The hornitas auctioned off an incredibly rare "signed by Sledgecock" box of Pizza shapes - what could be a better piece of TCE memorabilia? In some hot bidding, the final price was $34, all of which will be donated to tsunami relief.
Congratulations to Thea in the forums for the winning bid, and well done to everyone who was involved, especially the hornitas themselves.
Courtesy of Tassie music site Naked Dwarf, there are some photos online from the Tasmanian leg of the Falls Festival. There's some great shots in there, go check them out.
During the Falls Festival at Lorne, the Hornitas managed to get Felix, aka Sledgecock to sign a box of Pizza Shapes as Sledge...
To support all those people who have been left devistated by the Asian Tsunami's, we're auctioning the box off on Ebay to raise money for the Red Cross Tsunami Appeal.

The Cat Empire's WOMAdelaide gig, recorded in March 2004, was broadcast a couple of times recently on the ABC. Yep, our eight cents a day is going right where we want it! And even better, it's available online: here is a direct link to the RealAudio stream for those who missed it.
The site and forums have passed another milestone: we now have over two hundred registered members! Thanks are due to all the participants who keep the site active.

Right now, we're trying to collect biography information again for all the band members. If there's something you know, hop in the forums and share it with the rest of us.
TCE.info wishes you all a happy new year! I'm sure 2005 will be a big one for the band, too, with more international tours (USA and Europe) and another CD release...
Some reviews of the New Year's Eve concerts are coming in in the forums: the Federation Square gig, thanks to MikeK, and both of the Falls Festivals (Tasmania and Victoria) thanks to AndyC and Shakalak and everybody who went.
It looks like the hornitas are getting some well-deserved attention for their dance moves:
and one more thing i forgot to add before, a quote from felix at the intro to the sly:"if you guys could help us come up with some dance moves it would be greatly appreciated"
NICE WORK HORNITAS!!!!!!!!!!!
