!t's over!

Well that brings an end to our accidental two county tour! Ill start from where I left off.....stop two this week for us was the strange experience of a sixteenth birthday party, with a drunk thirteen year old wanting to be our singer, and being rather insistant about it!

Then we had a couple days off before pulling a rager in Brandons with Stay Out Of Malibu, Vox Populi and Kyon, great night! Near fights, free drink and a late bar. Good stuff. Highlight of the night, Eoghan wandering around mouldy, wearing a cape and a lovely tweed hat.

Then we hopped on the train down to Limerick for the Elk album launch, unfortunately, even though it was a Saturday night, it was just one of those nights and the crowd was a bit sparse.....
Elk were fair good though! Made a new fan of me anyway! And I'm still not sure how I made it through the set without throwing up/passing out on the kit, Saturday morning hit me hard....

Then today we had the final call at the End of Exam Bash at the Ennis Youth Centre, where we started out :) good day, except for the fact that the lovely outdoors gig we were having was cut short by some bitch who complained because the loud music was disrupting her fucking snobby ass barbeque, oh nobody was happy about that..... grand aul gig though!

Now we have a week off before headin back down to Baker Place again to make some noise with Kyon and Laminate Reno again on Saturday, so come have some beers with us!

Success!

Well it seems I havent already gotten bored of this!

Just arrived home after an extremely fun gig in Baker Place, Limerick, with Laminate Reno and My Mothers Son......Woa-holy shit. The boy and gals of Laminate Reno are fast becoming real good friends of us C!ties boys and I advise anyone to check 'em out if ya ever get the chance. I have to say the exact same of My Mothers Son, and Dempsey learned never to challenge Ennis people, as he went half the set minus his pants. Good Stuff.

We had a fuckin blast too, even though I'm nursing a blister the size of fuckin Tipp. Never thought there'd actually be a crowd that big on a Monday night! And we'll be back there again on Saturday to tear it up.

All that being said, I'm tired and I have some Sopranos to watch, g'luck!

The Beginning............

I've decided to succumb to the internet sensation that is blogging and start C!ty Blog, a blog generally based on the antics of the band C!ties, of which I, Ian, am the drummer, without any conferring with Sean or Eoghan. It's secondary purpose is for me to give out about things that I don't like. Hopefully the lads will approve also and contribute.

Basically the status of C!ties at the moment is that we're gigging the fuck out of it and writing new stuff as we go, hoping to record a substantial amount of material sometime over the Summer.

We're having a fucking great time with this band, going strong for well over a year now, and thanks so much to all the support we've gotten in these particularly busy past few months, the definite highlight being our gig with And So I Watch You From Afar and maybeshewill in Baker Place a while back. The two bands are huge influences of ours and it was beyond amazing to get the chance to play with them and discover that they're all absolutely lovely people! So a big hello and thanks to any of those varied band members should they happen upon this blog, hope the new albums are doing as well as they deserve to.

All that being said, I reckon it'll just about pass for post number one. Hopefully I won't get bored as fuck in about twelve minutes and never write on this damn thing again.
