Thanks to everyone who got their hands on the new EP over the last couple weeks and let us know whether by email, in person, Facebook, and Twitter what you think! We are still riding the high from the amazing SOLD-OUT Mercury Lounge show in NYC on March 9th. Amazing support from fans old and new...we can't wait to play for you all again soon...you blew us away!

We have been hearing the songs from the new EP played across National TV via Fox, Internationally from London to the US via internet radio, and press items jumping on board to help get our music out even more. To you all, THANKS, we'd love to see and do more! Here are a few of the new press items:

- Sharkey was interviewed by a paper back in Cavan, Ireland (The Anglo Celt):

THANK YOU so much for everything you have done and everything you will do.

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!

Cafe' Wha? NYC....Check! Onward to the new year!

We played the Famous Cafe' Wha? in NYC?? REALLY? Dylan and Hendrix stomped there?!?! NICE!

What a great experience we had playing for you all that made it out to Cafe' Wha and the crew at the venue.  Great vibe, lots of help, and we look forward to coming back for another round soon!  Playing on such a historic venue's stage like Wha?'s gets you psyched to see what could be next on the list of The Lads TO DOs.

For now, the next and last show of 2011 for us will be Saturday, October 15th at 7:30 PM at The Alphabet Lounge (104 Ave. C, NYC).  The reason it is an early last show of the year for us is so we can focus on getting the upcoming EP all wrapped up in the studio for you and start planning the early 2012 shows ahead of time to get out there, show you new material, and get a copy into your hands!  Keep checking in here and on our Facebook or Twitter pages for how you can be part of making this album soon.  We'll have some behind the scenes looks for you and other goodies!

So come on out Saturday October 15th and celebrate the end of The Clatty Lads live in 2011 with a round or two, or three, or...whenever!  2012, we'll be ready to rock you anew!

As always, thanks for the support, STAY TUNED for exclusive content!

Stay Tuned to hear how you can be a part of The Lads!

Lads Rock Arlene's Grocery 07/20/2010!

Hoooooooo--YA! So much fun on a night we've been anticipating for so long now. Not only was the response a super positive one, the drinks were flowing, and the music a beatin'!

Thank you so very much to everyone who came out on a school night to rock with us. It was all very humbling as usual, can't get away from that with great friends, family, and new acquaintances. But why would you want to?

Arlene's is such a fun venue and so many bands we look up to have played there at the beginnings of their musical careers...lets hope its a dash of good luck! This was just the first strike and the fire is just starting. The next show will be even better, we don't even know what's possible!

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for some photos, video, and audio to be posted shortly. A million trillion thanks to our buddy John Walsh for shooting our first promo photos as well. Can't wait to see em'.



Kingston is our next stop this summer and we hope to see you all up there!

More songs to bring to the stage shortly!
