Hear the new DJ Dano & B-Koz track at our Bebo page

Ar'b Str'p

Up next: as suggested by Fionn, an Arab Strap covers record from Shindig's various artistos. Meanwhile, the new blog is kicking off nicely.

Rejiggle

New, and hopefully improved: Thoughts, Etcetera

Holy

Shit. Fuck. Moley.

HERE IT IS. (I'm quite drunk. Hello Shinduggies.)

UPDATE: It wasn't finished and it was barely three minutes long. I'll put it up again later. I'm quite hungover. Soon to be cured by a locha oul brandy.

DOUBLE UPDATE: I didn't mean to link to actual pornography.

TRIPLE UPDATE: There's Diarmaid, as drawn by Declan many Moons ago.

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.

we are live

well and truly,
i just got broadband in so expect none too many updates,
huzzah.

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".

Mary & Joseph

Neither have I*. Sorry, we won't let this place get as lax on the updating front as Lord Messy d'Angelo's blog of forgotten greatness. Leave him messages so he'll get off his fat hole and write something to all of his adoring fans.

Anyway, an abundance of treasures coming soon.

*I actually have

Jesus

i aint been on the internet in ages.

Beat intelligence

Shindig did another short film over the easter. It's actually part of my final project for this year but expect it to crop up as an extra on the forthcoming DVD of whatever the hell feature length movie we end up makin.

New Tuneage

Well, new-ish. This is a recent redux of a tune I made last year called "I Am Bored". It started out with just that sorta dirty bassline thing you hear, but came to life when I accidentally added a drum'n'bass beat. In this newer version I basically fucked round with the beat way more and rejigged a few portions. And now it's fresher than ever, I reckon.

This starts off what I'm hoping will be a very productive week, so keep it peeled...

Away from the snakes

Happy st. patricks day in advance of tomorrow.
Tuggers,Brian, Diarmiad and myself will be in letterkenny for the event,boozing up early and then entering embibing emporiums which will probably have a higher than usual bogger count.

muffpile

Friday night then.
Gardai at the house,puke all outside it,another fubar conga line (pologies daithi) and waking up with loads of people in my room.
Success then.

Always 50 steps behind the pack, we've finally got our holes in gear and joined up with the MySpace "revolution".

Visit our Shindig Records MySpace to listen to/download some of our tunes, and generally fag about and waste time.

Ey op.
Some Shindig related events that may interest the lot of ye.
Its my birthday this arriving monday the 13th and to milk the rollocks out of it-any folk around belfast can celebrate this rubbish event by goin to see maggot and dj Xain of Goldie Lookin Chain fame on thursday night with us.
Then, on friday some refreshments and light entertainment in the form of Durning dressed as a mexican wrestler will be at my house which will then proceed to much larking about in the Fubar.Diarmiad, you better have your saggy arse home for it.

Back to that gubbins about the kick Acid thing I mentioned previously. Apperently it's in a function room of sorts in the Radisson hotel Letterkenny on the first of April.Its some school related dance thing with a band called Atlus whom will be performing before me.
Its open for anyone to go but due to it probably being a younger crowd than us lot and a bizarrely hollywood related dress code, I believe the interest wont stretch beyond a severly intoxicated tugboat and brian.
Expect live blogging from the event (dont really).

I bet that mixing up the lower and uppercase in the title of this post is ageing you rapidly Tugboat.
