What have we been up to?

We've just finished our second studio album. It took us a full year, our life savings, our blood and our tears but the album is finished at last. It was recorded in Windmill Lane, Grouse Lodge and Orphan Recording Studio, and it was produced and engineered by the D. O. Double G a.k.a. Gavin Glass. Its taken its toll on us but we're all so proud of it and cant wait to hear what everyone thinks. The First single is called "Soul Brother" and its up for streaming right now, right here >> The Hot Sprockets, "Soul Brother". We have a video shot and finished for the song which was produced, shot and directed by Cavans own Finn Keenan. Wait till you see this shit! The Single Launch party is goin' down in Whelans on the 20th of April and tickets can be bought at hotsprocketstickets@gmail.com, if you drop us a line we'll post it to you for only 10 Euro. Do That!

Other than that we've had some sweet experiences too. We played at the Henry McCollough tribute night in Vicar Street with BP Fallon and John Sheehan from the Dubliners. It was surreal and amazing. The place was jammed and we got a great reception, plus it was all for a great cause. We also graced the (back) cover of Hotpress magazine and played some whopper gigs over the last year. Too much to bore you with and I'm sure you were at most of them.

Whats next?

We're playing a few songs with Fiachna Ó Braonáin from The Hothouse Flowers for a TG4 special in honour of Patsy Cline,  Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. We have an interview on RTE's Two Tube and they are showing our new video. We have two more singles and our album coming out. We are also hitting up as many festivals as we can, like Indiependance, Life and loads more we cant announce just yet. On the 14th of May we are supporting The Strypes in The 100 Club in London. So theres loads of sweet buzz to come. Stay tuned xx
