KEITH - R.I.P.

8th January 2009

It was with great sadness that we heard about the death of our good friend and long time Blood Or Whiskey supporter Keith

On our first trip to New York City in 2004 keith and his boys in No Place To Piss opened up for us over two nights in The Wall in Queens where a firm friendship was formed over two crazy nights of Punk Rock and drinking.

Keith and his partner Jo Jo became good friends to Blood or Whiskey and its was never a problem to them to put members of our our band up whenever a place to stay was needed on trips to NYC

Rest easy brother, our hearts and thoughts go out to JO JO at this difficult time..Slainte Blood Or Whiskey

"BACK FROM THE BRINK" European tour 2008

21st December 2007

Blood or Whiskey have regrouped and are back with a tour in March '08 supporting The Misfits across europe and Scandanavia and plans for a US tour are also in the pipeline. After a difficult 2006 when Tin Whistle player Alan Confrey died suddenly aged 33 on the last day of a UK tour supporting Stiff Little Fingers, the band have kepy busy writing a new record.

Things are looking up for the band that has more than its fair share of knocks over the years including label hassles (ongoing), bust ups, drink, feuding ex members, drugs, nervous breakdowns, hospital, Prison, and even death...largely ignored by the mainstream media the band have built a massive loyal fanbase worldwide from constant touring something thats not about to change as the band still have a resilience and a stubborness that no one can keep down.

2007 saw the band do 6 weeks all over Europe and two UK tours, on the homefront the band played to 10,000 in The Bigtop supporting Manu Chao at his request and a Xmas show in the RDS main hall with the legendary Pogues will top off a great year for the band

European update

24th August 2007

Thanks to the massive crowd that showed up to see us at the Rebellion festival, due to circumstances beyond our control the band had an appalling onstage sound in The Arena which made it really difficult to hear anything through the onstage monitors, hopefully it didn't spoil it for anyone that made the effort to come and see the band, Janer has put a couple of the tracks up on Youtube for anyone that wants to have a look.

Few last minute things to sort out, we are packing the passports and bags and getting ready to hit the European trail in the next few weeks, check out our tour page for a full list of shows, couple more to be confirmed before we hit the road.

For our UK fans we have two warm up shows on route, Friday 7th September we are in The Junction in Nottingham then onto M Club in Crewe on Saturday 8th, check local press for more gig details.

Travel day on Sunday 9th on route to Amsterdam then the first of 6 nights with The Misfits which we are all really looking forward to and also meeting all the other bands/fans on the road across Europe.

We will have a new line of Merchandising with us so be the first to get the new stuff before it goes on the website in the next few weeks...cheers and beers..

Hello and welcome to the new BLOOD OR WHISKEY website, We hope you enjoy it.
First up a massive thanks to Shay Murphy who looks after this webpage and keeps us afloat in cyberspace, check out his excellent site www.myspace.com/xhardcoretimesx

Some BOW news: We recruited a new bass player Peter Mullan some weeks back and we would like you to give him a big welcome into the band next time you see him, he cut his Blood or Whiskey teeth last weekend at the 2 UK shows and equiped himself really well, wecome onboard Pete.

We would like to give a big shout out to our last bass player and good friend Roe who helped us out on our last US tour and wish him well with his new band Droppin Bombs www.myspace.com/gerrup

Our European tour is shaping up really well, we start in Switzerland on 13th September and finish in Germany on October 5th, just a few more dates to confirm, check out the tour dates page for updates.

Because of the really tough past year the band have had, what with our friend and comrade Alan Confrey dying suddenly, bass Beano leaving and various other behind the scenes personal and business struggles, we have decided to call this tour - Blood or Whiskey "BACK FROM THE BRINK" Europe 2007 - (see Gigs page for dates)

We now have a new aural fighting machine going back on the road tougher, meaner, leaner and ready to take em all...no prisoners, see you at the bar or up the front in the pit.
