I did indeed give it a whirl. Yep not a bad effort, are they going through the thankless task of trying to get signed or is it fun?


I know some guys in another Irish band called New Vegas. They struggled to get signed, won the Dublin Battle of the Bands, plaudits in the Irish Times, but just couldn't get that lucky break.

They split up a couple of months back which was a pity as I genuinely thought them better than some of the success stories out there.

I still get to see the two brother's play over bongos and keyboard in a 'raw sex' manner in a little bar called Nico's in New Ross, Wexford.


I post one of their fabulous efforts in memoriam as it were.

(apologies for dreadful compression to get file under

No, Scott doesn't chase record deals, just does it for fun I think. He did make an album a few years ago, and sold it himself.


He lives in Tokyo and records in his spare room, and plays mandolin in an Irish folk band!


New Vegas sounds good but blimey you've compressed it to death!

Ooh, had a bit of a spree in Fopp today:


The Bees - Octpous

The Bird and the Bee - Eponymous

Laura Veirs - Saltbreaker


THe last is just terrific, love it, loads of influences Echobelly, Lush, Joanna Newsome a bit of Curesque guitar som eHowling Bells as well as the usual Joni Mitchelly bits thrown in

enjoy


Crystal, apparently she's done a couple of guest spots on the Decemberists if she sounds familiar

She is obsessed with the sea. songs on this album include Ocean Night Song, Drink deep, Cast A Hook In Me and Wrecking.

She seems to sweet to splinter someone's fingers.


Also loving The Bird and the Bee btw

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
