So far as I can see, the most recent mentions of New York's
Woofing Cookies have largely been limited to Ebay auctions. That being said, there's minimal info to be had on them, though a fan-based
Myspace page has a scan of their biography taken from a press kit of some sort. "In the City" isn't the Jam classic, or even the Eagles tune of the same name. Instead, it's a W/C original that stands at the nexus of power pop, garage, and warm, raw indie rock. The flipside to this
Peter Buck-produced wax, "VB Side," offers some mild dynamic tangents, but strikes me as a bit underwritten by comparison. I'm also tacking on an additional cut, "Such a Mistake," from a preceding single. Rough-hewn, strummy goodness abounds. The Cookies also have a full length to their credit that I hope to get my mitts on soon.
A. In the City

Thanks. The W/C link isn't working, or were you referring to yours? Can't check since I'm at work.
Am I the only one who thinks that this sleeve looks like Dinosaur Jr art?
It kinda does now that you mention it.
Got to at least say thanks for the bonus track it does rock ala early outnumbered etc. always dug these folk and my sister and I had an ongoing joke about woofing stuff ha ha
Hey -- This is Len, guitar player from the Wooking Cookies. Thanks for posting this! I love it that anyone actually remembers us and/or still listens to the music. Tell me where I can contact you, and I'll burn you a CD of Horse Gum Tortilla Shoes.
Also, I have a YA novel coming out next winter called The Scar Boys (published by Egmont USA), the backdrop of which was inspired by the years with the Cookies.
