first ever gig (ie real gig, with original songs/band, etc) was december 7th last year, opening up for Leanne Harte in the Cruiscin Lan in cork. got the gig first, then got the songs, and then got the band. fun times! one of the songs was written 4 days before gig, and the drummer drafted in...

moving back home after 4 years in cork. what's the story with the place these days? original music scene/places for gigs/places to go drinking/clubbing that don't cost a fortune? i realised today that i'm too used to not queueing to get in anywhere, only paying in occasionally, getting vodka...

football manager is made by the people who made the first few championship managers. they kept the format, while the company who made them kept the name. can't remember precise facts right now, but football manager is essentially championship manager without the name. and yeah, much better

i remember managing walsall and irish team in fm06. best season was when i won the league, fa cup and champions league with walsall, and then the world cup with ireland, winning each of the knockout stages on penaltys troussier says he's interested in the job...

Counting Crows. i know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they're a great band of musicians, and good songwriter. first 2 albums were pretty huge. after that, they went to total shit.

is that really the case, or is it just little bit of embellishment to help sales? only discovered this band recently, and the only people i know who were able to tell me much about them don't really talk much about them...

cheers al :) ideally, would have gone that route, but if we hadn't played our first gig, we wouldn't have had a band! being honest, the only reason the band came along is cause we got the gig! and then once you've played a few, it's a lot harder to go off and vanish while you...

found this through google:

true i guess. i don't really know the man meself though.

errah yeah, but i'd like to do things on our own, make our own mistakes, etc.. wouldn't want to get known as the band who's only playing cause of that connection, ya know? this thread was just a general exhuming of frustration, wasn't actually going out of my way to ask every one here to give...

yeah, i know. been trying to arrange it for few months at this stage, but hormonal bass players, and various jobs/college shit keep getting in the way. only just got ourselves a proper practice room too, so should be able to throw a mic in the corner or something, even for the most rough of...

we'll travel up from cork if it's on right day :p

today, the boss threw on Debbie Harry's solo album at work. yerrah, could have been worse. tonight, i've gone through: Patrick Wolf-The Magic Position David Geraghty-Kill Your Darlings Hawksley Workman-Lover/Fighter Bill Coleman-I'll Tear My Own Walls Down Stars-Set Yourself On Fire Massive...

yerrah aye. i moved to cork around 4 years ago for college, and spent a while just being a fan, going to gigs, etc..before deciding to give it a crack meself. and that was purely just by chance too! mostly, it's luck of who a friend knows, or what you've done for a band before, etc...

oh, and might as well throw this out there, just on off chance someone actually takes it seriously :p http://www.myspace.com/halfthebandiusedtobe it's a bit of a catch 22, cause ya don't get any gigs unless ya have music, but generally, yer not good enough to record the songs unless you have...

we got acoustic tracks from when we were on college radio. it's only one song though, and half of another, cause the other one didn't come out great. and that was a good while ago, so our sound has changed somewhat, though we still play that song. plus, on the recording, there's one acoustic...

that's supposed to be me. it's a balls! guess it would help if we had some music people could listen to like, but still. ya know?

i've only been in a band for barely a year (no priors like) and don't really know what i'm doing, but fecking hell, trying to organise gigs is the most annoying frustrating pile of bollucks in the world!!

balls... just bought it. but sure i guess for the sake of not having to wait around on delivery, etc..
