The Mcmanemins!

[Seven]

So I really like these guys and hopefully they will be selling their cd at the missy gig as Im kicking myself for not buying it last time... but Ill be damned if I knew how to spell it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o


Hope I finally spelt it right.

[lozzy]

is this the brother and sister? and the guy plays violin? and he played with missy for cactus??

[Cactus]

Yes he played with missy for me. hmm

yeah I was at that gig in syd where he played Cactus with Missy.

They were pretty good.

Cactus

[Seven]

yeah he played with missy but they also had a support gig as well , loved them!

[Yaz]

Yeah i heard them on the j's the other day, it's sorta country.
I like their song wayside

[Seven]

does anyone know if they have a website or anythin? :)

[jademonty]

yeh didnt he play violin on the max sessions with missy?? i thought the name sounded familiar

[bek]

yeh didnt he play violin on the max sessions with missy?? i thought the name sounded familiar

yep that was him! :D

[jademonty]

yep that was him! :D
sweet thanks champ :D

[Seven]

hey so how did these guys do in the past couple of shows supporting missy?


after going to about 6 different record stores and looking like a total idiot when asking for their cd, apparently i have a funny accident saying their name .. or so my friend thinks :mad:


anyhow i finally got the cd today... very good stuff :)

[Seven]

anyone whos seen the past 2 missy gigs do they remember these guys singing "alambama:" ?


I just got memories back from missys enmore gig back in april.. with the song that goes ... was it ever so true... was it anything like there for u... was it anythin like f*&in in a phone booth... " anyone rem this song.. its bloody great lyrically and instrumentally!!! :D

[what]

i dunno. they were flippen awesome though. took ages to get into the venue, so i only caught about 2 songs. but they were awesome. ash was great too

[Seven]

thats stupid, so they put them first whilst people are still trying to get in.. aww i only wanna see them and ben and missy. i dont wanna see ash , jen and the rest as much. so i wish theyd put those on first :(

[what]

get there early! the line is pretty bad. they opened the gates about 10 minutes late i think

[Seven]

that sux.. whats sux more is i have no idea of how the syd gig will go , for 1) ive never been to a gig at cenntennial... 2) i am still not sure in which park they are doing it at ... 3) freakin 20 thousand ppl.. where are the gonna fit all these people... so yeah as for keeping it all under control... beats me!!! but I def. wanna see the mc's perform.. but dont wanna line up too early.. decisions decisions.

[lozzy]

seven do you know who i could call or email about the sydney gig? like ask where abouts in centennial park it is.

Yeah they did that song at the Perth concert! I liked them, the violinist was great!

At the Perth concert they were playing while people were still coming into the gardens! I don't think everyone would've seen them! Yeah so you should go early if you wanna hear them! and they didn't play many songs I don't think either. but they were still pretty good! :D

[Seven]

Ive actually read some where the exact park name (i forget where) but if i was u id either get in contact with cenntennial park the organisers or ticketek should know.


Im just gonna rock up at four and go where the crowd is. :)


PS thanks for that breaki... sounds good! :)

The Vanguard
Date: November 24, 2005

HI All!

We are doing a Special show at The Vanguard on the 24th
November to celebrate and finish off our first National
Tour.

Juan Alban (Epicure) and Tim Ireland will be our Special
guests on the evening and it should be a beautiful night of
music.

The Vanguard is of course our favourite Sydney venue and
they have supported us for some time now, it will be great
to finish off the year in such a beautiful and intimate
setting.

Make sure you book for dinner and show, or general
admission on line early as we are hoping this will be a big
one!

[:: katie b ::]

they're playing great escape. hot.

[Seven]

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).

Joel Plaskett
supported by The McMenamins
The Vanguard
Wednesday 19th April
doors open 7pm
book online
www.thevanguard.com.au

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.

The McMenamins.

[Seven]
