FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

PIRATE CAT RADIO RETURNS TO LOS ANGELES!

-----------------

Fundraiser parties:

The Cocaine (LA), Wednesday, February 8

LB Warehouse (Long Beach), Friday, February 24

After years of exile in fog-bound San Francisco,

PIRATE CAT RADIO has returned to L.A., where the

renegade station first grew wings. Pirate Cat Radio

now broadcasts from a hotwired zeppelin hovering over

the city and can be heard at 87.9 FM from West

Hollywood down to Long Beach. Pirate Cat Radio is the

first pirate radio station to ever broadcast to two

major cities simultaneously. And thanks to the

on-going War on Terror, Pirate Cat Radio is still

legal and patriotic as ever!

All this expansion costs money, and Pirate Cat is

hosting a couple of fundraising shindigs:

Wednesday February 8 at 8pm, $6:

A HAPPY DEATH, ALEX GARDENER, SOAPBOX ROULETTE,

SILENCE IS TREASON
