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!

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.

2010 Wrap Up - DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER PRIDE!

So long since the last update here on the ol' webpage!  A lot happened and then a lot did not happen as we all get busy now and again!
 

photos: john walsh

We wrapped up the summer at our first Crash Mansion show with good friends old and new.  Great times there and we look forward to doing it again...maybe someday we'll put a use to that back room with all the stickers?  Felt like we should have been spilling booze, telling jokes, and talking shit more privately....nah, whatever, we would rather hang out with everyone anyway!

Over the past bit since we last talked, new songs have been in the works and a revamp to the show is happening.  If you got anything you want to see us do, send it to us and we'll do our best to make it happen! Whether its Sharkey dressing up as a leprechaun and singing Lucky Charm, Dave dressing in drag, or Patch going for that Trailer Park sickness....wait, they do that already...oh well, get creative.



We're wrapping up ol' 2010 where we begun the year's shows, Arlene's Grocery!  Awesome sound, great people, liquid drinks.  Come hear the new tunes on December 8th, at 9:00 PM.  It's getting cold out there, but we'll keep you nice and warm....

Double wide trailer pride don’t it feel great,

Got the jukebox pumping out some Willie and Hank,

All my rowdy friends on the hunt for some skank,

So put them beers in the air you all can relate!
