What a night with our friends in Borwaerk and the mighty Ugly Hurons! Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen and in particular to those who thought that they were coming to a Bob Dylan concert.

The Westerwaves are back with their wildest, punkiest album to date. An incredible collection that includes songs about interplanetary accounting, psychopathic roommates, tunnels, pissing on tourist beaches and the fact that the Westerwaves are not Bob Dylan. And also a waltz about suffragettes and the futility of business.
The first reactions of the specialized media have been extraordinary:
 
"Finally a band that recognizes the importance of accounting in outer space" (H. Maylor, President of the American Heterodox Accounting Association)
 
"What the actual fuck is this? Who are these people?" (Lola Lamour, Editor of the Magazine of the National American Woman Suffrage Association)
 
"The times are indeed a-changing. I wish they had stayd like they were." (Bob Dylan, Nobel Laureate)
 
Listen! Learn! Enjoy! You are not Bob Dylan either, anyway.

If you need an accountant let it be someone who is knowledgeable in extraterrestrial law!
 

Intergalactic accountants!

 

Matt left his job in desolation road

Went all the way down to Brevard County

Someone help him with his mental overload

Take him to the bedroom and fuck him

Matt left his job in the space corporation

He had counted all that there was to count

Now he's a drug dealer in probation

Flying his spaceship around and around

 

Intergalactic accountants!

 

Administrator of the century

Fills all those balance sheets with numbers

Matt works in an office down in Mercury

Winning awards but feeling humble

Matt left his job in the space corporation

He had counted all that there was to count

Now he's a drug dealer in probation

Flying his spaceship around and around

 

Intergalactic accountants!

 

What a practice weekend The Westerwaves had!

New tunes, old tunes, new covers, new patents, and a boost in problem-solving skills!

SURPRISE! New shit is out!
In their new single, the Westerwaves team with Pachelbel in order to address two of the most challenging topics of the current millennium: partial differential equations and the obsession of capitalist societies with breasts that resemble particular probability distributions.
With "Neptune's Different Explanation", the Westerwaves present a minimalist rock opera which combines Hamiltonians, local maxima and the search for eternal truths while shamelessly plagiarizing Pachelbel's Canon.
 
The B-side of the single, "Chi-Square Boobied Girl", reinvents the rock'n'roll rhythms of the 1950s and presents them as if they had been created in an exoplanet where sexual tension is proportional to the similarity of one's breasts to particular continuous probability distributions. The post-feminist anthem that everyone was waiting for.
Enjoy at your own risk in Spotify, Bandcamp or wherever you get your Westerwaves fixes!
