1 Week left on Kickstarter! Merch rolling in!

First: We have raised just over $5k on this Kickstarter campaign towards our $12k goal in basically 3 weeks. WOW! Thanks for ALL YOUR SUPPORT! Its amazing to see that what we enjoy doing, is something you want to see/hear more of!

Second: We have basically 1 week left to make up that remaining $6k or so! If you can post our Kickstarter page link on your facebook page, twitter, email friends and family and have them check us out on Soundcloud, Facebook, Youtube...we'd appreciate all your hard work and contributions!

The merch is starting to arrive and looking good! Remember, you are rewarded with copies of the new EP, merch, and other goodies as a thanks from us for your pledges!

This has come a long way, but its only the beginning of kickstarting what we hope to be something great with your support!!

Thanks again!! Lets do this!

2.5 Weeks into the EP Fund-raising AWESOME, We have the best Fans!!

Another big THANK YOU to all our supporters on this kickstarter EP fund-raising project. We have just about 2.5 weeks to go on this Kickstarter campaign and can't believe the support we keep receiving. We definitely have some of the best friends, fans, and family in THE WORLD!

Sounds like Patch will be dressing up as little Bo Peep and singing in Time Square soon as funds were raised for that! If our friend Trevor raises another 200, Mitts will have to join him as a sheep....all filmed for your viewing pleasure. So if that peaks your interest, email us on how you can help make it all happen! haha.

We just played a couple last minute shows around Astoria (Cronin & Phelan and The Quays) to get people excited and stir up interest in our noise. If you have made it out, we hope you enjoyed it enough that you'll throw a couple bucks at our EP via Kickstarter preorders!

Please tell and share us with anyone you know and help in spreading the word. We can't wait to get it done and get out to play for you soon!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

1 Week Update on Kickstarter, Already 1/4 there?!?! WOW!

AMAZING! THANK YOU So much for all the support after only 1 week of the campaign! We can't believe that we are already 1/4 of the way to our goal in such a short time, but we are still a long way off from reaching $12k.

With your help, we can do it.  Please tell your friends and family about the site and if you haven't pre-ordered your copy of the album yet, its the best way to do so!

Onward to 2012!

So once again for the 100th time, late getting a post up in regards to The Alphabet Lounge show and what we have planned for the rest of 2011 into 2012....damn.

Well, The Alphabet Lounge show was a lot of fun and we were psyched to have everyone there to celebrate our last full show before we close out 2011.  Sorry to end the year so early on our end but we wanted to focus as much energy into building the set with new tunes, hone the current ones, finish the EP, and be ready to rock your faces come early 2012!

Speaking of the EP, its coming along, and we hope to have it all done by December 2011.  Official release will be somewhere in January/February.  But what is the most important thing to mention is we are preparing to launch the opportunity for you to take part in the completion of the EP!  We are opening up a Kickstarter Fund-raising campaign to help fund the album so we can get it out to you ASAP!  There will be all kinds of rewards for you to get your hands on based on donation size like Clatty Lads merch, hard copies and digital copies of the album, get your name on the album, and even the opportunity for us to play a show for you and your friends in NYC in your honor!!  Stay tuned for more info on that to be coming out shortly!

Thanks for all your support, will keep you updated on the happenings in The Lads, prepare to get the party started!!

P.S.  A HUGE Thank You to Adrienne Pope for her new Clatty Lads logo design, we hope you all like it! We love it and will be using it and more as the EP and Merch is created!!  If you have any graphic design needs, definitely contact us, and we'll put you in touch with Adrienne!
