Arrival

Hey all!

Greetings from the Big Apple!

Relief are in New York and loving it! Tonight we are going to play our 1st of 2 gigs in the States. It's a privilege to have been invited over to play such venues! Already the music shops have been raided here! Their is nothing in Ireland like the guitar stores here. Guitar Center.... Just walls of heaven!!! Craig has already hit up the drum stores and has more sticks now than Taylor Hawkins!

So tonight is Ulysses! An Irish ring to it. It's a short set tonight but let's hope we can bring the rocking hard! Then it's into some rehearsals for the huge Rock the Ink festival on 26th Oct. We'll post photos of our adventures as they come in!

The city has such a great energy which is inspiring for songwriting! So as you can imagine, there are alot of new tunes in the pipeline!

So what is Relief listening to as we travel around you ask?!

Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon
Death Magnetic - Metallica
The Fabled City - Tom Morello
Rearviewmirror - Pearl Jam
Guided by Ghosts - Codes


Abit of a diverse selection but keeps everything rocking! Codes are a new Irish pop-rock synth band that are really making waves. Check them out at www.codes.ie

As the days go by, more and more people are joining www.relief.ie and it's just phenomenal! Keep spreading the word!

Until next time,

Botham
