UP THE PUNX

MIDNIGHT WOOLF - I'LL BE A DOG CD/LP OUT NOW!

"I'll Be A Dog" is the brand new album by Melbourne's wildest garage band Midnight Woolf. Packed with 14 of the craziest, fuzziest and furriest tracks this winter. Recorded by Raul Sanchez over 12 months on 8 track tape, it captures Midnight Woolf at their sexiest "Take it off", dirtiest "Natural Man" and heart-thumping danciest "It's Love".

With hand-drawn artwork by Lluis Fuzzhound and out on Off The Hip Records, the album is bound to set the cats a-running and the dogs a-chasing. So round up the chickens and tie down the hen-house, the Woolf are back on the prowl.

Happy New Year you people with great taste in music!!

The Off The Hip record label has started 2013 with 2 new releases:

Thank you

Hey, a big thanks for your continued support of Off The Hip Records thru 2012.

this year was another big one for us; we turned 10 at the beginning of
the year, and it's been our pleasure to bring you many great new
releases thru the year from the likes of: KING SALAMI, TOMBSTONE
RAMBLERS, MIDNIGHT WOOLF, THE SINGLES, ZOOBOMBS, JOHNNY CASINO, MESA
COSA, BRAT FARRAR, CRYSTAL THOMAS, THE NO REAL NEED and RUSSIAN
ROULETTES. plus many great gigs in the record store, and some great
live sets along the east coast by touring bands: ZOOBOMBS (japan)
KING SALAMI (uk), LOS CHICOS (spain), and JOHHNY CASINO Y LOS SECRETOS
(spain). plus we got a couple of local bands over to europe: MIDNIGHT
WOOLF (sept) and BRAT FARRAR (for what felt like most of 2012, please
send them home so they can record a new album).

our plans for 2013; we got releases at the (vinyl) pressing plant for
LA BASTARD, TEA, CARRIE PHILLIS AND THE DOWNTOWN 3, then into the year
records for JOHNNY CASINO (it wouldn't be a year at off the hip
without something new from our man johnny), LOS CHICOS (with a tour
sometime the second half of the year), and many many more.

this year's christmas instore party is friday 14th dec, live we got
LEECHES (perth punk), plus local acts IOWA and CHRIS RUSSELS CHICKEN
WALK. rock up from 6:30pm, BYO.

and saturday 15th dec we're throwing a benefit for our flooded
brothers over in Brooklyn, NY - NORTON RECORDS - who lost their entire
warehouse to the recent Sandy hurricane floods. OLD BAR w/ MIDNIGHT
WOOLF, MESA COSA, THE REPROBETTES and WRONG TURN ( as a friggin 3
piece, yes they went 'soft' and added a bassman in the form of the Rum
God- ask to see his plaque, as he still hasn't shown me?); all
proceeds will be donated to NORTON RECORDS.

important: off the hip's last day of trade for 2012 will be friday
december 21st, we'll re-open wednesday 9th january.

happy festive season, and we look forward to bringing you more great
music thru 2013,
mick, jack and chris - off the hip records
