Too much news!
I've been a bit lazy with the internet of late! So much news has built up! So in no particular order:
* Shayne Byrne departed his ways from ours and is forging ahead with his solo career with break neck speed! Listen here:
http://shaynebyrnemusic.bandcamp.com/
* We have recorded, mixed and mastered our second ep, Winter's Requiem, which is still open for having a cover done for it, for which there be prizes!!!
* My daughter Emma turned 1! I promised to make her some Hydrogen gas, but as of yet I have not found a suitable storage device.
* Brian was made redundant! Yipee! ;)
* Myself and my partner bought a house and have been doing it up for the last few months... Which is the main reason all has been quiet on the internet/music front. The hard work is mostly done so I'm revving up again with the booking the dates and all that jazz.
* Leslie Nielson died :(
* We were on the telly... TG4 counts right?
Ok so I can't remember most of the stuff that's happened since we last blogged... Sorry!
We played in Tullamore recently at the Irish Decompression, which is a Burning Man related project... We had serious reservations... Well, I say that, Brian had reservations, I thought it would be jolly good fun! In fact it was so much fun I couldn't enjoy it! We didn't plan for that much fun, that was the problem, and had to go home while the night was still young! Needless to say we'll be back next year, if they'll have us.
P.S. Brian came out the far end of the experience with a big smile on his face, though that had a lot to do with the alcohol he had consumed...
The next post involves free music!!!

April Showers Tour and Tall Poppy Club lovelyness
We played at the Tall Poppy Club in the Spirit Store last night (Wed 03/03) and I just wanted to say a big thanks to Ken and Stephen for having us back!
The Tall Poppy Club is a sessions type night held every month downstairs at the Spirit Store in Dundalk. It takes place in what I assume is an old living room. We've played there twice now and are looking forward to returning already!
Both times we've played we've gone full on acoustic, though there is a PA there, and this time we felt a lot of quiet love!!! I think we sound our best in that room...

Get Your Crayons Out!!!
News and EP Artwork Competition!
We have been locked away in Cellar Studios for the past two weeks laying down demos for our next release, tentatively titled 'Se Débrouiller.' We've recorded a lot of tracks and will be recording a lot more in the weeks to come, so look out for little sneak sonic peeks in the future.
We'll be back in the studio after our upcoming tour (more details on that coming very soon) to get the job done all proper like. We're pencilling in, very lightly so it can be erased easily, an early July release/tour.
The Competition!
We are running a competition for the cover of 'Se Débrouiller' with some spiffy prizes going to the winner!!!
All one has to do is send us an email (arrowinthesky@gmail.com) with ones cover design idea before the 1st of May.
We will then pick the best cover and hand the prizes on over!
Send us anything from stick men to photographs to finished Illustrator images!!!
The Prizes!
The winner will receive:
- A 12" canvas print of their artwork as it appears on 'Se Débrouiller' signed by the band.
- A signed copy of 'Se Débrouiller' before it gets released to the general public.
- 2 signed copies of 'Do What Thou Wilt,' both the ltd. ed. first run and the reissue digipack which has slightly different bits and pieces! (More on that soon!)
- Free entry to the show of your choice, backstage passes and all that jazz.
Best of all:
- Arrow in the Sky will come and play for you and your friends at your house!
Two runners up will receive a copy of both E.P.s!
All entries will receive a free mp3 of an unreleased track!
Send your entries to arrowinthesky@gmail.com with the title EP COMP to be in with a chance of winning.
Closing date is 30th of April.

According to Plan
I guess things don't always go that way!!!
Back in October, we were planning to keep ourselves as busy as possible right up til the end of the year. Then Shayne moved to Carlow. Then my girlfriend went and had a baby! So we decided to cool the jets until 2010 and make it a year for arrow.
Allow me to present my little baby Emma;
So everything I said in October will now begin!
Conor.

Welcome
Here we shall blog, podcast, whatnot, etc, et. al.!
Right now Shayne is in Ballinasloe engineering sound at a festival. Brian is in Athlone playing with Darragh J. And I'm sitting at a computer typing...
Just watched 'Fireflies in the Garden', I had my doubts but it was actually quite enjoyable really!
Where we are at
The plan at the moment looks like this:
We've got enough cash moneys to print up the next batch of eps. It'll come in a lovely digipack with new artwork... Maybe!
Once that's printed we'll have it in a select number of stores and obviously still sell it online and at gigs.
Next we'll be doin an Irish tour, something like the last 17 days straight, or maybe a little less and more spread out.
Then we'll look at playing some English dates.
That should bring us up to the end of the year when we'll turn our attentions to recording number two... We've got stacks of new material, some demoed, some not.
Keep checking back for more as it happens!
Conor.
