Hello der,

Just a wee note to let you know that our debut single 'Kick Start' is now available on itunes! It'll be the best 79p you'll spend this Christmas! Although 68p Sainsburys Cherry Bakewells come a close second.

We've also filmed a video with the ever wonderful Bandwidth Films and the help of a few friends who were brave enough to turn out on a horrible winter morning! Take a wee look at the top of the myspace page and see if you recognise anyone.

However im going back to bed as we only made it home from Galway at 5am.

Steven

PS Cheers to A Plastic Rose for being complete legends and their van (Morrison) for keeping us all on our toes. Bring on Friday and Saturday in Omagh and Strabane.

Hi all.

Hey so time for a summer update?....

.. ..

We had a splendid day last Saturday at Glasgowbury playing the Small but Massive Main Stage and performing acoustic tracks for the BBC Introducing and Across the Line shows in their beautiful Yurt (More on the Yurt sessions in another blog i hope)! You can listen to live tracks from Rory McConnells Radio 1 Introducing show from last week including new song Hospitals here.

....

.. ..

Rory also tipped us on the Huw Stephens National Radio 1 In New Music We Trust Show last week. Listen back here. What a gent!!....

.. ..

So the future is bright and orange for us.... last week we played ..Dublin.. on Wednesday and ....Waterford.... on Friday both times to a couple of hundred people which was great. We have a few gigs coming next week including our own home sweet home gig at Exodus which is an over 14s show alongside the mighty Remember Kids, More than Conquerors and Shadow Arcade. Next week in Belfast we are touring the Dublin Road and supporting the best roller bladers in town...Pocket Promise at their album launch.....

.. ..

Before we go enjoy Bandwiths 'In store session' of Hats on Sticks from a picture framing shop !!woop.....

Peace and Love

The Good Fight

These videos were shot at Radar on 30th April by bandwidth films. The songs 'Kick Start' and 'Hats on Sticks' should be recorded in a studio sometime soon!

Hi we are just back from a splendid trip to Dublin. We played the Musicmaker on Sunday afternoon and then got the chance to play too two big crowds... on the Sunday evening in the Globe, and Monday evening in the Village... So all in all a lovely weekend.

We have recieved the call to Glasgowbury festival (General Fiasco, In Case of Fire, Fighting with Wire etc) and have been selected for their compilation CD that comes with the esteemed Hotpress magazine......check it out here

We have a few different session and live videos coming from the delightful  Bandwidth films and a BBC Across the line session to be recorded this week, these will appear on our myspace soon( featuring new songs that are becoming favourites for us; kick start and hats on sticks)

we will be bringing news a bit more reguarly i hope now . in the meantime i suggest pop over to the pocket promise myspace to listen to a few of their new offerings here

big love
the good fight

Look up amaze fm we got chosen as the featured artist of the week on their homepage from hundreds of bands. The site works with a chart that allows the highest voted band to get airplay on hundreds of American radiostations. Pretty please place a vote for us on their website. At the minute 'Landslide' is NO.1 in the chart woop.... but it lasts a week so help us out. You need to do a real basic sign up here. (Oh and for the zip code part just put in 5 random digits)

Thanks from the beaver boys

Well after two very tiresome evenings we eventually finished recording two tracks in Dublin..."Presumptions" and a new song called "Hats with Sticks", I'm really excited about the new one especially, they are being wisked off to America through email and all being well The Good Fight will have their first  release in the summer months.

In the meantime we have a few gigs coming up, and will have a few more to announce in the summer months as we are preparing to finish our education and then postpone careers as enginners and teachers. So heres a hearty cheer for those with rebellious hearts. In the meantime you can have a listen to this weeks Radio 1 podcast where General Fiasco (the biggest Rebels we know) choose 'Electric Flow', as on of their three favourite Northern Irish tracks of the moment. (Radio 1 Podcast).

See you at gigs Merry folk
 

Matthew McKee (our beloved bearded drummer) and The Good Fight have come to the end of the road. He has drummed with The Good Fight from the beginning where his beard was more of a light whispyness on his face but sadly for all of us he has decided to call it a day. Friday 13th March marks the last gig with The Good Fight as you know them...

...But do not fear...William Richie will be stepping in to fill the position with his first gig on 1st April in Dundalk followed by a Belfast date on 3rd April in Auntie Annies again.

We hope you will join with us in saying Fairwell to Matthew and Welcome to William
