USAhhhhhhhh…..
So we recently took a whirlwind trip around the States. First off we hit up Austin for SXSW which was crazy, fun and melty hot. Then We flew up to Canada for 1 day approx for CMW which was crazy, and also melty hot. Straight after our show in Toronto we flew to Boston where after a spot of bother at the US border we played 4 of the most memorable gigs ever, met some really nice people and had generally the best craic ever. Finally we hitched down to NYC where we played another 4 nights and got up to lots of mischief! Please enjoy a selection of our pictures from the trip. xxxxxx
