Irish Bands

[shiv]

If you want, I could email you the songs from the cd...

[Mairtin]

Thanks Shiv...Mind you,I just noticed that Walter Mitty and the Realists are in the Final too...thats going to be be a tricky one to judge but the Mitty's just might snatch it!

[shiv]

I'm sending the songs to your email now... hopefully it will work 

I think the best song on the album is either New York, by The Frank and Walters or This is the End, by Future Kings of Spain.

  Hey Shiv
         Thanks for the emails..it must have taken you hours! I'd forgotten how time consuming uploading and downloading via email can be sometimes.
I'd also forgotten my password for RealPlayer ...so I had to fiddle about with them for ages again too. The tracks all came through perfectly and I've been listening to them all morning...Still think it's gonna be a close call on the night!
       Thanks again!

[shiv]

No bother  , glad you liked them...
I think Bravado have a pretty good chance of winning, they really do sound deadly.

This has given me the idea to add a new ftp file sharing account for forum members, see my next post...

A really deadly band to check out is Television Room... I've seen them twice and they're getting pretty big now.

Here's their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/televisionroom

   I've  Just been checking them out...Dressed to Kill is an absolute 'killer!'
there vocalist reminds me a bit of the 80's band Japan, but their music is a million times better

Another band to grab hold of my ears and give them a good thumping is Dublins Channel One - apparently they were playing at an Irish musical showcase in Austin Texas in March along with Dolerentos and Cathy Davey.
   Their music is a hard but melodic Trance Rock with plenty of musical jewels thrown into the mix. They're at
http://www.myspace.com/channelonesound  with their debut ep available to buy via itunes and an album due soon.

   Another collection of muso's with some momentous moments are the lads from Corks 'Jezery' whose solo ventures and experiments are all showing some creative promise - related Jezery ventures are
    http://www.myspace.com/quietpilotmusic   -Shane O'Sullivans solo electro
    http://www.myspace.com/minervioladismorban   -Jimmy Lyons (former bassist now in Italy chasing a girl)
     http://www.myspace.com/bulbshade   -Ted Murphy and Shane O'Leary( hard rock with a feint tint of jazzed up blues)
    Shane O'Sullivan is also playing lead guitar on the Punked rock of 'Elk' at-
     http://www.myspace.com/elkgilbertino   
 Not forgetting of course the original funked Rock of Jezery at  -                                                            http://www.myspace.com/jezery   -the side bar on the Jezery MySpace tends to Disappear sometimes so you'll probably need to use the page down buttons on your keyboards to navigate the page.

 Another world class all girl band that could cause an influx of male (or even) female patients to the worlds cardiac wards is Black Daisy...and their lead guitarist (steff caffrey) can flex those fingers almost as fast as Gary Moore (...I wander if they're related...no , she's far to good looking to be related to Gary!). Check your batteries on your pacemakers lads it's palpatation time...

     see you in the infirmary...

[Mairtin]

Ah go on...Here's another sneek peek tip off for another amazing five star band that are totaly unique, authentic and original....these chaps will make a huge 'impression' on the future of Irish rap and rock...
    Parental advisory on the lyrical content and a 'flipping phenominal' on the musical content.

Now that should be interesting. Will it be an instrumental album? Wonder if it'll be anything like Dirty Three (Warren Ellis is my favourite violin instrumentalist)
