Hi everyone and welcome to the new shiny beautiful web site. Thanks so much to Terry Sutton for putting this thing all together, he’s a real gem, and we love him for it. You might’ve noticed it’s been a bit slow in Dardanelles land so I thought I’d give a little bit of an update.

Matthew is working a bit on his solo career and is doing a concert at the end of the month that is going to be fantastic – if you like us, you like him so check it out if you’re in town. Aaron is hard at the books finishing up his degree at MUN and also doing some touring with the Irish Descendents and Kim Stockwood. Emilia is learning how to cure our ails in Med School (okay, so she’s in there for more than that, but I’m planning on using her to put bandaids on me) and playing regularly in sessions. Rich is dividing his time between his day-job as a server, and being a military man…he also tried parasailing lately…so…yeah. As for me, I took over the gig of hosting CBC Radio 2 Morning from Toronto, and as much as it’s a wonderful experience…it does unfortunately mean that I’m currently living in Toronto for a couple of years. So that’s all that.

However after taking a little hiatus, we’re on our way back. The new album has been released digitally so if you’re outside Newfoundland you can pick it up. We are so proud of this record and were so honoured to get the chance to work with John Doyle on it. It is without a shadow of a doubt our best effort yet. We’re also getting ready to do some dates around Canada this summer including some festivals, and we’re going to do something we’ve always wanted – a dedicated tour of Newfoundland. In the fall normal gigging will resume but in the meantime we hope to see you out on the road. Have a listen to the tunes and check out the new site!
