11/12/06 – We recently received a new order of Alligators T Shirts (in blue, and for the first time, black) and baseball caps. Sorry to the folks who wanted these items while we were temporarily out of stock. We also now have brand new embroidered Alligators patches, so you can sew them onto backpacks, jackets, and so on, turning almost any garment into “gator gear.” All of these items, as well as CDs are available for purchase at shows and at our Gator Gear page.

Everyone has been asking about a new album from the Alligators. If there are Alligators originals that you have heard live and want to hear them on the next CD, send us an e-mail and let us know. Choosing a title for a CD is also never easy. “Welcome To The Future” was in the running for the first one but didn’t make it. Alan is fond of “Somewhat Commercial Recorded Music Product #2 for the next CD title, but we think he’s the only one who is. If you have a suggestion for a new album title, drop us a line and let us know.”
