WetDaddy

There were an awful lot of sore asses last night. You know why? Cos you spent 35 minutes kicking them!

Yep, sounds like a Frat Boy compliment, but there you go. Really enjoyed ye're set last night though. You guys get better and better each time I see ye! Hooray for everything!

Hope you're not feeling it too much this morning, Bar...

Merry Christmas from all in Burma Shade


Next gig in the Sugar Club 25th Jan (tbc)

The Sugar Club, 25/01/06 Adm: €10/8 with Flier

Burma Shade return home to the Sugar Club for their first gig of 2006. There's 2 new songs in this nights set, so if you caught them before, you gotta catch them here! Also playing are the Maladies (www.themaladies.net) and an all together rare outing from Blue Sun.

This is the first in a series of nights titled "Unhinged" Unhinged is an anti pay to play/sell minimum tickets. This is important as Dublin unsigned acts needs something like this and if they're a sucess, they will continue. So be there!

WetDaddy

Will do my best to make it on the night!

gracehopper

Huh? that copenhagen air getting to you?:D

steveland?

Just back from the Annseley House. Great gig.

Particularly liked the "funky" song ya played near the end and the drummer going mental for the outro of the final tune. He even managed to do the throw it up and catch it routine with the sticks :v:

Does your drummer use double pedals? Sounded like they were going a mile a minute at the very, very end of the set.

Pity the place was so dead but at least yerselves, Gardner and Richie made the best of it...

Cheers man. Glad you enjoyed it.

Have to say - Annesley House really reminds me of all the venues from years ago - like Charlies and The Blue Room.

Great fun to play there.

Yeah Gav uses a double kick - I think (maybe he's just really quick:D )

We're playing Fri 24th in the hub. Will be a great gig... and it just so happens to be my birthday! Come along and get me hammered!

Re: your comment on my space

sorry i still haven't a clue how to use my space and it's not letting me reply to your comment cos im not my own friend?

anyway, back to warm, safe boards

Pod gig is part of POGO run by Bodytonic there every sat. They're a big dance/electronic organisation. We're the only live act on the night. The rest is all djs. It's a scene I'm quite into and we'll be adjusting our set as a kind of one off to accomodate that kinda crowd. I have been making electronic, dancey stuff on the side for a while so bringing my sequencers and drum machine etc with me and gonna do a bit of that before the live bit.

Glad you like the name. By the end of Fired For Theft our old band hated that name so glad we seem to have got it right this time.

CoNoR

Playing toinight in The Hub. Get your asses down there!!!!

Hello! Well, it's been quiet for a while, but we're back now! We're playing Radio City on Saturday 25th March Admission is a shocking €FREE yes that's right, nil, zip, nada. We'll be playing our first gig with our new drummer, Al. We won't be on til 12 or so, so get down there and shake your rumpa type thing

Papa.

WetDaddy

Alas I'll be at a wedding all weekend! A childhood mate is getting married... "First of the gang with a gun in his hand", etc.

But do a kick-ass show! And be sure to give the new guy a proper initiation. Google "GG Allin" for more info

Hi all

We've uploaded a new demo track to myspace from our growing list of demo stuff.
It's called "The Drought Song". It's chilled out/electronic/acoustic
number. Please have a listen and let us know what you think.

And bear in mind it's only demo quality

Cheers

Hey Mick,

I like it. I give it thumbs up. Two of them. In fact, if I had more thumbs, I'd give even more...

Honestly, I actually really like the effect that demo quality has given it. Makes it sound very "aged", which I reckon works well for the eery tone of the song. Yep!

Burma Shade will be playing Whelans on Wednesday 17th May at 8.30. As part of the JD Set, there will be free Jack Daniels given out at the start of the night.


WOO-HOO! FREE BOOZE! NOW WE'RE HITTIN THE BIG TIME!! lol
