Ran with those Wolves & Thieves!!

Once again, slackin, so a bit late on the update!

Wrapping up the year at Arlene's Grocery was a blast! Turn out, once again, amazing and full of energy. We can't say thanks enough times and probably never will, but we'll try, try again.

Alexaclibur was a hard act to follow but was a blast to play with to say the least. Great Guys!! The background was killer and sent the best vibes flying around the room! Hope to join up with them on stage someday in this new year for sure.


Played a few new tunes and we hope everyone liked em'...always in the works and always brewing up new tricks for yer ear drums. Get ready for a bunch more come the new year!


We will be hitting the studio next weekend to start laying down the old and new. Pump out something we're happy with aiming for a March 2011 release...Keep your eyes and ears open for that one! See you soon!!!



Setlist:


Shade Further Grey

Last Time

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!

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!

National Underground Blitz!

I know this note is coming pretty late being that we played The National Underground nearly 2 weeks ago, but it is not because it wasn't a killer show! It was definitely one of the best gigs we played all summer!
If you weren't there to experience it with us, imagine your friend's garage or basement, tons of friends and family, booze, and great vibes packing the place!  Total grunged out grooves mixed with everyone singing along was such a great time for all of us.  Thanks to everyone that was there and wishes they could have been.  We love those gigs that always suprise you.

See everyone tonight at Crash Mansion to wrap up our string of summer jams for the year.  We'll be taking a break writing new material (which is already in the works of course!) and recording a bunch of stuff too.  See you this winter when we'll all need some warm whiskey and killer lads music to stay alive!

KICK IT!

Cross off Brooklyn! Bar Matchless - Clatty Family Grows!

All photos by: John Walsh
How to even write a note about last night's show, no clue! So many friends, such amazing people, old and new...the support, love, and all around good times....YOU MAKE THESE SHOWS FOR US!!

The Clatty Family grew by 2 more Lads as Matt and Mary Knapp joined us for our first great night in Brooklyn at Bar Matchless. Matt's pedal steel we hope will grace us at many more shows and many more songs in the future. What an amazing talent to only be bettered by his wife Mary singing beautiful harmonies!

Cheers to the people over at Bar Matchless for taking care of us and making the food, brews, and hospitality so welcoming. We hope to make it back out there soon, and hopefully this time the G train will work! HA! Sorry to everyone that got a little re-routed because of that, but we appreciate the energy and dollars spent making the trek anyhow!




We hope you all loved the debut of "Six Pack Of Tears" on this very special night. Enjoy the amazing photos taken by John Walsh and video to follow from Chris Bottzoni in the near future. We owe you guys a ton for the art you create!




 The Lads @ National Underground is our next endeavor of the summer on Tuesday, August 24th at 9:00PM, so make it out before it's over!!!

Good Luck! THANKS! YAR!
