Hi All,
So we've got this friend who owns a farm out in Skibbereen, and she says if we come over and play her birthday party, she'll let us use the house to record our next CD. Our singer Pete even managed to talk Richie Ramone and Cait O'Riordan into being our rhythm section for it, which is pretty goddamn neat, IMO. This one's going to be all original songs (no covers, no traditional Irish tunes), and we have a Kickstarter page set up here:

If you find it in your heart, please help (If you don't, no worries). We've got some pretty decent premiums for folks who donate as little as $10. I'm most likely not going to be able to record in Ireland myself due to scheduling/financial issues. But it's definitely a cool opportunity for an Irish-American folk punk band to actually record in Ireland.

pretty much everything in this post is awesome...except the bit about you not going to Ireland.

Yeah, I wish I had the cash and time to do it, if for no other reason than just to go back to Ireland (and maybe get a tattoo there...). But I gotta make rent and car payments first. Those people tend to get cranky when you up and leave the country without paying them.
