the band had been off since last Octobers trip to Fibbers in Dublin.
For this show we also had 6 brand new tracks ready along with a few tracks off the last album "Revolutions".
Joining us on the night were Nenagh band Burn this Promise and Dublin band Electric Taurus.
We had an early set run through the day of the gig in the jamroom just to fine tune the new stuff.
Anticipation and nervous energy was evident for we would be playing our first show for almost 9 months, the chase is on!!

| The lads hard at work packing up!! |
First up on the night were Burn this Promise, local lads from Nenagh who are making good progress on the scene of late, the lads were joined on bass duties tonight by Kevin "Smiley" Bolger in place of Jonny who has family issues at the moment and whom we wish all the best :)

| Burn this Promise The lads played a fine solid set and all in attendance were impressed by the boys!! |
Next up were good mates of ours Electric Taurus, we have played with the lads on several occasions and they never fail to pound out their stoner/doom blues, lots of trippy/Spacey interludes and what a great band, the lads are promoting their current split release with Italys Prehistoric Pigs and its gaining great reviews from all over.

And now the time had come for Castero to unlease themselves and their new material to the public in attendance, tonight there was more than 70 + who had passed through the doors to watch all bands and that in itself is great to see, we all put long hours of hard work into what we do and its nice to get decent crowds in to support local Irish bands.
We Kicked off our set with new track "Til you Drown" and this set the tone for the rest of the night, its always great to play new stuff and the veins and adrenalin started to take control, we played one of our best gigs to date and the power and passion was there for all to see, we ripped it up Cazzie style!!
We also played 2 encores first one was Paranoid by Black Sabbath and we were joined by Tom Sayers on Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin with Matt from ET and Johnny on backing vocals, most of the crowd also joined the stage for this tune and the place was going crazy, what a finish to a great night!!
