We're launching our new EP "Dazzling Mess" @ the academy 2 this Friday 27th November Doors 7pm €8 in, Support from Vodkopter and Urban Folk Project :-) Hope to see you there!!
To celebrate the release of A Plastic Rose/The Good Fight split single through DiDiMau Records (APR Colour Blue | TGF Kickstart) were playing the Gifted night in The Empire with some mates and really hope you can get down. We've had a wonderful year so far and this would be the tip of the iceberg if it goes well. There will be special guest performers and others surprises thrown in to make sure its a night to remember. Any on-line or word of mouth help you can do to get the word EVERYWHERE would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your comment and the invitation:) I'd love to come to your gig on the 5th Nov but I'm not in Ireland any more. I just spent a week in Dublin and was lucky to come across your concert:) I hope I'll have a chance to catch you some other time though. Best of luck! xx
