Bought the CD a while ago - from my local independent record store I'll have you know - and it's in the mix on my mp3 player as the only rock amongst all the septeto, rumba, and the like. Loaned it to my boss, who is a big GodSmack fan and he really liked it. Sooooooooo the question isssss. When is the tour?

No concrete dates as of yet but we should be in the usa in jan . Will post up here and let you know .Congaplace people on the guest list !

What size venues are y'all looking at? I'd love to see you at the Southgate House, which is the coolest venue around here, but might not be big enough. Then you could do an in-store at Shake It Records which is our local independent record store. A rare gem these days that has always supported music and musicians, local and otherwise, and even has there own label.

A fella can dream anyway.

PS. Our local Fox TV affiliate has been real good about putting on local and touring acts on their morning news. Just putting on my very small time promoters hat and you guys are probably much bigger than what I'm thinking.

Not sure yet as nothing is booked but i will let u know asap man .

Congrats! That's a major undertaking, wishing you much success in the zany music bsusiness world.

Here's a fairly new local act that is doing a similar take on rock. http://www.myspace.com/acaryaband

Congrats for being in on this progressive project! I hope that you are treated well and get all the respect that you deserve! Thanks for sharing! Hooray for the use of traditional instruments in contemporary music!

I just did some side by side to make sure, and there is a lot that compares, but mainly thinking about it being rock with non-traditional, non-typical percussion. They have a full time kit player so it doesn't stick out as much all the time but y'all are traveling down some of the same roads to my ears.

Help me out here boys and girls. Give a listen to both and tell me that I'm not crazy.

Hi Robert ,

The track i listened to had no percussion at all that i could hear , will check them out again . Cheers .Niall .

Well into the usa/ canada tour at this stage . Columbus ohio tonight , tour is going great with some smashing reviews so far .Will post some pics and reviews / vids etc when i can .Cheers dudes ! Niall ..

Keep having fun Niall
