Gathering momentum

Slow year last year right enough, wasn't it? Still quite a few new songs were written, really rather good ones, including a cracker about Chief Cuntstable of Shitropolis: David "Joobface" Cameron

Force_and_momentum

Momentum is the the thing.  i think it's cause we're all a bit fatter after sitting on our holes all christmas freezing like fuck and eating all the wee chocolate christmas tree decorations and drinking Baileys (not Shaz of course!)

Takes a while to get up speed, but once we're there hopefully our combined heft will allow us to career right into the roundabout of musical sycophancy and over it into your man's garden, who just built a new wall after the last time.  "Fuck Sake" he'll be like "Ach, fuck sake lads!"

I love you,
Anto

Coffee, by the people, of the people and for the people

Daithi and Anto will be providing some acoustic tuneage tonight at the wonderful Common Grounds Coffee Shop, just behind Queen's University, on University Ave.

Common Grounds is a wonderful thing.  All profits from the Coffee Shop are donated to a different charity each year, tonight is the AGM where the benificiary of the next 12 months proceeds will be sent.

It's a brilliant place, and the coffee and cakes are also amazing, as are the staff and directors.

Long may it continue :-)

Kicking off from about 7.30 or so, I think - it'll not hurt you to be hanging around eating carrot cake for a bit either way will it? :-)

Hello AGAIN!

Media_httpclimateaudi_dafff

Once more onto the Breach! and so on and that sort of shite. Anyway we're back in operation after a prolonged period of quiescence whilst little Olivia went from being a wee todey wee thing to a big bruiser!

Plans are again afoot. First of all gigs!!!

A few things to be confirmed over the Autumn, but the biggest being  THIS Belfast Festival Gig

Which does involve us playing a few Lennon songs but it's still us playing! should be a great night.

Also we'll be heading to Dundalk on the 29th at the kind invitation of our friends at New Day Rising gigs. Always brilliant. What we're most excited about is the new material we've been sitting on for the last while, and the even newer stuff we are putting together at the minute! We should be making some sort of announcement about new releases before the end of the year! 

Yeeeoooo!

And all that!

Some Pixtures of us!

Got the hold of some fantastic pics of the Spring and Airbrake gig taken by Rosie Mac and published in The Big List!

Looking good the old TPO machine there - none of Daithi though!  :-(

Also gonna call here to get some studio time sorted - I think a wee 5 track EP would be timely!

Tickets are a very reasonable £4 for such a lot of good musics!
