Greetings Ladies & Gents,
hope you're all feeling well...........IF NOT perhaps we here on the good ship Mitty have something that'll put the wind in your sails, take the poop from your shoot or even coax out that smile you've been saving for the day your rich successful neighbour looses it all to a gypsy rogue in a foolish street corner bet.........................................here's the scoop so far >>>>>
W.M. & T.R. are currently recording their debut al-bum with Mr. Fergal Lawler ex 'THE CRANBERRIES' drummer !! (more info available in our blog above)
In their first year as a band, then 3-piece, Walter Mitty & The Realists appeared at the HARD WORKING CLASS HEROES Festival '07..
National Radio station 2FM recently invited them into their studios to record 3 live acoustic tracks for Cormac Battle's "Wireless" show....LIVE 95FM, SPIN FM, Limerick West Radio, and college radio station WIRED FM, RED FM, + BEAT FM, followed suit inviting them in for live studio sessions and interviews.
They've shared stages and shed many rock tears (i.e.sweated alot) with Irish + UK heroes like Dirty Pretty Things, Giveamanakick, We Should Be Dead, The Flaws, Dark Room Notes, Vesta Varro, Red Kid, The Aftermath, Stanley Super 800, Hooray For Humans, The Hot Sprockets and Seneca to mention but a few.
......They are currently alive and gigging so keep an eye and an ear out for them, they promise they won't abuse them....much.
Thanks for your time, Yours Truly,
WM&TR, xxx
