  • ~29th of January 2009~ The Swell EP Launch

    Wow, quite simply, that is how we all feel about the night. We're all still on a high after it and really can't believe how many people actually showed up, we're not sure of exact figures, somewhere in the region of 300 - 350, which is insane! Easily doubling the previous highest attendance for a Bootleg night, huge thanks to everyone that came along and listened.

    Big shout out for Burn Us Both and Elk who both played absolutely storming sets, also it was great to see them playing to a crowd and everyone not just turning up for us.

    Two years of hard work boiled down to that night and it really couldn't have gone any better. I think we all had a blast playing songs old and new (which we're glad went down well)

    We're playing a gig in Limerick next week alongside The Avalanche Effect and Sideproject, we'll be selling a few copies on the night so hopefully we can shift even more!

    Not really sure what else to say so i'll leave you with a few thank yous,


    Thank you to (in no particular order);

    Mark, the Bootleg night and the Pavilion for hosting the whole event,
    Chloe for sound on the night,
    Doc and Dan (Cello and Violin) for putting us all to shame with their musical abilities!
    Everyone who turned up to any of our gigs.
    Brian for his tireless promotion and general support of the band.
    Brendan O'Regan and Ross O'Donovan @ Data Recording studios for turning our noise into a quality CD.
    "Afro" for all the amazing artwork.
    Kieran Frost for photographing gigs, the launch and many more to come!
    Anyone who has listened and had an honest opinion.


    Friends and family, lost and found.

    Hi Patrick,

    Sorry no one got back to ya sooner! Really couldn't recommend Data enough, all the Cork bands are heading down that way at the moment, we're really happy with our EP, the two guys working there (Ross and Brendan) are sound out. We used the accommodation as it's included in the price plus the study is in the middle of nowhere! And yes the songs are from there, so judge for yourself!

    Cheers,

    Liam & Machismo
