O'Malley's Pub and other updates...

We had an amazing trip out to Weston, MO to O'Malley's Pub! I think (no offense to every other bar we play) that O'Malley's has got to be in my to 10, maybe 5 of favorite bars world wide, including the 60 or so we drank in in Ireland! If you are ever in Kansas City, or Weston, get up to O'Malley's in Weston, the beer is great (It's a micro-brewery), the staff is warm and friendly, and the bar is 55 ft. below ground! Yes you read that right, the bar is in the cooling cellar of the 1842 brewery in a brick cellar 55 ft below ground, how cool is that!

Anyway, other than that, we've been confirmed for times at the Minnesota Irish Fair, we have 2 shows on Saturday, and 1 on Sunday, so I hope to see everyone out.

We have finished recording the CD, now it's up to our mastering engineer and graphic designer to finish up, then off to the presses, we are thinking 3-4 weeks until we have it in our hands, but it could be even sooner.

We've just been working and playing very hard, it feels like the summer is passing by too quickly, but that's life for ye'.

Anyway, I'll leave you with a video from O'Malley's, it doesn't do the bar, the crowd or the experience justice, but it's still pretty cool!

Another great online station

We've just been picked up by The Celtic Radio Network online, they have several online radio stations that can be streamed live, 24 hours a day. We are currently being played on the Highlander Radio, but they've also got Celtic-Rock-Radio, Salty Dog Radio, playing sea songs, and Celtic Moon, for a lighter side of Celtic music. The great thing about Highlander Radio is that you can go to the Celtic Radio page and REQUEST THE LANGER'S BALL, Just search for us (it helps if you click the "Exact Match" box) this will put us into more regular rotation.

Speaking of the online radio market, on Celtic Roots Radio, we are still at #1 for Raglan Road, and Little Beggarman has move up to #3! So log on & keep voting!

On another exciting note, we have finished tracking the new album. We go in today to start mixing it, we are very close!

That's all for now.

New podcasts, and success

Hey all, just a quick update. Thanks for voting for us on the Celtic Roots Radio, our song "Raglan Road" is number one in it's 1st week on the station! Keep voting, keep listening. We also were included on Radio Rebel Gael, Thanks to our old friend Rory for keeping us in mind and in rotation. We just had our album "As I Roved Out" reviewed in Germany by Celtic-Rock.de.
My German isn't what is should be, but I think they called us "Folk Purists" And they mentioned that the album "Was free of electric guitar and angry bass & drums". Either way, they are now playing The Galway Girl & The Jigs, so much thanks to Daniel & all the staff at Celtic-rock.de.

The CD is almost done, then it all goes to production, and we should be pretty close to on schedule, look for it to drop in July.

on some new podcasts & radio stations

It's been a very encouraging few weeks. We were included in the brand new PodCast at 67 music, they have a new show every Saturday. Thanks to Skot Cranmore, he's doing a bang up job in Portland and the entire Pacific North West, promoting Celtic music and now, podcasting.

We just had 2 songs selected to be in rotation on Celtic Roots Radio out of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since we were selected, I've been listening for 2 days straight, in addition to our music, Raymond McCullough plays a great selection of Irish and Celtic music from around the world. Check out his show, as far as I can tell, it is always streaming, and you can vote for your favorite songs (hint, hint, vote for s if you hear a song by us.) He's even got a show from our old friend & podcaster Marc Gunn. Thanks to Raymond, we'll keep listening!

And of course, our biggest & best thanks to our friends at PaddyRockRadio, We sent them some pictures and they have put it up as their profile picture on their myspace page. And John promises that there is going to be some cool stuff on their new show this Friday 5/22/09, so tune in this, and every Friday for the very best in Celtic Rock & Punk.
