little Steven’s Underground Garage: Thank you for your early support of The Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Sea Cruise. We do not take lightly that many of you have trusted us to bring you a unique and special holiday. After much deliberation, we want to give fans more time to plan this special music festival at sea vacation and will be postponing The Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Sea Cruise to Summer of 2023. We will be sharing new dates and updated lineup in the near future.
All of us involved in creating this event firmly believe it will be a holiday worth the wait. We appreciate your understanding and can guarantee that you will be the first to hear about future plans for The Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Sea Cruise.
We look forward to when we can unite together when the timing is right.
-Your friends at Little Steven’s Underground Garage & Sixthman

A-side is “Nothing More To Say”, written by Buzz Hagstrom and B-side is a rare Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil tune, “Sweet Freedom”! The songs were recorded this past February at Renegade Studios in NYC and engineered by Geoff Sanoff. Scott Sugiuchi did the artwork. There are only 300 copies and on red vinyl!

Here’s hoping that all are healthy and safe among our friends and families! The Woggles are following all CDC recommendations and are even social distancing from one another by being in different cities! Well . . .we do live in different cities, so that hasn’t been too difficult.

Pictured here is Little Steven from last February, when The Woggles recorded with him on guitar, for a two song single/7” that is still on track to come out the end of June on Wicked Cool Records.

The plan for the rest of the year was to continue recording a new album with different guitar player pals of ours. We’ve worked up a bunch of new tunes with the help of Shane Pringle of @Tiger! Tiger! and will record with him, as well as Pat Beers (The Schizophonics), Peter Greenberg (Barrence Whitfield & The Savages, Lyres, DMZ) and Graham Day (The Prisoners & Solar Flares). Just when those recording sessions will take place now is a bit up in the air, given current circumstances, but that’s the plan, and whenever we get on the other side on things, we’ll get back on track!
