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

There were tears.

Then it was off to foggy London town, with some Paul Simon Classic albums on the way!

After the gig in London we stayed with our good buddies the Cast of Cheers. The chili carnage continued…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Taken by Alan Moore

So here it is Merry 12th of December and to celebrate this wonderful Monday we give you our recording of ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ originally performed by Darlene Love in 1963. Written by the always crazy Phil Spector for the Christmas compilation album ‘A Christmas Gift For You From Phillies Records’, this free download is Squarehead’s gift to anyone who came to the gigs, bought our album or just ‘liked’ our Facebewk. Recorded by our main man Fiachra (Tiny P) McCarthy, it features the usual heads plus backing vocals from the Squarettes made up of Saileóg O’Halloran and Lucy Smyth. It was also mastered by our go-to sound master Stephen Quinn. So why not spread a little cheer and share this with your friends and families.

Merry Christmas,
Lots of love from the lads,
Roy, Ian & Ruan

TG4 Galway trip

This week we went out to Galway to film a cupla songs for TG4 and our good friends Tieranniesaur were filming the day before us so we all went together and had a grand ould time.

We stopped into this place for food and a bunch of spanish dudes on a stag we’re banging out tunes in full get up.

Ian liked them, I think.

Padraig was not so convinced.

We got some sweet ass rooms in a swanky hotel. Ian looks like he’s about to roger me in this pic but he mostly looks like that.

Enjoying conversation in the hotel bar. Shwangky!

Annie.

They had palm trees in the bar!

Ru Paul and Sal.

I had just figured out how to get the (wrong) date off my camera when I dropped it. yay! So the rest of the trip was documented on a disposable camera. I’ll put them up when I get them developed. Never….
