Hello faithful
listeners/ viewers/ readers!....
.. ..
It's been a while
since we last filled you in on everything that's happening in our hectic little
world. When we last chatted, we were thick in the middle of all the promo
surrounding our album launch and building up to a little tour with our good
friends the Panama Kings. We have lots to
tell you about... We did interviews with George Jones
(U105FM), Olga Kinsmann (Cool FM) and Cathal Funge (Phantom FM) to name a few.
Here's
a pic from the tour of Niall from the Pyjama Kings just
chilling on the couch after some hard partying in Thomastown..
Gigwise, we played Glasgowbury Festival (25th July) and graced the same stage as The
Super Furry Animals and Ocean Colour Scene when we played the Mitchelstown
Festival in Cork on 1st August. You can see some of the photos in our album right here. And here's a sneak preview of us on stage and Ciaran working some sexy magic:
Well, we survived all that (just about) - everything went swimmingly! There was
singing, dancing, midnight football, belly aches and good times, drinking and
semi naked 2am wrestling... side effects included severe memory loss and
possible self induced early onset of dimensia.....
.. ..
Since then we've been
all systems go with our album 'I've been here for ages'. The album is available
to purchase from the Pocket Promise iTunes store - and
all major download sites now and physical copies are available from our website. Hopefully at this stage you've heard
a little bit about it or heard some of the songs on the radio. If not, you can
listen to some tracks on the player on our facebook band page or here.....

In other news - We're
doing an in-store gig at the legendary Tower Records, Wicklow Street, Dublin, where
we'll have copies of the new album available – Thursday 17th September at 5pm.
On the same day we will be filming a new song for our good friends at Balcony TV
who have been kind enough to have us back.
Also look out for our appearance on TG4's POP 4 show which we’ll be posting up
soon. The session was aired last week. ....

We’ve also just been
informed that we’ll be playing this year’s Hard Working Class Heroes (Dublin) Visit
the breaking tunes page for more info here. And guess what... We've only gone and joined Twitter. The ultimate in online
disturbance. We’ll now be able to tell you when and where we use the toilet and
how much we shouldn’t have had that extra whiskey... Follow us here.....
.. ..
We’ve also posted up
our current video for ‘talkovertalking’. The video was recorded by the ever
talented and truly brilliant Will McConnell of Bandwidth Films. It was recorded in sunny Tyrone
and the video will hopefully envoke feelings of what summer should really be
about… sun! The video can be viewed here.....

GIG NEWS:....
.. ..
We’re going to be
bringing in the new academic year with a headline slot at RADAR in Queens
University Students’ Union on Thursday 24th alongside Furlo and Naktomi Towers.
This will be amazing! It’s free in and the drinks are as cheap as a really
cheap item (I would’ve said chips, but chips just aren’t that cheap anymore...
That’s the recession for you.) ....
.. ..
We’re also playing
with our excellent friends and a truly
wonderful band Seven Summits on their album launch on 29th Spet at
the Black Box Café, Belfast alongside the very brilliant John Shelley and the
creatures and our old chums The Good Fight. Faffing hell… it’s a busy time of
year.....
.. ..
NEXT WEEK we will be
proud to announce the arrival of our new website!
