What a Crazy Last Couple Weeks!!

For the billionth time, running a couple weeks behind on a Clatty Update for the legions of fans out there! So dearly sorry, do not storm our tenament! Long story short, here goes:



The benefit for Muscular Dystrophy was a huge success raising around $2500 for the cause. Thanks for all your support and we had a blast playing with all great local talent! Sounds like everyone had a blast. Also thanks a bunch to our friend JP for inviting us and shreddin' up Never Lonely on that slide guitar!!


Following that great time, we were given the HUGE Opportunity by the one and only Ariel Borujow to come up to the famous Stadium Red studios and start laying down the first track of the first OFFICIAL Clatty Lads album!! We have begun work on the first single and are planning on having it available as a FREE download to thank you all for your support and get you hungry for the rest of the tracks! The vibe, workflow, and miracles being worked in there are amazing. Mittens, Patch, Brewer, and Dave all blew through their cuts on Sunday with Matt and Sharkey just finishing most of their tracking Friday...so we are pretty much on our way to the mix! We will be posting videos, photos, and more as the process goes on so stay tuned for all those!!

On top of the studio dream, another great bit of news hit us that Monday when the one and only Don Imus (The I-MAN!) mentioned The Clatty Lads on air! WWHHAATT?? We were all psyched and blown away just by being mentioned on his radio and TV show. "HUGE!!" We thought...then Tuesday came when He played "Six Pack Of Tears" on air!!!! WHHHAATTTTTT again. Such an amazing thing to happen!! We couldn't believe it and can't imagine what more suprises The I-Man has in store! The track is available on "A Very Clatty Demo" so grab your copy on Itunes, Amazon, CDBaby, or wherever you choose!

So, sorry we have been busy with running around like chickens with our heads cut off cause we are so excited but we look forward to a few cold ones on May 20th with you all at Connolly's to raise money for The Oceja Family. Any bit helps and we'll grace you with some killer tunes with even a guest artist or two!

Psyched, groovin', keepin' that momentum goin! Thanks again for all your support, check out the tunes on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and more....we love having you sing along!!

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!!
