  • Backstage on DCUfm: Call for bands and singers..MCs..

    BACKSTAGE 2012Backstage on DCUfm is back! This semester I’ll be broadcasting live from The Goldfish Bowl in The Hub every Thursday. It will be Thursday early evening.  As Backstage revolves around the world of new music, both local and international we are now putting the call out. If you have a new release coming up, a new album, or gig you want to let people know about, Get In Touch!

    Can you and would you like to come and join us in the studio for an acoustic song or two? Do you rap or beatbox? Get in touch! I would also like to video any performances in studio and put them on my youtube account with your permission of course.

    To get involved all you have to do is send me an email : nessy(at)nessymon.com with Backstage in the subject bar, include a link to your music and a little bit about yourselves.

    Looking forward to having you on DCUfm

  • Wallis Bird: Encore (Video)

    I first heard this Wallis Bird song a couple of weeks ago and it’s one that will get into your head and stay there. Thanks to the nice people at Rolling Stone for the video. Encore is taken from Wallis’ third album, due out in March, entitled, ‘Wallis Bird’, not sure where she got that name from. Love the video, looks like aidan got a haircut.
