Hello all,
Summertime is here, and the gigs are starting to pile up!
Firstly, huge thanks to all who showed up and enjoyed us at this years Dublin Docklands Festival, we had a ball, played 4 gigs on the acoustic stage in glorious, fantastic weather, the mood up there was amazing and as for the food, well, all I can say is those garlic prawns were what kept us all going all weekend! Here's to next year!
We're in the process of putting the finishing touches to our new dvd - it's taken us soooo long to finally get here, so massive thanks to Lofty & Bertie, without whom this wouldn't have been possible. It'll be on the site as soon as possible.
We'll also have a CD out soon enough, it's a live CD, so rough and ready, but you'll get the idea of what we're all about. Will be available to buy at gigs, or you can send us an aul email and we'll post one out to you.
Plans for the Spraoi festival are afoot, or should I say 'ashore', looks like it's gonna be a deadly weekend (as always) so mark it in your diaries people, it's gonna rock!
Big thanks to Waterford Arts Office, who saw fit to sub us a few quid - much appreciated!
And best o luck to Simon, our sexy lil snare drummer, who's off to work in a bar in Alicante for 2 months - never worked an honest day in his life, so we're looking forward to hearing his tales of workin for da man!
Dats it for now, see y'all in Limerick on July 4th, and elsewhere around the country in August/September.
Peace out y'all

Hello all, how's it all going out there in the real world? Delighted to say we've finally got the website figured out, so we can post things up more regularly without having to bother our poor site designer all the time! We'll be putting up more pics of last years adventures and some movies 'n' stuff too. If you're really stuck and want to rekindle those old memories of our half naked antics, just search on youtube for Torann, and you'll be satisified!
Delighted to announce the arrival on the planet of the first lil Torann baby. He's already shaping up to be a possible lil drummer boy, but I think his da would prefer him to be a prop on an international rugby team! Big up to Cillian from all the band, we're that awful racket that disturbed you in your Mothers belly last summer!
If you're floating around the metropolis of Dublin during the Patricks Festival in March, come along to Merrion Square on the 16th (Sunday, you're all off, it's a bank holiday weekend, you've no excuse!) where we're playing with other international groups as part of the Big Day Out. Hopefully it won't be as cold or snowy as last year, so maybe, just maybe, you might see some topless action! Then it's into the fun bus and back to Waterford for a gig at Traffik in the Forum later that night - definately some topless action there, I reckon! And then some of us get to participate in the parade the next day - we'll say no more of that tho!
We've also signed up to a site called Band For The Day (http://www.bandfortheday.com/) where you can view us, play our song and vote for us to be the sites 'band for the day'. There's a live recording of one of our tracks on it, apologies for the dodgy quality, but you never know, we might one day be their 'band for the day'.
Thats it for the mo, keep an eye on the site for new pics and stuff, and we'll have more news of gigs coming up, wonderous events happening and general social commentary.
