.............. .. Dear friends,....
....
It's a strange day when you come on here to say your farewells, but alas here we are. With no intention of writing some kind of long eulogy to ourselves or anything of the sort, we did, however, all feel that what we achieved as The Dagger Lees (nee Stagger Lee) was deserving of a proper and final end and so a few words is at least fitting.....
The past 3 years have been one hell of a ride! From all the usual madness of being in a band and working and living with both of our lady rockers raising mini rockers at the same time, plus touring with some great bands, recording music we loved, writing, playing, falling down, getting up again..and lovin' every minute of it! Life has thrown many curveballs our way, and more than once we survived them, dusted ourselves off and got back to work. The past couple of months though have thrown some sad aul curveballs that have meant that the band couldn't continue in its current form, and as much as that pains us, our date with the Diamond will have to wait another day.....
....
All good things come to an end, and so to everyone who was involved with us in anyway - a sincere thank you! Much love must go to Robbie Thing, Leo Pearson, Benjo, Davey, Jessie, Susie, Dan Beatnik, Andy Motorsounds, Loreana, Paul, Jason, Kelley, Mandy, Una, Warren, Karl, James, Niamh, Sinead, Edel, all the Phantom Family and especially to the mini Lees - Dylan and Steven. And to our families for all their support and everyone who came to a gig, hummed a tune, had a dance, wrote about us, helped out with shows, took a picture, bought a song - a really big and very sincere THANK YOU from all of us.....
Each of us can look back on the dedication, love, blood, sweat and tears we put in to making Stagger Lee/The Dagger Lees, something we are really proud of. We can happily say that we still love the bones of each other and there’s not many bands can say that! We're all moving to pastures new (the first of which to look out for is Benni’s solo project Hathor Vein!!).... so we'll see you in the next lifetime.
Lots of love,
....

Donna and The Dagger Lees....

 | We have some sad news...
Current mood:  sad
Category: Music We've got some sad news. It's with a very heavy heart that we have to let you know that Ronan has decided to leave the band. He feels its best for him to move on and do other things. The three of us will still be making music and will let you know about what happens next. As our songs always came from the four of us playing together we've also decided that it wouldn't feel right to continue "delorentos" without him. We're all very proud of the songs we've written over the last year, we feel they're some of the best we've ever done, and as a result we're determined not to discard them or let them go. Next month, the four of us are going to record this album together and plan on making it something we'll all be proud of. It'll be our last collection of songs as delorentos, and we hope you'll like them. We want to thank everyone that's supported us since we started, and all the friends we made along the way, we'd never have gotten this far without you. We hope to play a gig or two to say goodbye. We'll be in touch soon with more details. Ross, Níal and Kieran and Ro. |
