2 steps forward for every step back

Posted on August 13, 2008

Hey folks!

Liberty is finished!  We sent the files to the printer tuesday morning after a slight delay and should be ready by the end of the week.   We’ll have copies available at all the shows on our trip and will be putting up an online store on this site to sell both physical copies and downloads when we get back.   We also plan to make the mp3s available over iTunes and all the other big online music vendors.

Last minute preparations for the trip are coming along pretty well.  The show at the Loft in PA got canceled because one of the venues co-owners robbed the place blind and they had to shut down, which sucks.  So that’s one step back.  Fortunately we’ve got two more steps forward in the form of 2 new shows, one in Manhattan and the other in Philladelphia.  Our updated show list for the tour is:

Aug 21 2008 8:00PM
Puck’s in Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Aug 23 2008 10:00PM
Celtic Collision @ PUBLIC ASSEMBLY(formerly Galapagos) in Brooklyn (Williamsburg), New York

Aug. 25th 10:00PM
Tritone (http://www.tritonebar.com/) in Philadelphia, Pensyvania.

Aug 28 2008 8:00PM
CherryWood Bar & Grill Clementon, New Jersey

Aug 29 2008 12:00A
The Underscore in Manhattan, New York, New York

Aug 30 2008 8:00P
Barrington Coffee House and Cafe Barrington, New Jersey

Aug 31 2008 4:00P
COHENFEST (Private Show) CAPE MAY, New Jersey

As before, we really need to move pre-sale tickets for the show at Puck to keep the venue happy, so if you’re planning to come it’d be awesome if you could buy a few and get a group of friends to come with ya. Obviously we’re not in our home turf here and need all the help we can get getting the word out for all of these shows, so anything ya’ll can do to get folks out to the shows would be greatly appreciated.

And, for all our folks here on the west coast, I should mention that KVMR has started selling tickets for their annual festival in September and that if you buy ‘em early you can get a big fat discount. It’s 2 days of music and fun that you wont forget in a hurry, with some of the best celtic bands in north america playing - including Solas, Enter the Haggis, Molly’s Revenge, and a bunch more.   You can get your tickets at: http://www.kvmr.org/celticfestival/tickets.htm

Also, you may have noticed our website ahs been updated with the new album art - big ups to ArKar who did the paintings for us and EustinLove who did the graff art for the CD face! - and both our website and myspace feature streaming versions of several of the new tracks.  So check those out if you haven’t already.

See ya’ll at the shows,
