Record Store Day Release, Sold Out Whelans Gig and Phantom 105.2 FM Regular Playlist

Record Store Day

 

We released our new single "Soul Brother" there on Record Store Day, the 20th of April. To help launch the limited edition 7 inch Vinyl we played two instores and a headline gig in Whelans. The first gig was in Freebird Records. It was fully unplugged and intimate, really sweet vibe in there. We nearly didn't get to play at all because a guard on horseback all but seized our van outside the venue. The quivering lips and sad faces made him change his mind at the last second so we got away with a fine. It was both really lucky and unfortunate at the same time. You can check out pictures of the gig and the brush with the law here. 


After this we made the short stroll next door to do a Tower Records Instore in The Madison Venue.  This was a fully electric gig and way more rocking, but equally as much fun. Loads of people were buying the vinyl off of us and getting in the shops so the whole day was a beast success. On top of everything it was the nicest day of the year so far so everyone was in a really good mood.

We also have the song available for download which you can get here if you'd like to help us out.

Whelans Headliner

We made our way up to Whelans after Tower to set up, soundcheck and get ready for our headline slot. We decorated the place with the Jack of Diamonds crew and the place looked awesome. We had all props from the video around the place and vinyls hanging from the ceiling. Markas Carcass and Cry Monster Cry were amazing as always and they had the crowd toasted by the time we made our way to the stage. The place was absolutely jam packed and they were turning people away at the door! We had a deadly time playing and we did our best. We also had Sarah Red and Amy Kelly singing backing vocals for a few songs and Simon Wall (Wookie) playing the flute. We couldn't be happier with the way the whole gig went and big thanks to the Jack of Diamonds posse, A-tray and Peter Pureheart for kicking ass on the night. And of course Claire Miaow Catt Batt on the merch stand. Big love everyone. Thanks to all of you for coming along as well and for your much appreciated ongoing support. You are all rapid! xxx
