IT'S FINALLY happened. Chico Mendez and the Eling Allstars have gone live with their website, lovingly cobbled together by myself.

Right now it's hosted on some free server or other so the address isn't as catchy as we'd like but it will very soon be moving to a permanent home (www.chicomendez.co.uk) just as soon as 'Mr Internet' (Carl) gets a few technical creases ironed out.

Get your eyes and ears over there on the double and let me know what you think. You can email the band from the 'contact us' page and tuck into a selection of our music in the 'downloads' area, surprisingly enough. Rest assured there's plenty more to come from the band and their spiffing new online presence in the coming weeks. Listen responsibly.
