Madness, Sadness, Gladness reached a height of Number 21 in the Irish charts
As any fan worth their salt will know, the eagerly-anticipated "Madness Sadness Gladness" was finally released in Ireland on Friday, October 18th, 2002. D'lads' official site has also been updated in the meantime, so go to http://www.picturehouseband.com, or http://www.picturehouse.ie to have a look! (But hang around here for a while first..) The updated site has clips from the new album to upload, wallpaper and some new pix among others
It's sad to report that Johnny Boyle has left Picture House for pastures new. We're all gonna miss him - it won't be the same!! Johnny's now drumming with Marianne Faithfull's band. We wish him all the best *sniff* Currently, Picture House have found a replacement drummer by the name of Jason, though I'm none too sure if he's just temporary or not.
D'lads are currently playing a regular session slot at Lillies Bordello, so for those fans among us who have a gold card, or who have the ability to scrub up well, or are "in" with Louis Walsh & his Puppets, should go along and let the rest of us "peasants" (teehee!) know how it goes!
