News
Still on paternity leave after John's latest arrival (Jim) - we were gonna practise tomorrow night but we're too knackered. In the meantime, have a look at my supercool online children's music shop. Just the thing if you're looking for a birthday present for a kid (but not my kids, obviously, cos we already have all this stuff)
Most of our news these days is posted on our blog, so if you're looking to find out what's going on with us then best to look there
Going into beechpark studio on Sunday week to record 3 new songs. Will be releasing the first as a single as soon as we can afterwards
"Periscope Down" was number 1 in last week's Phantom airplay chart. Haha deadly :) Will somebody please buy the album or the single now?
"Periscope Down" was the 3rd most played song on Phantom last week. Mad. Click here to see the Phantom top 10
We've put Periscope Down out as a single - buy it on outersounds.ie for 99c
Nice blog post about the last gig here: thrillpier.blogspot.com
Put that RTE promo up on youtube, hope they don't mind:
The short film that "Nobody in Heaven" was used in is now up on youtube. Here it is:
RTE kindly sent me a DVD of the promo with "Acunamanacana" on it, so as soon as I figure out how I'll stick it up here
"Nobody in Heaven" was included on the DVD that came with the last issue of Pro Bono Publico - only realised it now!
Our song Acunamanacana is being used on RTE2 TV in a promo for their programmes (Podge and Rodge and Naked Camera) - watch out for it!
Got a nice review of Nobody in Heaven from Kevin Courtney in last week's Ticket
Sorry, the gig in The Róisín this Thursday is cancelled, cos I'm moving house
Nobody in Heaven is out at last as a download-only single. Email Phantom FM to ask them to play it, or download it for €0.99 and you might even get us into the charts.
"Nobody in Heaven" has been used in a short film called "The Elephant and the Mouse". Pretty cool, wha?
We're being interviewed on Anna Livia Dublin City FM (103.2) tomorrow night (Thurs 11th)
Phantom's giving away admissions to Friday's gig in the mornings this week between 10 and noon
Phantom is back on the air on 105.2FM (on the web on phantom.ie). They're still playing our old stuff occasionally and hopefully will play the living daylights out of the new single in Jan.
New single (Nobody in Heaven) due to be released in Jan (was supposed to be released before Christmas but we got delayed).
Check out our quiz Which rock musician are you? ... I, unsurprisingly, am a bassplayer.
I've put a video of our tv appearance on "The Café" up on the music page.
Stoat now available on iTunes ... I think your access to iTunes depends on where you live, so I'm not sure if this is available in Ireland or just the US
Stoat return to the stage on May 19th!
Paternity leave is over and we have resumed practising. Got some new songs in the pipeline and hopefully will be back playing in public before too long
We are going to be on TV! March 9th on The Cafe on RTE 2 at 7pm
