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!

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!

Studio Update & Cafe' Wha? Sept 22nd!

An update is well deserved after the great turn out and support at The Metropolitan Room last Wednesday.  The place was packed, Ryanhood killed it, and everyone had a blast...that's a win!  Thanks to everyone who came out and challenged us to bring it down a notch in volume, but up a notch in being intimate...oh, and we like to get intimate! Hey-O!

In terms of the EP, we are almost done tracking all the drums and getting them perfect to start laying everything else down!  The sessions at Stadiumred NYC are flowing fast and we are all excited to get it done hopefully by December.  So stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work on it.  Please visit our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/theclattylads) or follow us on twitter at @clattylads for photos, video, and more as the project comes together.  Also, we are currently putting together a kickstater video and page in order to give you a behind the scenes look as well as insight on how you can possibly get your copy of the EP at a discount for helping us get it done! 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! We'll be opening up for the amazing awesome Cafe' Wha? band so be sure you are ready to have a blast!! Did I mention, it's only $5!??! Gonna be great!!  See ya soon.

UES Support Thank You & Welcome Justin Brewer on Bass!

Thank you to everyone who made the trek to the Upper East Side on Saturday to support us in the UES Battle of The Bands Finals.  There was a lot of confusion we heard amongst everyone there, but we had a blast playing and loved all the kind words from friends old and new.  We've said it a million times and you will keep hearing it, but it all keeps us goin!!

Bittersweet news lead into this past show at Bar East as Dan Bailey, long time bass player and friend of The Lads, decided to chase his true interest and amazing talent in guitar and bring a bit more focus on his other interests.  He's an amazing musician and we are sad to have him go....Thanks for jammin' buddy!

BUT! On a sweet note!  Justin Brewer has committed to taking on the bass and those of you who made it out on the 16th were lucky enough to catch his first show as a  Lad.  We know he was psyched and look forward to working with him in the future, getting his chops rockin', and the good times ahead flowin'!!  Welcome to the lads buddy!!

Many things lay on the horizon for us, but we'll leave that to more news updates in the near future.  Keep your eyes and ears pealed as the summer approaches! We got lots of suprises for ya! Here we go!!
