There's little else to do in CovBong Rips For Satan
Not from my home town which is the hotbed of Irish country music but from the near neighbours in Carrickmacross (although I'm finding it hard to believe)
Dundalk is close. Yeah Dundalk has some good stuff, The Mary Wallopers, TPM (although I think they are the same band) and Jinx Lennon.(I was just reading this Quietus column on Irish music, they mention the Mary Wallopers from Dundalk, are they one of your local teams?)
This came up and reminded me of this comment ^there are middle aged men in their spare rooms with modular synthesizers literally everywhere.
and an EP (only one track so far, it's being released early next year) of post-punky shoegaze from a band called White Flowers:
Was wondering if White Flowers were on your radar, and having done a quick search I see they are. They have a new EP out as of a week or so ago:
They were pretty good tonight, can imagine I'd grow to really like them with repeated listens/less people talking over them. Anyway, it's nice that Preston now has another bit of culture alongside Barney Farmer, the bus station, and I was going to say the Lovely Eggs but turns out they're from the other one.yeah I was listening to this the other day - not sure if I love them tbh, seem a bit too shiny for my tastes.
Pleased to note that the EP comes - as all EPs from Preston bands are obliged to do - with a fanzine of moody black and white photos of the bus station.
We're actually turning out quite a lot of acts who're doing ok atm - Evil Blizzard can fill a decent size venue, Blackhaine had a guardian profile a month or so back and is working with Kanye West, there's a few people making waves in the underground electronic scene... probably more people making music that might be heard outside of the city than since the Boo Radleys and Cornershop were a thingThey were pretty good tonight, can imagine I'd grow to really like them with repeated listens/less people talking over them.
