The Macs News - Canada & Joel Plaskett gig

March 27, 2006

HI Everybody, 
 
Well we are back from our first little overseas venture. 
Canada was very very cold. -20 degrees when we got there. 
But what a hot city. We had such a great time, made a lot 
of new friends in the industry world and the wonderful 
world of moosehead-hockey-loving artists. It sure was aboot 
time we made it over there eh.  
 
We are back and settled now and we have a string of 
exciting new shows coming up so stay tuned to the gig page 
on the website - they are all listed.  
 
So just quickly - here's the macs...  
 
NEWS! 
We are playing at The Great Escape (Newington Armory)on Sat 
April 15th at The Big Top at 12.35pm... so those of you who 
are going to be there - come on along. We just did a sold 
out show at The Vanguard supporting Jason Mraz which was a 
really fantastic night. What a voice that guy has. We have 
also just recorded a new single "How It Is" and our first 
film clip thanks entirely to the people at Red Rug 
Productions, and our very lovely extras - our family and 
firends. To say the least we are sooo very happy with it - 
it includes a few gorgeous shots of the new addition to The 
McMenamin clan, Simon's first born - Evie(and the 
inspiration for the song itself). 
I will put up a sample of the song next week, so you can 
check it out on the SONG SAMPLE page of our website. Lastly 
- apparrently we're big in Taree and we're pretty sure 
we'll be performing at the Taree 2bob Radio ball in August, 
which we reckon is gonna be thigh-slapping foot-stompin 
great fun. 
 
GIGS!  
Ok - what I would like to tell you all - is that we saw a 
guy at Canadian Music Week named Joel Plaskett which was by 
far the higlight of our CMW gig going experience. This guy 
is unreal. Seriously, not to be missed - and it just so 
happens that he is playing in Sydney in 2 and a bit weeks 
time.. and it just so happens that we landed the support! 
So here are the details - be sure to book early on the 
website, this guy is big in Canada and I'm sure he'll be 
big here so this show may sell out. Hence the early heads 
up. (Everyone keeps telling me I'm way too last minute bout 
these things).

If you want to see some really good stuff be sure to make 
it to this one. 
Thanks to all of you who have been sending me emails and 
showing your support. It means a great deal to us. 
And please do keep requesting us on the radio, the more 
radio play the more albums we sell and the more tours we 
can afford!  
 
Cheerie-byes.
