It’s been a while since we actually had a KKM gig, having been on a long break due to the Battle of the Bands, Cannibal the Musical and more, but we were back in Cleeres Theatre last night for the first of 10 gigs before the end of this year, and the launch of new […]

After another hectic week in college, with assignments building up, the plan for Friday night was to unwind with plenty of gigs on offer around town.
I met up with Boo in the backroom of Paris Texas, for a free gig courtesy of the lads from General Rock, with Atrax Mantis and Crucifracture on the bill. […]

After yesterdays Underground gig in the Zoo, I’ve added two more albums to the KilkennyMusic galleries.
First up on stage yesterday were the Black Hand Gang playing their very first ever gig. Fair play to all four of the lads, they were very young and must have been pretty nervous, but they gave it their all […]

Another weekend flys by, but what a great one it was. If things keep going like this then maybe the winter won’t be so bad!?
Myself, Ken and Boo headed to Cleeres to see Clive Barnes in action on Friday night. I was really looking forward to hearing him and I wasn’t the only one. The […]

Myself, Ken, Daw and Boo were at the official launch of the 2007 Rockfall Festival, in the brewery last night. KKM will be providing coverage of the festival, which has been extended to six days this year, and takes place over the October bank holiday weekend.
There’ll be everything from a table quiz, a cinema night, […]

It’s not always easy to have time to blog daily. Last week was a fine example of that, between college and so many other things going on. I’ll probably have to start back dating blog posts to play catch up if things keep going the […]

I got an email off Gar from 20BullsEach over the weekend to spread the word that the lads will be back in the Zoo Club on September 29th, and I see word is already spreading here on the forum too.So I’m giving people plenty of notice on this one, don’t miss it!
20BullsEach are an excellent […]

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 […]

Myself, Daw and Boo were in Paris Texas on Friday night to catch Dublin based Police tribute band the Polis in action. No doubt fans of the Police were delighted earlier this year to hear of the bands reunion and they’ll be playing in Croke Park next month, but Friday night was a nice sneak […]

I got an email off Ken this morning to check out a comment on Sound System Podcast 21. The comment was left under the username Briain and was a bitter little rant in relation to myself, Daw, Ken and Boo judging this years Battle of the Bands. Every year, some people end up unhappy after […]

On Monday I posted a blog following the first heat of the Kilkenny Battle of the Bands 2007, with myself, Ken, Daw and Boo as the judges this year. The intention was to provide some feedback and give some tips to both the bands who had performed in the heat (Decadation, Teratoria, Wee Duggy) and […]

Okay, so technically my weekend started last Wednesday night after ‘Cannibal’ rehearsals, myself and Boo headed to Paris Texas to catch the Chief in action with the Cracked Bucket Band. After that we headed to Morrissons for pints of Jack Daniels. Yes pints, you read it right! Copious amounts of alcohol later and Boo treated […]

Homegrown heroes Itchy Trigger Finger launch their long awaited E.P ‘The Wrong Side of Misery’ in the Zoo Club tonight, followed by an all ages gig tomorrow. This will be the first time you can buy a copy of the 5-track E.P which has taken over a year to produce, but let me tell you […]

Last Thursday was the 13th One Take Sessions, and we were starting to get a little superstitious about the number when slowly but surely acts started dropping of the bill. One of my favourite bands to play with KilkennyMusic so far, mullingar rockers Waiting to Explode were removed from the lineup once again after a […]
