Firstly, let me apologise for not yet replying to my comments and messages over the last couple of days. Once again I have been completely snowed under with college work. I want to clear up a couple of things, concerning my gig review of Cronus and 23 in the Zoo Club last Friday. I’ve had […]

As I mentioned on this weeks Sound System Podcast; Kilkenny grungers Chemical Addiction hit the studio this week to record their E.P, ‘The Brian Jones E.P’. After the podcast I headed out to the Mill Studios to have a chat with the lads, get some shots and get a sneak preview of things to […]

I was hoping to do a detailed blog post (possibly two!?) dedicated to last weekends unbelieveable gig with Atrax Mantis, Abysmal Torment, Slave Zero and Sanatorium in the the Zoo Club on Saturday and Sunday, but with a huge list of college assignments and work to do I’ll have to settle for a recap on […]

The OneTake Sessions returned to Cleeres Theatre on Thursday night. We were back after a long break with the 14th One Take Sessions with four more acts taking to the stage.

Yesterday saw hundreds of people cram into the Zoo club for the final of this years Battle of the Bands. Unfortunately the crowd attracted the attention of over a dozen local scumbags aswell. As people tried to enter the Zoo for the final they were spat on!? This group of ignorant little losers were big […]

And so the summer comes to a close and what a summer it has been! Okay the weather was pretty much consistently shite but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. I’m back to college next week, entering my final year and it’s looking like the workload will be pretty heavy, so I’m […]
