Henrietta Game  have just announced details of their new single “LAST THING” which will be out FRI. AUG 26^TH

Since the release of their critically acclaimed album Black Ship (produced by Tommy McLaughlin – ‘Villagers’), there is no doubt that Henrietta Game have experienced a meteoric rise in the Irish music scene and they look set to continue to do so on the release of their new single ‘Last Thing’ on Aug 26^th.  They have had numerous appearances & support on both television (RTE ‘The Café’, BBC 2, TG4) and radio (Today FM, 98 FM, Phantom FM, RTE Radio1, LMFM + more) They were also awarded a most sought after ALBUM OF THE WEEK on the National radio station RTE Radio1, who described the album as having that WOW- Factor.

The second single to be released from the album is titled ‘Last Thing’ and has quite an interesting back story as to how it came to be…In January 2009, the band, not even a month old, were rehearsing for their first gig in a house just off Parnell Street. Typically they’d practice in the basement but on this particular night they gathered in the sitting room at the front of the house to play to two other people who were living in the house.

Meanwhile… outside, two faint gunshots rang out…

All of a sudden each of their phones randomly started buzzing with texts and phone calls from worried friends and relatives hoping that they were okay. Unknown to them… two men had been shot outside the house as they rehearsed inside and the once quiet street had turned into a frantic crime-scene.

Slightly haunted by the whole tragedy, the following weekend at band practice, band member Christy brought up the incident and said to the band ‘Imagine if our music was the last thing those guys heard’…That very suggestion and possible realization inspired the band to write the second single ‘LAST THING’ from their now critically acclaimed album ‘BLACK SHIP’.

(Debut Single “Sleep Then” then went No. 1 in the iTunes alternative charts!!)

Their upcoming gig dates includes The Electric Picnic and a special support to UB40.

Underworld
Pioneering musically and questing lyrically, Underworld have forced the pace of electronic music since their Lazarus-like resurrection in the early ’90s.

The band’s first album as a trio (with Darren Emerson, a young DJ who lived in the next street in Romford), Dubnobasswithmyheadman, was met with the kind of plaudits reserved for the upper-echelons of rock royalty. The result of several years returning and refocusing, Dubnobass offered Underworld a kiss of life that other bands so far into their career can only fantasise about. Over the next fifteen years, the band plotted a course that took them from cult status curio selling 500 singles out of the back of a van to soundtracking summer after summer as festival headliners the world over; from conducting sonic experiments for subterranean dancefloors to scoring movies for directors Danny Boyle and the late Anthony Minghella.

Autumn 2010 and the arrival of their now critically acclaimed sixth studio album – Barking – sees the band perform a feat of creative regeneration once again. The undisputed heavyweights of electronic music make a very welcome return to Stradbally Hall following an awe-inspiring show back in ‘08.

//THE SAW DOCTORS// Single ‘Be Yourself” out Fri. July 8^th

+ Oxegen gig tonight @6 p.m. on the Vodafone Stage after House of Pain.

(Did you know….. The Saw Doctors hold the record for the most appearances at Oxegen and its predecessor Wittness – Including this year, The Saw Doctors will have played seven times at Oxegen/Wittness!!!)

Taken from The No. 1 charted Irish Album:  ‘The further adventures of….”

It’s 2011 and here is a band withstanding the odds of the current music age, who still know how to recreate the tunes that put them among the most loved bands of the past two decades. ‘Be Yourself’ is the their third single taken from the latest studio album titled The Further Adventures of..… Their new single’s chorus enthusiastically proclaims the line “you’ve got to be yourself you can’t be anyone else”, Co writer Eímhín Cradock explains: “You can achieve all the heights that life brings; money; power; high social standing; etc. but if you’ve achieved it by emulating another person you’ve got nothing you can call your own. Racing through life looking for kudos from other people, without being true to your own code, is a lonely unfulfilling road. In a world of  spin and half truths,  Be Yourself is a song about being honest and being truthful”.

In the first week of The Further Adventures of…. album being released, it knocked off mercury winners The XX and Villagers from the No.1 position on the Indie Charts by coming straight in at No. 1! (and they also came in at a No. 7 position on the mainstream charts and maintained a Top 10 position for over 6 weeks). It has been a vast list of Chart success on numerous songs over the years such as well known favourites: “N17”, a cover of SUGABABES “About You Now”, (note that The Sugababes’ original version of About You Now stalled at No. 2 in the Irish Chart while The Saw Doctors reached No. 1!) and more recently the Christmas 2010 No. 1 acapella version of their hit song ‘Red Cortina’ plus many more, that have helped The Saw Doctors maintain their defiant musical stance on the scene. The new single will only reinstate that.

The current lineup features:  Leo Moran (vocals, guitar), Davy Carton (vocals, guitar), Kevin Duffy (keyboards), Anthony Thistlethwaite (bass guitar, saxophone), and new drummer and co writer Eímhín Cradock (drums + vocals). Join the band as they embark on their Irish and international tour in the coming weeks and months.

Cooking Vinyl sign: The Subways + get a listen to the track ITS A PARTY now up on NME: http://www.nmevideo.com/the-subways-its-a-party The Subways Forthcoming album ‘Money and Celebrity’ was recorded and produced by UK producer STEPHEN STREET (Blur/The Smiths/Kaiser Chiefs) at Sofa Sound studios London.

To set an example of the bands intent for this album ‘It’s A Party’, melds their first album’s melodic immediacy with the 2nds energetic rock power. The band penned this track specifically for the live & festival stage, and it’s a deliberate move to play to the band’s strength as a ferociously explosive live act.

The album is scheduled for release in mid September with first single just prior.
