Canned Panther News February 09

Canned Panther Towers, is a buzzing hive of creativity right now. We're gearing up for a trip to Canada, an event with Sound City, photoshoots coming up and lots of radio interviews. Read on!




Christina Malley & The Band
Christina Malley & The Band have released their album sampler which is available now at all her live gigs. Message her on Myspace to receive a signed copy. A limited amount is available, so be quick!









Laney Murphy & The Hybrids
Laney Murphy has now been joined by Ian Lewis on guitar and Karl Gielinck on bass. They're both outstanding musicians and can be found in Laney's top friends on Myspace: www.myspace.com/laneymurphy . Make sure you pop over and say hello. Laney Murphy & The Hybrids are currently in the studio recording, so make sure you look out for the new tracks coming out soon!






Laney and Ian featured on City Talk 105.9 (Liverpool) on Wednesday 28th January. After singing the popular 'Good Riddance' live in the studio, the pair went on to chat about their first gig as The Hybrids at Parr Street the following day. You can hear the full interview with Dean Sullivan (who gained fame in Brookside and is now one of Liverpool's favourite presenters) at www.myspace.com/laneymurphy


Familiar Looking Strangers
FLS have just come back from their UK tour and are about to take flight for Toronto. The band are featured on one of the hottest line ups of Canadian Music Week (http://www.canadianmusicfest.com/) and are doing several gigs in Toronto with their all new merchandise! Check out their gig listings on http://www.familiarlookingstrangers.com/ and www.myspace.com/familiarlookingstrangers



They really have been busy bunnies because in the last couple of weeks they have also been recording with Tez Sheals and Martyn Campbell (Shack / Richard Ashcroft). Their new tunes are really special, and we know you can't wait to get your hands on them!

Their popular video 'Howard Hughes Lament' is now up on YouTube which you can visit at: www.youtube.com/flsofficial


Jack Roberts
JR, Mr Edwards, and the drummer known only as Joseph are becoming the formidable trio that everyone is talking about on the acoustic scene in Liverpool. The new material is being recorded as we speak, and don't be surprised to find a special guest appearance from the ever lovely Ragz (www.myspace.com/ragzmusic).

The 15 Storeys boys are our new friends in the Canned Panther camp. Please introduce yourselves to them at www.myspace.com/15storeyshigh

These four Liverpool likely lads bring a refreshing taste to the local scene. After gigs around Merseyside, they've gone on to perform in Dublin, and have a huge Irish fan base. They've gone on to secure residencies at Tabac, Liverpool, and Vinyl, Liverpool.
