She embodies ghostly voices wailing to be heard from the other side - voices of
tormented souls stumbling through Civil War swamps, fighting in Indian rebellions, lamenting the loss of love and hoping for a better world to come. That is the landscape that singer-songwriter Oh Susanna (aka Suzie Ungerleider) can conjure at the drop of a lyric and the pluck of a doomed chord. Growing up in a family obsessed with music , she spent her youth rummaging through folkways records, attending festivals at Jericho Beach and slam dancing at all-ages punk shows held in the warehouses of Vancouver. In 1997, she caught the attention of US and Canadian press/ radio and record labels and has since released two highly acclaimed albums to date. Oh Susanna has just released her third album entitled "Oh Susanna" on Hot Records.

Over 18's
Following an absence of 5 months from the Dublin live scene, during which
time they have been off in the Isle of Man writing new material and playing*more sunnier climes such as Glasgow, some members of the Chalets also found the time to dedicate themselves to selfless charity work while other members have taken up formula 5000 motor racing and ultimate fighting as hobbies. The Chalets have been causing quite a stir on the Irish live scene since their first gig last May, winning rave reviews and a considerable amount of fans along the way. They have just committed their first release to 7 inch white vinyl, a split single with Neosupervital on the Road Relish singles club, complete with artwork and design by the Chalets. The Chalets track was also recorded live for the Dave Fanning/Jay Ahern Session's on 2FM. Their early gigs have included supports to rock monsters Warlords Of Pez, Redneck Manifesto, Japanese all girl punk band eX-Girl and an inclusion on the bill of the Irish Rough Trade tour. The line-up consists of 2 girls, 2 boys and a drummer. Together they make infectiously catchy songs which offer a new angle on pop.
Ready for lift off in 2003.....a devastating pop machine...The best pop band an indie kid
could wish for. HOT PRESS
„...a wonderful blur of hybrid pop by way of synth, punk and pop. Rightly lauded.
THE IRISH TIMES
They're the anti six....causing Louis Walsh to question and revalue his whole pop
philosophy... HOMAGE MAGAZINE
A cross between the B-52's and Gang Of Four - quirky angular and pure pop.

Twisted Nerve was founded in late 1997 by Grand Central DJ and designer Andrew Shallcross (aka Andy Votel) and singer-songwriter Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy). The label was originally inspired by a wide range of alternative influences such as one off soul records, french EPs, a cottage industry, a rebellion to dance music, making something out of nothing, hip hop, b-grade US psych bands, breaking down musical boundries, jukebox records, pushing your luck, music and design in unison, Woody Allen and manufacturing singles in Nashville, Tennessee. Andy and Damon didn't want to set up a business. They wanted to make five hundred 7" records with cheap two colour sleeves and sell them to their friends before the end of the year. They sold the records in less than a month and soon after got embraced, mithered and intimidated by the music industry. They then got another record made and proceeded to put out records by our like-minded friends and then they became a record company, made films, designed graphics and organised events.

Taking their name from characters in the hockey film Slapshot, The Hanson Brothers are a hockey-themed side project of musician brothers Rob and John Wright, the founders and principle members of the acclaimed Vancouver, Canada-based group Nomeansno. Using the names Robbie (bass) and Johnny (vocals) Hanson, the Wright brothers perform with anonymous musicians Tommy Hanson (guitar) and Kenny Hanson (drums), often dressed in full hockey gear, singing humorous punk melodies about hockey, beer, Canada and life in general - a sort of "Mackenzie brothers gone bad" situation.
Many more shows to be confirmed/announced so stay tuned. *
