STANDING OVATION ON THE HIGH SEAS!August 25/2010 - As the band finished their performance on Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas today the crowd rose to its feet and cheered. The show was held in the ship's largest theater, the Orpheum. Attendees included Rogue Army members who had joined us on the cruise, as well as many new fans, many of whom called the ROGUES, "The best entertainment on the ship!" The band also rocked the island of Bermuda and has been asked to return. The cruise was such a huge success we're already signing up people for next year! Please contact the Heeters at CruiseOne for more information.

Lyric just took his pipe band students from St. Thomas Episcopal School in Houston to the World Championships in Scotland and WON all of the contests in their grade! Then they stepped up and challenged the grade above them and WON those, too! We're talking about elementary and high school students defeating pipe bands comprised of adults from all over the world! The same week Doug won the Canadian Gold Medal in Piping! Well done, lads! NEW SONGS ADDED TO WEBSITEJuly 22/2010 - Nelson and Randy have been mixing the newest album, "3 LBS. OF RAGE", in anticipation of an August release. Nelson alone has laid about 70 tracks on vocals, piano, accordion, guitar, mandolin, bass, etc. while Randy is rocking the drum kit like never before (not to mention his trademark Scottish Snare and other surprises). Tyson is kicking the bass, Corey is bringing the sweet sounds of his fiddle, and Ewan has provided fantastic backing vocals. We've just uploaded two nearly finished tracks, "Winnipeg Forger" and "Big Blue". We think you'll find the piping from our World Champions, Doug and Lyric, to be very impressive.

RAVE REVIEW: CELTFEST CHICAGO!May 17/2010 - "Despite the frigid weather here in Chicago last weekend, Millennium Park and the Pritzker Pavilion were set afire and energized by The ROGUES, a combination CeltRock, folk, classical band performing a mishmash of high energy, soulful wail, classic and rousing traditional music, switching between each without missing a beat... Kilted, booted and marching to the pounding of drums and wail of bagpipes, their unique sound filling the venue and surrounding audience with anticipation of the performance to come. They did not disappoint." - Fanrealm.com READ MORE STANDING OVATION IN CHICAGO!May 8/2010 - The ROGUES were very warmly received at Celtic Fest Chicago when the audience cheered and rose to its feet at the end of their set.
