Blaggards on Facebook We've got a band profile on Facebook now, and so far it's a lot more interactive than MySpace--come "become a fan" and contribute to the already-growing collection of fan photos, videos, etc. You can also listen to all 10 tracks from "Standards." And we thought SXSW was cool... INCREDIBLE turnout at Fadó's Paddy's Day festival in Austin this past Monday... without a doubt

It's that time of year again--Fadó will be blocking off the whole block of 4th Street between Lavaca and Colorado with a big tent and a massive stage. Blaggards will be hitting the patio stage @ 7pm, and then moving to the big street stage @ 10pm. Also make sure you stop by at noon for the Tea Merchants, featuring our boy, Chris Buckley. Check out Fadó's website for the day's full schedule.

The first leg of our 2008 tour is complete and was a big success--the coldest reception we got the whole trip was when we jumped into the ocean at Jax Beach (and Dunkin Donuts). We spent the first night at Culhane's--the Culhane sisters are great craic (like the Corrs, only talented). Good luck on the baby Mary Jane! Thanks to Holliann & Belinda for driving all the way to see us—it means a lot!

::: 2007 IN REVIEW ::: What a year it was! Turi Hoiseth left for San Fran, Brian Vogel came back (and left again), and James "Earthquake" Edwards ROCKED most of the year with us. Later, we were fortunate enough to land our new Blaggards Chris Buckley (of Tea Merchants), and Greg Main (of Academy Black, Honky, The Possums, and many others). We've never lost a step with Chris and Greg… one

Can't believe the turnout last Friday in Houston. We've been away TOO long and it was a THRILL to see our old mates (and new) @ the Continental Club. CHRIS BUCKLEY (the new Blaggard) is a monster! Thank you for making his debut unforgettable. His mind is blown and he loves Houston now! Trey Clark is, hands down, the best Texas-Rock act around. Mike, Russ, Berkley and Ron have brought this band

BLAGGARDS + THE TREY CLARK BAND This Friday, September 7, at the Continental Club Houston, we'd like you to come out and meet the newest Blaggard... fiddler CHRIS BUCKLEY! Also, the Trey Clark Band is EASILY the best and sexiest and cuddliest and coolest band on the planet (well, GWAR and David Allan Coe come close). Seriously, Trey writes some of the rockinest Texas sounds around... and makes
