    El Diablo to play Newbridge and Galway

    Ah! My home town of Newbridge. What can I say? Well there's a bridge there, which was once new. At one stage there was a saying: "All to one side, like the town of Newbridge" because the mainstreet kind of had only one side to it... Now however it's been evened out with some big modern...

    Anything new / exciting out there??

    Methinks Deputy Fuzz are hair-stand-on-end, magically amazing. The Chalets and Neo-Supervital also make me believe in life beyond droning guitars, 'difficult' bass lines, and 'interesting' time-changes.

    Game's Up! Rumbulled by the Brits.

    We at NPB also got a bad review from Metal Hammer. They said that it was great that we put out a record on our own label, but that we really shouldn't have bothered, because it was inexpressibly shit. At the time we thought this was a good review and featured it in our press-pack. I like...

    Oh man... I used to love those scented rubber eraser things... I used to eat them... They smelled so nice... They tasted foul though... but then they'd smell so nice I'd eat them again.

    Sexism in Dublin's music scene...discuss.

    I think the marginalization thing comes with any scene. I just think it has to be watched. When any group gets together they start making assumptions about norms... I mean you only have to look at the reception some non-underground/non-diy/less obscure rock n'roll folk get when they post...

    Question for the songwriters

    Nerdery indeed! My advice on the lyrics thing would be to... first give em some time.... Then: if both sets of lyrics really have to be set to the same music... you could do two different versions of the song like Nick Cave (a real grown-up songwriter like what I want to be like when I'm...

    Sexism in Dublin's music scene...discuss.

    Just one other point on the sexism thang... The recent Kurt Cobain anniversary thing brought to mind how relatively pro-woman things were back in those days of grrunge and riot grrrl. The likes of Kurt automatically assumed there was sexism in the scene so went out of his way to avoid it...
