Another One Down

First and foremost, we've finally started making headway into some more new material! Huzzah!
Fuck knows when we'll actually finish a song or two, but it's a start!

Our return visit to cork with the KVX girls was a roaring success, good crowd, good sound, great night, many many thanks to Daire for the use of her house for us to bang out a quick practice!
And sorry to Neill who I drunkenly confused with his brother.....my bad!

Then, we head our first of many gigs to come with Kyon in Bakers, twasn't a bad night at all! Support was provided by Stone Throwing Youths, and I was very pleasantly surprised! It can be tough for a two piece guitar/drum band to really 'bring it' live, but they did a damn good job!
It was great to see Kyon live again, its been a few months, and god love Shane Talty he went as mental as ever. If there's one thing I can say its: 'DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR'
confused? I hope so.

Next up is our second visit to Galway with the lads and fellow exclamation mark utilisers 'So Hardcore It's Terrifying (S.H.!.T)', in The Cellar this coming Sunday, mad looking forward to that one! So hopefully we'll see a good few Galway heads there!

Au Revo!r

Let's try that aga!n

Well this has fallen by the wayside the last few months, sorry bout that! Let me give ye an update as to what has been happening! A few weeks ago we had our first visit to gig in Galway, with the lovely lads from Adebisi Shank in Kellys, which was a great time! Hopefully we get to play with them again soon.

Shortly after that we were down in the Quad in Cork with Hooray for Humans for a bit of a Christmas bash, another great night, gin was consumed in unpleasant quantities, but oh well. Always love playing Cork!

Over the holidays we stuck around home for an all ages gig in the Youth
Centre on Christmas Eve Eve, which was fun, its not been longer than a year since we last played there, but it still felt like getting back to our roots a little bit. Then on Stephens Night, we had a rager in Brandons, lotsa bodies, and loud music with us and the debut gig of another band I'm in with my two good friends Paul and Brian, El Casa Roca! I was fair wrecked after that one! Shitload of fun though, as I'm sure anyone who was there will testify to.

Then after another drunken few days we stumbled in 'Two Thousand and Tin'. Our first gig of this new decade was on the 7th of Jan in Baker Place, and despite a few technical difficulties with synths and a noticable lack of donk on what would usually be the most donk fil
led portion of our set, people seemed to have a good time, and we gave it socks anywho. The lovely lasses in KVX were fantastic, and I was delighted to see them again after not seeing them for over a year. Also playin were The Zeroes, charming bunch of lads!


That gig is the first of many lined up between now and April, in between a tour with Kyon, and a mini tour with KVX, we'll be working hard for a while. Next up is a return visit to the quad on Friday next, the 15th, which is going to be great fun, and hopefully we'll see as many of you Cork heads there braving the freeze. G'luck now!
