oh... did anybody else hear about the jimmy cake being mentioned in fair city? i was told this at work this morning. true? false? and why aren't we all talking about that instead?

Yeah, that was gas; apparently some wan was asking Mike who owns the restaurant for the night off so she could see some band called the Jimmy Cake..."the jimmy wha'?"

What's even weirder is that the Guy who plays Mike used to be the principal in the primary scool where me and vin and dee come from.

Also, Shelley and Paul live on my road.

But i don't know how we got onto the script.
Still, now we're up there with listo, as seen on teevee...brilliant!

I didn't think jim carroll's article was as nasty as a lot of you are making out. So there! , the main reason i'm going is to see four tet seeing as pretty much everyone else plays very regularly in dublin.

There was a good riot girl style band in GZ last night, Michael Dracula, but most people seemed more intent on talking, which was a real shame.

I danced... I danced like a lunatic. Man.... my head mightn't know the tunes, but my feet do. GeeZee was great fun last night....

I'd really like to see this Irish scene being promoted abroad. Things You're Missing started off as a suggestion about collaborating in promoting various bands (loosely associated with Thumped.com). Seeing as there is heaps and heaps of media coverage in Ireland, I think it could be an idea to collectively promote the Irish scene abroad. The music played by the lads and lass in Wonky has a limited appeal, but there would be a lot of people abroad who would be interested in hearing some of the stuff produced in Ireland.

I bet they do know about it but don't tell you. GZ is probably their night off from Speedy.

'twas indeed. The 80's side of the night was poorly reflected by most bands, late cancellations probably taking the blame for that, but the usual GZ combination of rockin choons and sweet booze was enough to keep me happy.

for my two pence ha'pennys worth, i agree with you billy gannon. i think that working internationally shouldn't be seen as the cherry on the cake any more. with barriers coming down and increased mobility and opportunity surely just playing to domestic audiences is an unecessary restriction? is there a way of advaning this by maybe creating an informal international network of similar providers to thumped and things your missing? maybe some kind of collaborative venture with a website portal or something? even links to similar bulletin boards and sites so people could make contacts? this would at least address information exchange and maybe help bring the music to a bigger audience?

are shelley and paul buds of yours? like, do you say "story bud!" to the shellmaister on the street? wish i'd seen fair city now.
the jimmy cake wouldn't be the first dublin band to feature on fair city. anthony's old band, Here Be Monsters had a few posters in background shots. am i wrong?

 

[old]

You in the Jape band now too, P?

Oh yes, the Corpo are playing a gig with Dudley's bro's new band on August 28th which features members of Coldspoons (not that evening, thankfully) and C4O.
That'll do it.

and members of goodtime john as well, and the corpo also includes members of joan of arse.

what do you mean members of Coldspoons (not that evening, thankfully) ?????

There should be a gig that features only female bands to redress the balance.

The way I see it is, that kind of thing just consigns you to the 'ladies night' cage. Is it not better to just play all places with all sexes? They say mixed schools are better for social development after all...

Hey! Why don't all the women organise a Girls in Bands night then? Ha? It would be interesting to see all o them put together. And ye know that 'Chicks on decks' night in the Thomas HOuse. Why don't they change the name slightly to 'Chicks with decks', like those Thailand sorts. Is that not what the gag is meant to be anyway? Seems like they didn't quite pull it off!
