PRESS
"Cloud Castle Lake play the Village, wonderfully dreamy electronica rock from Dublin, actually to hell with Tokyo Police Club, this is Drop-d's gig of the week, but don't tell anyone about this band, they'll be our little secret."
Lush electronic rock with beguiling oddball flourishes and fringes from four members of Vladimir Nabokov’s Dublin fanclub. www.myspace.com/cloudcastlelakeband.

Oh Mr.McAuley, we greeted and treated you rather foully last night.... but in our defence, we did drink away all our common-sense, hence the crazy hazy offences that did commence! Séamus is genuinely shameless; he has some nerve. I, however, deserve to be held blameless.... surely you enjoyed feeling my boy-toy's ripped chest-ripples??! It was a very traumatic night, which is somewhat why we were so erratic. You've simply gotta put up with brats like us what with your celebrity status!! Seriously though, your Séamus beau sincerely felt a connection to your affections,, but I'd steer clear from his direction as he's riddled with infections! Ooooh man, can I still be your biggest fan?!
Is this Peter Jonathan man fact or friction, cause he really does have a stunning diction?! Alsooo I see you're doing a show with the fiddler pro, although riddle me this: surely I haven't missed it if it's a New Years affair, then why do you felos have it listed up there^^ as the 20th?! Does that make this 2010 then?!! If so>Appy new year dear chappys! x
