Having released our Immovable Feet EP last week, us Land Lovers will dash around the country playing all sorts of gigs this bank holiday weekend. If you're anywhere near Cork, Mullingar, Tullamore or Galway, then we're coming your way.

Copies of Immovable Feet (5 euro) and supplies of our ice-cool tshirts (10 euro) will be available at all the venues. Of course, the CD also can be bought in Road, Tower or Plugd or downloaded from iTunes.

So that's:
Thursday, 30/7: The Pavilion, Cork
Friday, 31/7: The Stables, Mullingar
Saturday, 1/8: Castlepalooza Festival, Charleville Castle, Tullamore (Tickets here)
Monday, 3/8: Roisin Dubh, Galway



In Mullingar and Galway, we'll be joined by the lovely Groom (plus Herm in the west), while in Cork we open for local favourites Cajole & Bully as they launch their own EP.

There's a review of Immovable Feet in the latest edition of the RTE Guide. It goes like this:
""She is the shipping forecast read by the Crazy Frog". This arresting line from Cloudy Girl, the first song on this short, six-track labour of love from Dublin's Land Lovers serves notice that singer Pádraig Cooney likes to skew his songs just like a young Elvis Costello. Fidgety with choppy guitars, some gorgeous melodica and a muscular rhythm section, Immovable Feet, the follow up to last year's well-received debut album Romance Romance, is another collection of strange but infectious pop songs from Land Lovers. Strangest of all is Paddy Works the Maglev a future tale of Irish navvies reverting to national stereotype and slaving on an undersea rail line between London and New York in 2041."

Finally, there's a review of our EPOCHAL Immovable Feet launch gig in Whelan's last week in Connected Magazine.
