Yes… it’s possible this video has been used before but there’s been requests over the weekend to give it another screening so here it goes… only about 9 hours later than it should to. No, it’s not a sign that I only woke up at 5pm.

It’s been a great bank holiday weekend in Kilkenny, here’s looking forward to a 4-day week from tomorrow

I’d say there was more than religion lost so far over the weekend… the comedy festival in Kilkenny going excellent as always, and there’s still two more nights to run. For your Sunday breakfast, here’s some REM with ‘Losing My Religion’.

Enjoy the day!

A great song from a great band who are going to be joining us for the One Take Sessions on June 19th in Cleere’s. Here’s Dirty Epics with ‘The Cure’. Cracking video as well put together with the aid of NYU Tisch student Alison Grasso and Hot Press.

The back of the week is firmly broken sir!

The second installment of Mycrofilms flagship production, ‘Vultures‘, is now online and FREE TO WATCH on www.vulturespi.com.

Episode 2: ‘The Scarlet Lady Vanishes’ sees the return of the three hapless detectives of Vultures P.I, along with some new faces, as they “get up in the guts” of an Agatha Christie style murder mystery. It’s got action, it’s got suspense, it’s got love, it’s got hookers and it’s still better than that film, the one with the bugs in space!

Check it out and leave the lads from Mycrofilms some feedback here on the Mycrofilms MySpace or the Vultures bebo profile.

This one arrived over the news desk yesterday… Fair play to the Suddyn lads with their continued chart success.

Recorded in the world renowned Grouse Lodge with the wonderful producer Les Stapleton and mastered by John Davis in Alchemy Soho, London (Snow Patrol, Led Zeppelin & The Arctic Monkeys), ‘Letting Go’ is the third release for this NY/Clonmel band. SUDDYN’s new single has been described as “a symphonic blast of pure angst with Coldplay-bothering, arena-quaking potential.” Alan Corr RTE Guide.

“We are all really happy with how ‘Letting Go’s’ is doing, it’s great to see a drunken weekend at Grouse Lodge really pay off” says lead singer Alan Steil.

‘Letting Go’ could very well represent a transition in SUDDYN’s career as they come into their own as a player in the music world.
