New music show on RTE 2 - Tues 12th May (2 Viewers)

[Moods For Mallards]

i'm voting for you

Ah, cheers man, but we (Republic of Loose) are non-participating guests. It'll be fun to see how we get on though.

 

[sealed human]

Good show, glad RTE are doing something for Irish Music. I want Hoarsebox to win. They're deadly, and sound lads

those guys were at Phantom first Friday there yeah? Like a Maroon 5 & mid nineties Jamiroquai love-child if I remember

 

[tommytrousers]

Bit harsh all round folks. The show is half watchable and the bands (apart from the RSAG dude) lack that indefinable extra percentage of talent and chutzpah to make them worthy of proper attention. Same as it's always been.
The bigger issue is the usual issue of publishing rights being nicked off skint bands and the usual interminable effort to build an 'industry' on the back of such meagre product. The same contest format is always employed, why doesn't the winner just get something really tangible like a few grand's worth of decent gear, a two year lease on a proper rehersal space, a decent opening slot on a european tour or lease of a splitter bus for a year etc?

I missed last nights show...anyone catch it...any good?

 

[psycho]

Wasn't great to be honest.Getting to be boring now.Pity.

Have to say the Infomatics album is very good if you don't focus on the rapping(Dublin accents) and listen to the music.

 

[Anthony]

pity they put Noise Contol and the infomatics together, I founf it hard to ell them apart

 

[rettucs]

sweet jane are deadly

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I think it's a good show & well worth watching. It's true non of the acts so far have been staggeringly amazing, but they are up and coming, a work in progress and all that. I'm making an effort to vote, just to support the thing....what else similar is on for bands?

Based purely on the song at the end of each show, I've voted:

Sweet Jane

Dirty Epics

The Infomatics

 

[Anthony]

who "won" episode 2. I watched episode 3 on rte.ie and skipped past all the shite at the start.

 

[lympog]

dirty epics are simply a truly awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful fucking band

I'm glad there's a show giving bands a bit of exposure.... but jesus christ musicians talk no end of total arse. They are so fucking inarticulate and quick to use shit clichés!

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

''electro, drum and bass, hip hop, rap. it's music that makes you wanna move. urban music has a story in it, it's there between the beats, it's a story of struggle, it's a story of triumph, it's a story about going for what you want, with everything you've got''

the presenter's a musician yeah?

what the hell are you talking about? that is not true at all

anyway, at the end of the day, watching this show is like an addiction, you get one hit and you just keep coming back for more and more.

the only way to cure an addiction is to kill the patient and right now i'm sharpening up my axe

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]
