March 19th 2006 Molecules release their first Elecronic single
The Molecules have finally released a new double B-side single: 'March19th' and 'Shine'. This is their first all electronic single, and is currently being showcased at www.mp3unsigned.com. Dave composed the tracks using a keyboard with faulty keys connected to the fabulous Reason programme..version 3.0 with the bugs left in. He was quoted as telling Producer Ryan Beno "Less is more" and that he was inspired to write the music by using hardware and software that could potentially implode at any point. Johnny made a mysterious appearance in the virtual studio, but only at the point when everyone else had left to go to the pub. |

The Molecules have resorted to brew their own, and new Strange Fates G-Clamp Ale will soon be on the market to help promote the single. |

During Live 8 The Molecules recently got together to make progress on Ich Bin Ein Machine. Recording stopped and started depending which band was on TV.

July 21st 2005 Technical Problems Hold Up Forthcoming Bouski Album:
And.D's infamous digital drumkit had recently been acting up. It started playing it's own solos during performances and a cymbal started triggering on its own. The Bouski members proceeded to dismantle the whole kit and take the drum pads apart. When they put the kit back together there appeared to be a few extra parts left over. Things with wires coming out, the odd screw and a few funny shaped bits of plastic. After using a few 'tools' from the beer fridge, the band had realised that there was nothing wrong with the kit
and a threshold setting just needed to be adjusted on the controls.
The spare parts remain a mystery. |

July 28th 2005 Dave Discovers the Guitar Tuner
After twenty years of playing guitar, Dave finally bought a guitar tuner. Unfortunately the instructions were written in Japanese. So far Dave has only figured out how to tune his strings to B. He therefore had all his guitar strings tuned to B. and he has started Japanese night class to learn how to read the manual. 'Green Light Sessions' using the tuner have started with Bouski. Despite many sessions, only one riff has emerged, in the key of B.
