You should edit your first post as the link there doesnt link to anything anymore and if I hadnt been diligent I wouldnt have kept reading through this post.

Shad0r · 06-07-2006 10:39pm

oh forgot to say when I eventually found the homepage I was impressed by your sound. If you guys are still interested in doing gigs get in touch with me.

I'm going to be putting on gigs in Dublin and Cork with any luck very frequently over the next two years.

One of our tunes "Watchmaker" seems to be getting a lot of good stuff said about it. It's live and it's loud... The way it should be!

You can listen to Watchmaker here

Very Jeff Buckley. I like the music, but I just can't get past the horrible, horrible off-key histrionic vocals.

You might be in for a good time! Judge by your own ears

McFiddler · 11-08-2006 9:32am

Hey how's things. Downloaded the songs you have on your website and have been listening for a while. Very impressive. What time do you go on tonight? Is there a cover?

Doctor J · 11-08-2006 9:45am

It's €7 in, doors are at about 7:30 and Burma Shade are on at about 9.

McFiddler · 14-08-2006 11:25am

Hey well done guys and girl. You put on a very good show friday night. It was a pity about the lack of audience members but I think you blew the socks off those that were there. I hope you get to play a longer set at the next gig! Where and when is it again? I know I was talking to one of you after your set, think it was one of the guitarists, but I was kinda hammered and can't remember what I was on about. Sorry.
Mojo Fury were brilliant as well! Any of those lads on boards?

Cheers man. Thanks for coming. Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah the crowd was a bit lacking alright. It was a last minute gig for us, so their wasn't a lot of advertising work done. Pity the the set was cut short also but we were on late and we would have eaten into the Mojo lads time.

Dunno if the lads are on boards at all.

Our next gig is Sat August 26th in Crawdaddy. Were headlining so it'll be a full set from us then. Might even do som acoustic stuff at the start. We'll see

Cheers

Mick

Dunno which one of us you were talking to but chances are they were hammered too.........:)

19-08-2006 8:20pm

Well, it had to be done. on here you can hear me making my vocal debut on this new fangled interweb thing

Holy Violent Femmes influence, Batperson!

But y'know, I wouldn't have made that connection if I hadn't known you were a fan. Nice voice you've been hiding from us though, dude. Good work. Rock on the BURMA!

Smiler · 21-08-2006 1:15am

It is with a sad and heavy heart that we at Burma Shade have to announce the sad and
sudden death of our bassist and friend, Barry Black. He was only 26.

This sad event happened last Friday 8th of September and was a sudden shock to us all. He will
be sorely missed by all his friends an family.

"The Rev" met his untimely demise while on a seal clubbing holiday in Alaska last week and
we feel that it's best to refrain from details as they may be too harrowing for some to handle.

Of course we will continue if only to honour Barry's memory. Replacing him will be a formidable task.

We feel that Barry will always still be with us in spirit and his spectral form will also be appearing
at a venue near you soon in his new rockabilly outfit "Citizen Sin". Unfortunately due to him loosing
his corporeal form, Barry will be relegated to Lead Vox as holding a bass would be a bit challenging
now - to say the least.

Farewell Baz - you were a good friend, band mate and only a c*nt half the time......

Burma Shade

Smiler · 10-10-2006 6:05pm

Say no more.........

Niall Diskin has taken the job.

Niall has been the touring bassist with Irish artist "Dara" since 2001 and can be heard on the his 2nd album "Dog Eared Memories"

He has been in jamming with us for the last few weeks and suffice to say that were chuffed and looking forward to his debut on the 28th of October in The Music Factory.
