We started about three years back playing Irish trad stuff and some covers, all acoustic. We added bass & drum in fall '05, started playing shows in Jan '06, and have thus far had the good fortune to come a long way since then, playing with a lot of bands we love and seeing places up & down the West Coast that we would have never seen were it not for this band. Of course there have been a few bumps in the road, but for the most part we have grown, learned, and shared adventures together. So far it's been a fucking blast and we look forward to the future and the new places we'll be going. Look for us in your town this summer as we set sail on our first US tour in August. We might even leave your town standing if yer lucky...
We're not huge into politics but generally we believe in equality, thinking for yourself, and everyone's rights to basic human freedoms. There's a lot of bullshit that goes on in this world and if people could UNIFY, get past petty shit, get some solidarity and actually work together on the BIG PICTURE, then maybe the punks and skins could actually have the impact and make the difference that we've all wanted to make for so long. Oh yeah, we're also big into exploring this amazing planet that we live .. all the really cool places get clearcut and bulldozed) and we also tend to drink way too much. But shit, you only live once so we're gonna have fun while we're here.
CHEERS to everyone who has come to our shows and supported us on the way! A tour & new tracks are on the way for 2008!
