The Chalets split 2528 8
Started by Django
Ireland's finest purveyors of indie pop The Chalets have split up according to the blog on they're myspace page.
Total shame. Their simple yet smart tunes always put a smile on the face and were a welcome relief from the dull as dog s**t singer/songwriter virus that infests the irish music scene.
Proper pop tunes, they deserved to have been bigger. Oh well.

Spinal Tap of the 00s 2966 16
Started by Binokular
On the 'currently listening to' thread, the general concensus seems to be that Oasis were the spinal tap of the 90s.
So who fits the bill of Real life Spinal tap of the 00s i.e. Big, dumb and plenty of real life comedic spinal tap moments.

My Bloody Valentine for Electric Picnic 1962 5
Started by starbelgrade
'Hot Press has learned that My Bloody Valentine will be playing at this year’s Electric Picnic festival, which takes place in County Laois from August 29 to 31.
While yet to be confirmed by the promoters, a UK source reveals: 'They’ve looked at the various Irish festival options open to them, and decided that the Picnic is the best fit. The clincher was Primal Scream and The Jesus & Mary Chain raving about how much fun they had playing there last year.' '

Frank Black / Francis Black confusion in Vicar St 2444 7
Started by starbelgrade
.. Went to see Frank Black in Vicar St on Saturday... amazing the amount of people who showed up thinking they were going to see Frances Black play! He's using his Black Francis moniker these days, but even so! There was a tout selling tickets to punters in their 40s/50s for €30, then buying them back for €20 after the doormen had explained who exactly was playing.
Then I overheard a young girl (early 20s at most), upon seeing a couple in their 50's at the door, saying to her...

Who needs Jools? 2950 13
Started by starbelgrade
.. when we've such excellent homegrown music programmes like the one on Network 2 last night. Inspired performances from The Blizzards, the highly appropriately named The Thrills, that wonder boy of the pop world, Mr. Brian McFadden (featuring a member from The Chapters on cello)... all culminating in a truly life changing performance of 'Anyone Can Be A Star' from the exhuberant Paddy Casey - it even had a mind blowing bass solo. Quality stuff - and people complain that RTE spends our license...

The Urges in need of a little help ... 5092 27
Started by Rosco
Good evening all,
The Urges need a favour from all you cats out there ...
The garage-tastic Primitive Festival in Rotterdam is once again being held this coming summer & we would love to play it. Now this is where the problem lies and were you come in: the one rule that the festival organisers have is that no band can play the festival twice ... but this year they are conducting an online poll were you can vote for a previous band to play at this years event. If you log...

Amazon MP3 comes to europe 1401 0
Started by Binokular
Looks like Amazon MP3 will be available outside the US later in the year (no date specified), this is good news if you are like me and absolutely refuse to use Apples DRM laden iTunes. Even if Apple were to move away from DRM tomorrow, it's still needed, anything that stops iTunes from total dominance is a good thing. I realise there are other non-subscription sites out there like 7 Digital but they don't have the brand recognition needed to topple iTunes.

Cluas Fantasy Football 8943 44

Some of you may have only gotten over the World Cup disappointment and are still seeing that Zidane headbutt happening in slow motion, but the football world doesn't wait around. In fact, the Premiership is starting again next month and that means fantasy football is back. For anyone interested, it's free, a good laugh, makes Watford vs Reading games interesting (if you are unfortunate enough to pick one of their players) and easy to set up.
Just go over to www.premierleague.com. Then click o...
