Day By Day With The BMX EP-part 4(glockenspiels for avril)

lenin or lennon?

sometimes this song slips to the back of your mind amid all the hype of everything else in the world.then you hear it again and realise that the word 'genius' is thrown around way too often.
this.
is.
genius.

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.

Budget Special

.............so everyone in Ireland has to pay for the fact that the good times have gone.fair enough,except for the fact that the government are taking away medical cards from the over 70's,those who never really saw that much of a bonus from the freakin celtic tiger anyway.This running the country stuff is starting to look pretty easy:give away all the money to keep the government in power ,take it away again as soon as they can't afford it anymore.anyone for a one way trip to Cuba?

RADIOSCILENCE BROKEN

back to the world after two weeks of kicking back ,what have i learned?
Well,Obama needs to pull his boots up or the 'maverick' is going to wipe the floor with him,and that is something that i just don't want to consider.
RSAG has just released his second album,and he plays a special launch gig tonight.mighty fine is the album too and i was lucky enough to sit in on the mixing sessions so i should know!
Writing for the next release is going swimmingly,some demos will be along soon.
a new guitar can banish the blues like nothing else.
Monty sure knows how to party.
Ralph sure knows how to leave.
Billy sure loves his champagne.
Swimming pools are the way to go.

enjoy this old tune
