New year's resolutions

Hey everybody! Hope a good Christmas was had by all... Been a bit quiet on the blog front this past while, so by way of making up for it, feast yourselves on bumper artist updates and some free Best-of-2005 (and one from 2003) mp3s!

Super Eight Kids
The Super Eights have plans aplently for 2006. The fruits of a recent bout of recording with our man Rob T. Whoriskey should materialise at some point in the near future, in the form of an online EP/single of some description. But for a change, recorded output is not going to be the focus for the group this year, with early ideas for a live show slowly gestating. If all goes to plan (knowing us, it probably won't, but we're gonna try hard), the avid populace can expect some hot live action this summer. We'll keep you up to speed on those developments if/as and when they happen.

Messy Angelo
Messy, as ever, is up to his usual old shenanigans. He claims that his album is still on the way but has ominously warned: "If this isn't done by summer I'm scrapping the whole thing". So come on y'all, give the old champ the encouragement he needs. Ridiculously in-depth news, insightful comments and multitudes of mp3s are all available on Messy's site.

Kick Acid
Exciting news for fans of our favourite audio terrorist: word on the street is, Mr. Acid is planning a "political record". Christ alone knows how this will pan out, but expect science to be dropped.

Tugboat Willy
My Kick Up The Hole single is still available here, if you're interested. I've been on a brief hiatus since then, but expect more of my trademark pissing about in 2006.

Beesley/Joy World Corporation/The October Country
All quiet on this front since last summer's Party in the Park performance (ha ha! Christ...) and accompanying single, Bitch! (I Still Want My Money Back). Chances are you haven't heard the end of Shindig's originators though. Keep an eye peeled in '06.

B-Koz
Letterkenny's premier MC is currently representing in Derry, where he's got his Music Tech course going on. We haven't heard any of his output yet, but we'll keep you informed no doubt...


Alright, so I'll leave you with...

Absolutely top notch, not one but two posts for the new year. I can tell 2006 is gonna be our year, we're gonna grab it's nuts and twist til it gives us fame and success.
