CAP PAS CAP
A history
1978-2004: Inspired by late seventies/early eighties no-wave punk sounds and with a fascination with all things psychedelic and krautrock their early attempts at creating the ‘song’ proved difficult. With a new definition of the ‘song’, the ‘band’ was happening. All of the group had aspirations to break out a new modern sound and taking the sheer raw energy of their influences, matching it with their noise-damaged shifting guitars, dynamic multi-percussion and accidental vocal bursts, Cap Pas Cap was an infant.
Then it was 2005.
Cap Pas Cap began playing live with a truly catastrophic show in March. This was their first show which featured a lot of whiskey. From this point onward they embraced their unorthodox efforts at making pop music and decided to carry on as they had originally started - with a complete disregard for any conventional standards. That June they played a show with new friends Les Georges Leningrad who reinforced to them that the disorder was okay, once you add keyboard. They were okay now and anxiously went forward with a new motto ‘the opposite is operative’.
Hello 2006:
Cap Pas Cap have played numerous critically acclaimed shows in Ireland and the UK with Numbers, Erase Errata, The Presets, The Go! Team, Gossip, and an appearance at the legendary Reading Festival. They blow their horns in the summer.
Their future
They release their debut 12”, ‘Not Not is fine’, through Skinny Wolves Records on 2nd December 2006.
Mr. UK, Miss Europe and the USSA are planned for 2007, along with more recording early in the year for what will be their debut album release next summer.

TWINKRANES
Somewhere over one third of the way into the first decade of the new millennia in the long dank winter of 2003/2004, three young world weary musicians T.Krane and his child-hood friends and companions The Rooster and Dr Raymond Krane, sat up and dusted themselves down. After some time spent floating in the stratosphere after the implosion of various different musical projects they began to gravitate slowly back to earth and began to realise that time had been kind to their souls and minds but the musical landscape they now co-habited looked considerably dull and un-moving. So with a newly found hunger our heros began to rejuvenate themselves, not unlike a worm or maggot that gets stood on, breaks into many pieces and grows happily and multiplies into some more worms or maggots. They soon began to establish their very own Palmer Space Studios. An other worldly environment specifically set up for the purpose of creating challenging uncompromising electronic pop music. Buried deep within these smokey hallowed walls, through rigorous experimentation with vintage electronics, tribal drums and undying love for popular music and popular culture, a six-legged avant- groove machine monster was born. Now under the moniker TWINKRANES our heros had returned from a long and truly strange migration.

PARTY WEIRDO
Guitarist / vocalist Cara Holmes, multi-instrumentalist Therese McKenna and Drummer Emily Aoibheann combine loose and jagged riffs with playful experimentation, letting loose a happy and disjointed groove. They plan to release a split 10" with Estel early next year.
