Congrats, good exposure there!

Well done, sounded good. It's a great buzz hearing yourself on national radio. An old band of mine got played on Fanning's show and Jon Kenny's show about 30 years ago, it still makes me smile thinking about it 🙂

[BillyBass]

Nice one Ely, that was pretty good.  Any gigs in London on the horizon?

I can't imagine! Maybe though. Our band leader is good at getting cool gigs.

 

Hoping to play germany. For some reason our last 3 singles have all charted quite high on the alternative charts there.

We were on fanning's show on virgin1 live from Whelans. He introduced and interviewed us. It was pretty cool!

[Al Krow]

Nice one! Great stuff getting on national radio!

[BassTractor]

Congrats!
Luvverly stuff. Me like!

As to the sound, I know this is wireless radio and comes over the seas all the way from Ireland to Norway 😉 , but the whole programme had this from-far-far-away sound I couldn't define (both through internal laptop speakers and Harman/Kardon Soundsticks). I feel sure you guys sounded a lot better in reality.
Maybe the live programme sounded better than its streamed version?

Anyway, do go to Germany, and when there: Don't mention their cars.

Cheers, bud!

 

My singer put it in soundcloud, just our bits. I wonder if you hear the same audio issues...

Mucho, mucho bettero!
This is a lot closer to my 256kbps downloads from the iTunes store (yes, you just cost me a lotta money and I hate you 😁 ), but to my old ears sounds more compressed, less open and a bit tinny in comparison.
I'm guessing I'm hearing Loudness in this version (not talking as an engineer; just yer average listener).

The radio programme (as received here through fast fiber) didn't do your music any justice whatsoever.

Folks, if you found something to enjoy in these three tracks, do yourselves a favour and listen to better versions. It's a cracking album.
Nope, I'm not buttering up @lidl e, whom I know nothing about and have never dealt with.
Just love for the music.

BTW, lidl e, I love it when you get your fingers overtly dusty in "God's Trainers". 😃

Wow! Thanks so much! What an amazing thing to say.

 

Yeah, busted out the entire pedalboard for God's Trainers!

Love the lyrics " A great day for drying" could be my Ma

[Chienmortbb]

I can hear so many influences there but it also sounds very fresh. Congratulations.

[lidl e]

Thanks so much, everyone. 

 

I swear i wasnt trying to self promote when i posted this. Just was excited to be on the radio!

 

Appreciate all the feedback.

Well done! Great news! I love RTE 2FM, and used to listen to it regularly on my commute, and I'm in the North. I stopped listening when, for some reason, I only ever got Jennifer Zamparelli talking about female sexuality every time I was in the car - Sorry to say that's not quite my thing! Anyway, they were always very good at showcasing new local artists, which is great, so I'm happy to hear your band got their spot on the channel. I'll have a listen later on.

Don't be daft, you're on national radio in a nation with a very fine heritage of music. You should be dead chuffed and promote it and much as you can! 

 

Off to listen to it now, and congratulations!

[Mykesbass]

Update having listened - you really do not need to be ashamed of 'self-promotion. This is great! 

[Mykesbass]

Update 2 - the importance of promotion: seeing on Bandcamp the Andy Rourke credit I realised I had liked your stuff before, but with so much else going on I had forgotten. You need to keep reminding people (especially those of us of a certain vintage) 😆

Keep up the great work!

[Skybone]

Great stuff

Thabks so much!

 

I'm still trying to master Andy's feel on that one... 

 

I am convinced he is tuned up a 1/2 step on the recording.
