Subincision

What is happening & cetera. Nice to see a bit of the sun again. All that rain can't be good for you.

I Should Stop Quitting Everything*


Yes friends, after a thrilling 9-day run, Trabby de la Schwank's assault on all that is good in music has come to a spluttering halt. For posterity:

TRABBY DE LA SCHWANK - Friends and Neighbours (DELETED! For ever and ever!)

Perhaps Trabby too closely scaled the dizzying heights and too thoroughly plumbed the stomach-wrenching lows of avant-garde expressionism, leading to an implosion of musical thought, or perhaps this whole idea was just really stupid and pointless: who can say?

Onwards and Upwards
To the positives, and as we approach the end of the second month of Summer 2006 (!), what in the Dickens is going down, Shindig-wise?

1. The new solo B-Koz material really is shaping up to be something special. With DJ Dano as chief architect and myself providing a healthy portion of the building materials - to be joined by more of Letterkenny's finest musical contractors in due course, no doubt - all we're waiting for is Da Koz's blistering raps to furnish the thing. (Didn't know where I was going with that but it worked out quite nicely, I thought.)

2. As soon as the B-Koz project gets wrapped up, new October Country/Beesley and Super Eight Kids material will hopefully be sent to the refineries of Shindig's various production facilities.

3. I think Diarmo's never-ending quest for noisy pop orgasm is currently on hiatus for retooling. Fix your god damn lappy D.

4. You'll have noticed the Fionnster has joined us. If you haven't already, download his typically mellow cover of the Flaming Lips' "Race for the Prize", via this post here!

5. Kick Acid has another 200BPM megathon in the works, this time exploring the theme of electronic gaming.

6. As for me, now that my upstart alter-ego Trabby has said all he needs to say (see above), my nearest and dearest Tugboat can come back to the fore. Expect new material sometime before the summer is out. (And/or after.)

But for now, take it proper easy!

*I'll get a reputation.

You didn't even know you were waiting for it

UPDATE: One of Rob's quarterly emails has come through from Norwich (making the title of this post ever-more relevant...) The gist: he's still alive and will hopefully be back later in the summer, which means our annual HOT COLLAB ACTION can begin again! Dirty lovely.

Word to your mammy

updates then, who needs them.
heres something to fill your ears/eyes.
Conor Mc Devitt just gave me the link to his "weblog" which makes fantastic reading material if you ever find yourself having a long spell on the can.
It currently also features his lovely mix which is Shindig approved for sticking on, before, during and after partying which carries the rather stereophonicesque title of "contains mild scenes of peril".
