From MJ Hibbett's newsletter comes the following EXCITING news!

"Yes, "Hey Hey 64K" - we're UPGRADING it! I'm currently writing the lyrics for this new version of the song, which we're going to record on April 9th. The full story is as follows: I was contacted by a chap from a toy company who make joysticks loaded up with Commodore 64 games who wanted to use "Hey Hey 16K" to advertise it. I was a bit wary about this, as it seemed like we'd be CA$HING IN on all the goodwill from that song for the sake of a product which, really, it has little to do with. So instead of that we're going to RE-DO it in a way that a number of people have asked for over the years, get Mr Rob Manuel Of B3ta involved to make it a Whole New Thing, and hopefully make it into a thing of BEAUTY.

The plan is to release the single "Better Things To Do/Hey Hey 64K" (with "The other Rush Hour" and "Leave My Brother Alone" as b-sides and still with the six "Zipcodes" songs on the multimedia) in late June and then follow that up a couple of weeks later with the album, "WE VALIDATE!". We've got distribution sorted out now through the very nice people at Proper Distribution so it'll be available on Amazon and, in theory at least, in the shops (you'll probably have to get them order it for you there though), and we're planning to go on a full TOUR around July 21st. We're going as a BAND this time, which is rather exciting, and we're hoping to visit a bunch of places we've not been to before - more news next time!"
