hey there, this is informal :]
we met Kieran, and Ryan outside your last show in new york, at the webster. My girlfriend, our short friend with dreadlocks, and I were all waiting outside to meet one of you, and let you know it was us who through the secret note with a message on the inside for the band. We also mentioned to Ryan that you bring out the spirit of Music in a way we could only compare to the Grateful Dead (or in song writing terms, kinda more like Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter), and we love that about you guys. I have been at a loss for how to try to contact one of you guys. To see if you appreciated our message. The closest we got is you guys in the trumpet section gave us a wink and a thumbs up at your even more spectacular show in Boston the next night, there we were the ones with the sign combining the cat empire and the grateful deads icons, with the message love is free. Do you remember us? And what is a good way to reach you guys, we are some of your most dedicated friends/fans over here in the u.s. and we would love to promote for you guys officially (I've been spreading the word of The Empire to everyone who likes good music for about 6-7 years since my highschool days), or give you suggestions on setting up a show with a more intimate arrangement, with some of the more talented music in the underground of new england. This is message goes out with all the love in my heart and I hope it reaches you well. The Empire is always in our hearts, and we'll be at the shows in the u.s. in new york and boston either way. Though we would really really love to do anything so that we could chat with one of you for maybe a moment? :]
