Update

So yeah, no time like the present for a quick look at all the goings-on in Shindig...

Super Eight Kids: Following the pretty big success of the Super Eight Kids' debut Staish the Shape of the Juck With the Yock last summer, myself + Dano went back to the drawing board this summer. We put the finishing touches to the more simply-titled Sequel just a few weeks ago. It's a bit of a departure, and to be honest we're pretty happy with where we're going. Some live events are in the pipeline.
Meanwhile, as Dano was saying, we've now got our man Rob on board for further mind-expanding adventures in sound, and our first bit of work last week was an (admittedly poor) effort at making a whole album in a day. We didn't upload them on the album-a-day site but we'll hopefully get the 3 resulting songs up here soon, along with a few from the new album as well...

Beesley: Another summer, another name change for Oddie Knocky (guitars, vocals), Messy Angelo (guitars, vocals), myself (bass, vocals) and Dano (drums, vocals). The single of Bitch! (I Still Want My Money Back) was recently unleashed on an unsuspecting - some would say uncaring - public, with tip-top remixes from the rest of the Shindig stable. A planned tour of Ireland never quite got past the "hey, that's a great idea!" stage, but we did partake in a number of gigs in the Letterkenny area, and word on the street indicates some hot live action going down at NUI Galway in September. Eyes peeled, y'all. And again, expect MP3s lickety-split...

Messy Angelo: The man whose sole aim is often simply to "hurt the listener" is doing his best again this summer, with an ear-splitting remix of the afore-mentioned Beesley tune distressing those in need of comfort, and a whole goddamn solo album (accompanied by an out-takes record!) on the way. His appearance also seems to be getting more ragged by the day.

B-Koz: After dropping rhymes on the first Super Eight Kids album last summer, a planned collaboration with DJ Dano was in the works for this year, but fresh shit is, as yet, unforthcoming. He is tinkering away by himself in the meantime. He plays us his shit at regular intervals, and is known to freestyle at the drop of a hat. The man's got rhymes coming out his eyeballs.

Tugboat Willy: I made a wee single myself earlier in the year called I Am Bored and since then I've been dicking about with loads of rubbish. Mainly it's been Super Eight Kids all summer though.

Kick Acid: That cheeky virus on DJ Dano's computer is up to no good again, recently garbling the words of Paul McCartney to shocking and/or hilarious effect, as part of a remix of Beesley's Bitch!

Meanwhile, a ten minute mini-album entitled Digital Bell-End Unintentionally Stops Traffic is full of sounds and beats and may sometime be released for the pleasure of the listening public.

Other Shindig artists are doing fuck-all.
