CRAYONSMITH
Ciarán (Smith) has just returned from a very successful West Coast tour in the States (and Canada!). Here is a message from him: The US West Coast solo tour was a great success which saw me go from Vancouver to LA hitting everything in between over the course of one month. There's some new pics including me in front of the Goonie's house at www.myspace.com/crayonsmith. We plan to return as a band within the year so we'll keep you posted
On the Irish front, Crayonsmith be playing the Boom Boom Room, Dublin on Friday June 8 with the excellent BATS and Thinguma*jigSaw opening. We're also delighted to announce that they'll be touring with Ted Leo & the Pharmacists and playing with Monade (Stereolab's Laetitia's side project) at the end pf June.
Please check out The Vinny Club's excellent version of "Lock-In" from the 'Stay Loose' album made using a SID chip (used back in the 80's to write the music for Commodore-64). It's in the mp3 section on Crayonsmiths Myspace . Check www.myspace.com/thevinnyclub out also
