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!

Take a look at the special video we made for you and any help is greatly appreciated!

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!

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.
