back from tour

Well, we’re home from tour and want to say thanks to everyone who helped us out along the way. Thanks to Cal and his welder buddy in Dubuque, even though the trailer still broke!; thanks to Ray for being a great help in Madison and taking us to the Willy Street Pub for curds; thanks to Tom and the Staggerers in Ft Wayne for being rad, and to the Brass Rail for the PBR; thanks to Hutch for showing up with friends in Des Moines, even though it was after we played; thanks to Sleeping Under 47 for hooking up the great show at the House Cafe; and thanks to all our new friends and fans we met along the way.

We’re sad we didn’t get to play Cincinnati. It was a tough decision but since the sound guy and only one of the other four bands showed up, we decided to roll. Sorry to Suzy Trash who showed up and decided to play anyway. Had the sound guy materialized and had enough cables, we probably would have played. Maybe next time.

Random things:

We lost our beloved trailer in Iowa, then bought a “new” one on Craigslist 5 days later, in Iowa.
Here’s a list of places we ate at: Burger King, the Bank Bar, Hardee’s, Gas Stations, McDonald’s, Skyline Chili, Northside Slice, White Castle, Lord Stanley’s, Subway, Happy Wok, Willy Street Pub, Casey’s, Royal Mile, Truck Stops.
We played a lot of Hot Shots Golf on the PS2.
Chris threw a giant log into the Mississippi River but we didn’t get it on video.
Trevor drove the whole time.
Greg resisted the flirtations of 2 Irish lasses in Madison.
Brad lost his voice 5 times, then regained it.
Pat’s accordion got fixed, mostly.
Ben beat Angry Birds some more, read 2 1/2 books, and slept the latest.

We posted some photos and a video on Facebook – we’ll get them on here soon too.

awesome new Killigans St. Pat’s commercial!

Killigans updates – Honor available online – reviews

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:03:10 +0000

Hey all- here’s a quick update for your Sunday tea. We just finished up our CD Release shows in Lincoln and Omaha and want to thank everyone who came out and had a good time. We had a ton of fun playing with Gorilla Warfare and Learning to Fall at the early show at Knickerbockers, Bottlerocket and Filter Kings at the late show, and, Cave Kids and Parting Shot at the Slowdown. Thanks to everyone who bought a CD or something to wear. Sorry we sold out of some sizes, we will try to re-up our inventory before the next show.

A couple of people have posted Killigans reviews online in the past week, so check them out. First off, Audrey Kay reviews our Lincoln CD Release show here: http://www.slamomaha.com/music/review_articles.asp and secondly, John Bowles of PaddyRock.com reviews HONOR here: http://www.paddyrock.com/?p=258

Photographer Emir Plicanic took some great shots at the Knickerbockers late show, check them out here: http://www.emirplicanic.com/ns-files/killigans-cd-release-concert.php

A final announcement is that we have taken down the HONOR full album preview, but there are still a couple of tracks on the MUSIC page, along with selected songs from all the other recordings. HONOR is now available online (both CDs and MP3 downloads) at CDBaby.com – http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/TheKilligans1 so check that out. We should be up on iTunes and a handful of other sites within a short time too.

As always- thanks for supporting Killigans! We hope to play a show near you soon!
