Sound System Show #4

We’re back with the 4th podcast just in time for the second sessions which are tonight (Nov 23rd). This was a late, late show, recording around 1am on Monday night and while it was ready for upload yesterday, it gets to hit the web today thanks to the Tool gig yesterday keeping us all out of the running.

On this show we’ve got music from

• Itchy Trigger Finger (What Have We Done Now)
• Panda Radical (Where’s The Remote?)
• Laminate (Tom Petty)
• Myp Et Jeep (Enough Is Enough)
• 20 Bulls Each (Make Your Stand)

In between that we look back at the 2006 Battle Of The Bands on a whole including our standout (also known as Spandau Ballet - injoke) bands, KilkennyMusic.com taking over the internet, plans for video, another look at the Christmas party, looking ahead to the sessions on the 23rd and 14th, bookings for 2007 and the usual random banter that might creep in (enter the lotto, global warming, finger food and other amusing comments).

Let us not forget our first podcast request - getting some of the staff to debate the age old arguement of Steven Seagal vs Chuck Norris.

Hope you enjoy
