bombsville indeed

friday afternoon done come so here be a few updates from tigerland..........
our track thewisehand from the BMX ep is finished and is posted below.been a bit of a slow week on the mixing process because of indesicions and trying to put square pegs into circular holes and all that kind of jazz but it's all back on track now.
from this week on we begin our very own mix series-tracks we dig put together especially for your listening pleasure.check out for the first one on monday afternoon.
this weekend is set up to be another one full of long drives,grooms minus fingers and all the fun of the fair.
see you on the other side

and why the hell not?.............................

things.as they are.

so it's all starting to fall in to place.The ep is nearly finished but everytime i think its done something else comes along and i go back to the drawing board.nearly there though,and i have a feeling it may just be worth it.
the next collections of songs are falling into two pretty distinct categories-slow,mellow,stripped down late night stuff and other uptempo band-centric stuff.liking all of them a lot so i am just keeping going on all of them at the same time because they all seem to be bleeding interesting ideas into each other.
the Split Lip album is proving to be a real buzz and some of the tunes are going to blow people's socks off.
Captain Moonlight and The River Valley Band's albums are progressing very nicely and hopefully both will be completed fully by Christmas.
was fortunate enough to do the live sound for Glen Tillbrook from Squeeze last night.a lovely man and an incredible performer.
thats about it,don't ever deny where you come from people,
over and out.

Day By Day With The BMX Ep-the saga continues

lots done in the writing recording and mixing stakes this week.The Big Snare has been recording all over the place and Brian the Faceman made it down yesterday to throw his guitar through the space echo and have a few smokes.
Glasseye is now nearly finished so here is how it is sounding so far................

Of Lippage,Tigers,History And Flu...........

Quite a week.
Obama restored a lot of people's faith in the idea of America,now all he has got to do is live up to his own hype.The Tallest order i can imagine but hopefully if he pulls off a fraction of his ideas it will make America a better place.
I have been struck down with an unrelenting flu and this has put paid to my plans on having the ep finished next week up in the air,however we carry on in earnest.
the writing for the second album proper is going very well.most of the music is done and it is lyrics week next week.
The Split Lip album is moving ahead full steam and should be finished for Christmas as will Captain Moonlight's new opus(favourite track right now is Don't Follow Through,you will know why soon).The River Valley Band's debut album is starting to take shape in the mixing stakes now.
Been diggin these guys this week.

Songs For Susie

Our track 'The Heart's A Fatal Flaw' is included on the new charity compilation album 'Songs For Susie',which has just been released for public consumption all over the 'sunny' south east.It is a collection of Kilkenny bands,past and present and we are delighted to be in the company of (deep breath)Kerbdog,Captain Moonlight,Jazz Panda,Little Black Wren,Engine Alley,Pello,the 2 Fantastic 3,RSAG,The Fundamentals,Jilted,The Jerusalem Taxis,Split Lip,Myp Et Jeep,Blue Ghost and The Lost Sessions Band.
Susie was a very good friend of ours and we are thrilled that we could aid the great work that the hospice fund are doing by contributing our track.The cd is available from all the usual outlets at the miniscule cost of €10 and not only is it worth it for supporting this great cause ,it is also a great snapshot of alternative music in Kilkenny over the last twenty years.
