Getting some nice feedback on our 3 demo songs. We even got Fall From Grace Again played on the local college radio station. Yay! Check them out- it's KPSU, and every friday afternoon from 2-3 they have a show called Uncle Larry's Kiltlifter Extravaganza and they play all Irish themed music. You can also listen at 98.1 FM if you're near the PSU campus.
We've also got some new shows to let you know about. We finally booked that second show up in Seattle. It will be at the Ould Triangle. I've never been there, but it came highly recommended by some musicians who've played there. The owner is an Irish guy named Ray who fronts the Seattle band Raybone Experience. You really should check them out- lets just say they put an interesting spin on some of these old traditional Irish songs. And they rock. It looks like we'll also be playing a show on April 30 with our friends Monody and Jetpack: missing. No, they're not Irish bands, but they're good friends of ours and they're both releasing CD's soon, so we're going to rock up our set a bit and open up for them. Then a few days later on May 2, we'll be opening for Colin Clyne at the Alberta St Pub. He's a Scottish songwriter who will be touring in support of his new album 'Doricana". I am literally downloading the album as we speak.
We also played 2 shows this last week. Thursday we played an acoustic set at Mahers. We ended up being double booked with Corry Quinn, a bluegrass/americana singer. We ended up joining up with him and switching off playing each others songs. He's got a great voice. That was a fun night. Then last night we played at Shanahan's for the second time. It was a really good show, and the crowd seemed to enjoy the music. We ended up booking 3 more shows there for the summer in June, July and August, so we must've done ok. Thanks to the crew at Shanahan's for taking good care of us. We'll see you again in June! For everyone else, we'll see you in 2 weeks at Fort George in Astoria. We're expecting that place to be packed- better get there early!
