Sound System Podcast #55

A day late, a buck short and all that carry on. The 55th Sound System Podcast touched down online just moments ago. I’ll apologise for the delay, due largely in part to the presence of the Champions League Final, some wine, some cheese, some ham, some Corona and finally, some sleep.

There’s music on this week’s podcast from Satellite Escape, Bill Minus, Daniel Jones and Chayka (upcoming guests at the One Take Sessions during 2008).

This week’s tracklisting…

• Satellite Escape - ‘Alive’
• Bill Minus - ‘Play In The Dirt’
• Daniel Jones - ‘Barefoot Childstar’
• Chayka - ‘Carrying On’

Don’t forget to keep your music coming in! Submit your MP3s (as many as you like) to podcast@kilkennymusic.com. If we like it, we’ll play it. If you’ve got a recent band pic and links to MySpace / Bebo / iTunes etc. then include those as well!

Until next week…

Adios.

Sound System Podcast #54

Despite the introduction to the contrary (podcast 55), this is actually show #54 and it is a One Take Sessions special with highlights from last Thursday night’s (May 8th) One Take Sessions.

Mickey too returns to the podcast for some chat about the ‘Sessions, the recent Guggenheim gig and other little nuggets of pure gold.

The acts featured, and subsequently the tracks featured on this week’s show come from

• Nick Day - ‘Month To Year’
• Shane Barry - ‘Kites’
• ReClaim - ‘Decide For Me’
• Ginosko - ‘Untitled’

When all is said and done, it turns out the NEXT week’s show will in fact be podcast #55. With a recent revamp on MySpace, we’ve had a ton of new podcast submissions from acts around the country. If you’re in Ireland, or performing in Ireland, and would like to make your music part of the Sound System Podcast then drop us a line to podcast@playlistmix.com.

Similarly, if you liked what you heard at the One Take Sessions, then check out OneTakeSessions.com. Booking, as we mentioned on this week’s podcast is pretty limited but get your bookings in all the same folks!

Sound System Podcast #53

It’s heating up outside, it’s Wednesday evening and it’s time for another fix of the Sound System Podcast.

I’m flying solo tonight but you’ll still get to catch up on the One Take Sessions (set for tomorrow, May 8th), the Guggenheim Grotto this Friday, a free ticket giveaway, a look back to the Rhythm & Roots Festival and more besides.

There’s also music from

• Steffen Coonan - ‘Dub Bell’
• The Pulpit - ‘Zombie March’
• The Urges - ”
• West Of Eden - ‘Ally Song’

Next week’s show, #54, is a One Take Sessions special and there’s a rumour that show #55 will have a linkup with a few American students hovering around Kilkenny for a few hours. If it goes down, all will certainly be revealed for a slight change of schedule in a show or two’s time.

Email your competition entries to podcast@kilkennymusic.com before midnight tomorrow, winners drawn and notified first thing Friday morning ahead of the gig Friday night.

Until next week, enjoy the sunshine and see you in Cleere’s for a total of six acts over two days (Thursday and Friday)… awesome.
