Not Much New at Hencorp...Again

News: Not Much at Hencorp

Dear Henlistee,

It's been pointed out to us by the legal department here at Hencorp that any further cop bashing should be duly considered (Ref. "Parking Cop Killer," a proposed song title from a previous mailing). Apparently it wouldn't be beyond the proclivities of certain editors, say, or one particular parking officer who dogs us day and night, to interpret things into the Hencorpus thusly, and construct a case for a rap-style m.o. at Hencorp designed to antagonize the Blue Line:

 

Get Out the Shovel, for instance, could, we now see, have unconsciously been written with a vengeful motive

A Mouse in Sheep's Clothing (a cop put-down?)
Rash (of parking tickets???)
Sawchuk Head and Joe Batt's Arm (clearly, severed cop parts)
Die Fieldmouse (ever heard of one referred to as a "fieldmouse" before?)
Nunc Pro Tunc (a legal defence)
Adobe Abode (the Big House)
Chump Changes (their annual pay)
Riff Raff (us), Muscle Beach (them).

Given our propensity for flirtations with long-term incarceration, from hereon in it is Hencorp's policy to love getting parking tickets and pledge full payment within 7 days of each incurrence.

After some high-level meetings it looks as if The Henrys may be joining up with DROG Records from Guelph (Rheostatics, Skydiggers, Lewis Melville etc) and imagine how good it feels to be among friends after that thing with those particular Yankee ....

We're also gearing up for a recording session this fall, to release a new CD in the spring.

If you happen to crave some fresh produce for lunch this Wednesday (Sept. 3rd), we're playing a concert/farmers' market in Nathan Phillips Square, beside City Hall in Toronto. Sets are at 12 noon and 1:15 and the corn's on us. (One raw cob for every purchase of 30 CDs, no limit.)

See you there, we hope.

Always at this website, or, you can visit the site of the other guys who somehow ripped off our name even though they're kids from Memphis who prob. never actually heard of us:
