THE TEQUILA TOUR! MARCH 2011

USA here we come!

Hey everyone! Well, Aine and I are just about to head off on our much-discussed and much-wished-for March tour in the USA. To warm up our wee tonsils, we are going to pop over to London first, to visit our mates Charlie, John & all the regulars at The Crown and Cushion in Westminster. This is where we played last year for St. Patricks’s Day (mayhem!) and we had a tough choice deciding to go back to the USA this year…so compromise is Friday and Saturday night in London, and then on to USA for our first gig there on March 15.

 So…this year’s USA tour is probably our biggest and bestest tour so far. It’s pretty hectic, as we are all over the Eastern and Southern  USA, and it’s a really cool mix of our favourite venues (Connolly’s, Charlotte, Asbury Park, Rattle n Hum NYC, Drew University NJ, Goatlips Pensacola) and some new venues, The Get Real festival in New York City, a late-night gig with The Frank Stalloners in The Bitter End, Greenwich Village, the incredibly cool Arlene’s Grocery in NYC, McHales Bar, Rock Hill, South Carolina for Paddy’s Day, The Dublin House, Memphis Tennessee, Paddy O’ Learys, Pensacola Beach, Flora-Bama, (between Florida and Alabama!), and (oh the excitement of it) The Kerry Bar in New Orleans. Lots of new places to visit, and lots of new people to meet…we’re very excited!

We also have some new music to bring with us: we have recorded a special CD for this tour with 6 songs – we have Niamho’s ‘Tequila’ recorded live at Peadar Kearney’s pub in Dublin, we have Aine’s tearjerker ‘Zoom’ recorded, we have the upbeat and happy ‘Somebody’, we have the risque ‘Johnny Depp’, we have Aine’s pop tune ‘Green Eyes’ and we have also recorded the ever-popular ‘Let’s Get Naked’. Ok, this is definitely not a CD to give the kids, but a few references to drinking too much and taking your clothes off is always good – By the way, probably the most famous version of ‘Let’s Get Naked’ is here on youtube with Jarvis, lead singer of US band Iglu&Hartly….

We’ll be performing these songs on our tour, and make sure you get your hands on the Tequila Tour CD if you’re at the gigs. OK…so here’s the schedule….

Coming to your town real soon!(Or close enough)

So…we will of course keep the blog updates as we travel and meet our old and new friends… we’d be delighted to see you if we’re coming near to where you are, and if you know people in the areas we are going, tell them to come along too! Thanks and make sure that wherever you are, you enjoy yourself this St. Patrick’s Day! xxx Surfchixxx
