Sound System Podcast #22

We’re back after two weeks away but we make up for it in content both random and relevant. In Podcast #22 we recap on Cannibal the Musical, the BOTB, upcoming gig with Tortured Artists Social Club with support by Adela Meally, more Podcamping, Boo’s b’day and a dogs blog to name a few topics.

We’ve got Music from

• Vesta Varro - Pyramid Clocks
• Adela Meally - Sleazy Louis
• Murder of Crows - Deadbeat Sky
• The Winded Trees - Kiss My Head

Must offer up an *explicit language* warning again, just to be on the safe side. Also a heads up that there could possibly be some 9/11 discussion enclosed along with impersonations of local publicans. Enjoy!!

Sound System Podcast #21

Oh dear God. Well it had to happen at some stage. We’ve completely lost the plot. Well, we haven’t REALLY lost the plot but you’d be forgiven for thinking so when you get to the last five minutes of the podcast. Recorded last night, we’re back with the 21st Sound System Podcast for KilkennyMusic.com where we’re recapping the Battle Of The Bands, chatting about The Aftermath, recording an EP in France, strange internet happenings and loads more.

You’ll get music from

• Thoughts Of Ruin - God Complex
• Eyesclosed - The Freedom Cage
• Parhelia - Storm Warning

and the track to end all tracks… a KilkennyMusic.com staff offering. This is absolutely unscripted and totally unprepared. We’ve got Daw on guitar and myself (Ken), Mickey and Ross trying to come up with a song. I think we even surprised ourselves.

Have a listen and be sure and tell us what you think!!!

Sound System Podcast #20

We’re back, one week later, just like we said we’d be. We’ve a One Take Sessions special as well for you which for some reason is packed with the strangest - I mean STRANGEST - of topics. The lads from Tortured Artists Social Club were wondering if we’re “off our heads” when recording, which I can tell you now that we’re not, but you’d be forgiven for thinking so after this podcast.

We’ve got music from

• Gordon Barry - The Best Way To Kill A Monster
• Michael Whelan - Walk On
• Ian Doyle - Untitled
• TASC - Mandance

Must offer up an *explicit language* warning again, just to be on the safe side. We’ll have to make some serious changes and edits for the radio, don’t you think? That’s the risk you take with a completely unscripted, unprepared, off-the-cuff podcast. Great success.

We’re also chatting about The Aftermath, PodCamp Ireland gets another plug (and will continue to do so), there’s Ross’ discovery about tumbleweeds, Mickey’s new tip of the week, thoughts on the ‘Sessions and all the acts and much more in about 43 minutes.

Our thanks again to Gordon, Michael, Ian and TASC for making it an incredible One Take Sessions yet again. These things just keep getting better! We’re back again next week with recaps from the Battle Of The Bands, the Aftermath gig, ITF’s double weekend header and so much more besides.

Sound System Show #19

We were getting to the stage where I thought I’d never be able to write ‘#19′ in a podcast title but two months after our last outing, here we are! We’d be lying if we said we haven’t made an effort to get the podcast up over the last two months; there was one recorded May bank holiday weekend, another recorded after the One Take Sessions in June and another prepped after the One Take Sessions in July but between an EP launch, weekend away, three sessions, five gigs, a fundraiser, a partridge in a pear tree and more besides we’ve been pretty busy!

But we’re back! On this show you’ll hear music from…

• Slave Zero, ‘Soul Of Ruin’
• Itchy Trigger Finger ‘God Said’
• Jack O’Leary ‘Doomsday River’
• Numinous ‘Follow Your Gift’
• The Aftermath ‘One Is Fun’

The madness continues in this podcast as it did with show #18, we’re really picking up where we left off. I guess we should have some kind of disclaimer that there may well be strong language used on this podcast so be warned!

Enjoy it, see you at the One Take Sessions on Thursday August 2nd and tune in next week for a recap of said ‘Sessions. Please note - this is a VERY long podcast, you may need copious amounts of tea to deal with the near 80 minutes of content - we’ll be back to our usual 40 minute slot next week.
