Crayonsmith joins Out On A Limb!

Crayonsmith has this week become the latest addition to Out On A Limb Records, the independent label based in Limerick, Ireland.

Crayonsmith is the music of Dublin's Ciarán Smith, with good friends Ruadhan "Big Fists" O'Meara and Ronan Jackson aiding on guitars, keys, bass and percussion.

In 2006, Crayonsmith's debut album "Stay Loose" was self-released on the Musical Voodoo label. Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous was so impressed by it that he personally asked Smith to support his band on their UK and Irish tour. Other shows since the release of "Stay Loose" has seen Crayonsmith play dates with The Decemberists, Islands, Juana Molina, Viva Voce, and Quasi amongst others. A solo US tour starts on March 21st, with a prestigious guest spot to Casiotone For The Painfully Alone (see dates below).

All at Out On A Limb were already big fans of "Stay Loose" , and a batch of new songs since have managed to even surpass that. These new songs are currently being recorded for the second Crayonsmith LP, due out around February 2008, and Out On A Limb is only too delighted to be involved in the release of this.

On another significant note, this will also be the first OOAL release to come from outside Munster!
