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
B. VB Side

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.
