Last Sunday night, I had the pleasure of heading to Whelan’s to see one Mr Frank Turner. I was totally surprised with how good he was. He puts on an amazing show. I wrote about it for Goldenplec, go have a look. As I said over there, ‘There’s not enough Frank Turner in the world’.
As I was free I said I’d be up for anything..turns out I had a ball!
First up on Wednesday I interviewed The Brilliant Things who recently signed to Universal and this was nothing to do with Arthur’s Day. The band’s debut album is being released on October 7th. I might add I don’t think I’ve ever interviewed a band who laughed quite as much! Hilarious!
From there I headed towards Arthur’s Day HQ, stopping off at the little coffee shop for a little bit of extra research before my scheduled interviews with Bitches With Wolves and BellX1. It was also good to have a chat/bitch with Aidan who runs Goldenplec, we don’t get too many chances.
James from Bitches With Wolves is so adorable, the world needs is a decent popstar and fashion icon who isn’t Lady Gaga.. I vote James in! Lovely guy with great hair and he gives great hugz. (more…)
Seeing as today sees the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Nevermind, I had to pick something from it.
In 1991, or really here in Ireland on 1992 when the monster truck that was Nirvana took hold, I was in a very different place (ie a mess) and wasn’t quite sure if I ‘got’ Nirvana or not. I liked the singles and the stuff that was played on MTV.. (remember they actually did play music once upon a time) but never really delved any deeper than that to investigate. This song always reminds me of that time, the crap that goes on when you’re 19 and how to get out of it.
This week’s Tune of The Week is Smells Like Teen Spirit.
