New Pics
After our gig at the Milton Inn on Friday where we had our photos taken by wonderful Clydebank photographer Billy Byrne, we have posted them here on our website.
A huge thanks to Billy for his generosity and hard work. I’m sure you agree, the pics are just wonderful. See them on our new “Pics” page.

Milton Inn this Friday
We’ve been busy bees of late, not only rehearsing up even more new classic and modern rock songs for your ears’ delight, but several band members have been on holiday for last few weeks, so last week’s gig at Hamishes Hoose in Paisley was sporting the remnants of the suntans.
Thanks to all at Hamishes. It was a rerr wee gig, packed to the rafters, with loads of appreciative comments about the band. And thanks to the Ikettes, or the “Auld Craws” as we like to call them for helping us out with the dancing. And talking about dancing, May the mad dancer had to be seen to be believed. Have you ever seen anybody do a jive to Comfortably Numb? Naw us neither and we wur in stitches.
So, another 4 new songs under the belt, more in the pipeline. We’ll be running out the new songs this coming Friday at the Milton Inn, Milton, near Dumbarton. Shaping up to be another great night, not least as we have our farthest-flung-fans coming to see us all the way from Vancouver, Canada.
See you all on Friday.
SHOOT THE CRAW
Mon the Craws!
After another very successful night on Saturday night at Falkirk’s legendary “Behind the Wall”, I think we can safely say that we’re well into our gigging stride now and we’re enjoying every minute of it. Everywhere we go we get amazing feedback and it eggs us on to challenge ourselves even more with the new songs we choose to put in our set. Who wants to hear the same old run-of-the-mill rock songs that ever band and his granny plays? We think discerning audiences deserve more and we continue to push the boundaries and hopefully keep our standards high.
Thanks to everyone – staff and punters alike – from Behind the Wall who were very friendly and chatty. The feedback was so great that we’ve already secured our return gig there, so put it in your diary folks – FRIDAY 15th June. The place also does great food, so why not make a night of it and get yer dinner first?

Our next gig is this coming Friday, 16th March. We’re set to storm the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond at the Tullie Inn, which is a fabulous venue not only for live music but, again, for food. And I can vouch for that personally as we do like our Sunday dinner there on occasion!
Get your rock socks looked out and see you on Friday!

Telstar, Old Kilpatrick this Saturday
It’s been a wee while since we blogged and purely and simply that’s been down to illness in the Shoot the Craw camp. We had an amazing gig in the Clockie recently and we’re in the middle of sorting further gigs with them, but immediately after that gig, Marj ended up with flu which has banished her to bed for 2 weeks. Luckily there were no gigs last weekend, but hopefully the corner has been turned and we’re all gearing up towards this Saturday when we’ll be playing in the Telstar Bar in Old Kilpatrick.
It’s a busy pub so be early if you want a seat.
See you Saturday! Sex drugs and sausage rolls

We’re set for a Rockin 2012
The contacts we’ve made with good pubs we’d like to play in are becoming very fruitful as the gigs and coming in great. It’s shaping up to be a rockin 2012.
Thanks to the wonderful staff and punters at the Eagle Inn in Prestwick last Friday night. We were made to feel so welcome and the feedback we got from staff and pub-goes alike was incredible. It was a real pleasure and we’re sorting out with the booker to return to Prestwick again this year so stay tuned for that.
Next gig is the “Clockie” – Clockwork Beer Company on Sat 4th Feb. A nice local Glesga gig so a chance for family and pals to come and see us as well as the Sou Side locals. We’re also going to be testing out some new material on the unsuspecting public for the first time which we can’t wait to do.
See you then!

So THAT’S what you look like
Aye that’s us. And poor John oor stick man is always the poor sod hidden from view (or maybe he designed it like that???)
It’s 2012 – Gies a Gig!
Well we are from the west of Scotland … but HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our subscribers and people who have dropped by to see what we are all about.
Well it’s New Year and having spoken to loads of pubs before Christmas who said “contact us again in January”, if you’re one of them and are reading this, we’d like one now please 
Seriously, the end of last year was busy and a wee bit fraught as our keyboard player decided to leave due to family commitments. He’s actually the brother of 2 of the other guys in the band so won’t be going very far lol, but having tried another couple of keys players, we’ve decided to continue as a 5 piece, but working out our arrangements with our 2 guitarists and possibly the singer on keyboards in some songs, or parts of songs. Versatility is the key. So with this going on, we weren’t actively pursuing gigs.
Now we are! So if you are a pub, bar, restaurant, having a birthday, whatever and are looking for a dynamic live band to blow those new year jitters away, contact us now. We’re filling up the diary now.
Eagle Inn, Prestwick next week which we’re looking forward to enormously.
See you in a venue near you soon.

New Video – Rosalie

Ferry Gig – The Dogs Danglies
Well … WHAT a night!!! If you weren’t there as part of the 500 strong crowd, where were you?? An amazing night was had by all, the feedback we got after the gig was out of this world. Three top class live bands and raising, I believe, in the region of £4,000 for a fantastic charity in the process. Thanks to Colin of the Sasperillas for asking us to be part of it. The Ferry is a fab venue and we would love to do it again next year.
Here’s some live video footage and pics from the gig.
Rhu Inn next week. See you there!
