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!

Thanks again for all your support!!

We are calling out to all our great friends and fans to help us make this EP a reality!  Our goal is set at $12k and we have until December 7th to see if we can reach that goal with your help.  We want everyone that has supported us until now to be a part of it, so be sure to check out the rewards we are offering!

We are honored to have had so many opportunities to meet you all and this campaign will give us the funding to complete the album, get it into your hands, and get out to play for you more!  Please check out our fund-raising page here:

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!

And speaking of support, we are calling on all Clatty Fans to come have a brew with us at the famous Cafe' Wha? In NYC on September 22nd at 8:00PM!
