How d party people

Hope all is well.

Lovely little event announcement today for ye folks…some of ye on the twitter machine and instaspam may have seen this already ( i have become completely detached from said machines, sometimes i might touch in on work stuff but a load of baloney in general terms i feel…a load of cockawalla) 

But a lovely event is coming up in the siopa tomorrow week Thursday the 15th of August @ 6pm when we will have a listening party for the new Fontaines record “ romance”.

So fans of FDC can get a chance to hear the album in full in the siopa 8 days before release….not only that, i’m told there will be plenty of spots Fontaines related to be raffled/given out on the evening and last but certainly not least, there is a really limited ( only available to the listening parties around the world, just 2 listening parties in Ireland) white label pressing of the album which will be raffled out on the night to folks who are in our house at the time…there is a chance we may get more than one copy of this but definitely one copy anyway will be raffled.

We have been on about this band since before they were signed and it’s lovely to be thought of for such an event.

We have some folks traveling from Galway, Limerick and Kerry for the event ( all thanks to the social media  I was on about…hah what…it has pluses i guess ( gruntingly)).

So pop us a mail if you want to attend … .or there are links on the site also so can do it through there ….room for 70/80 folks reasonably comfy anyway ( id expect about 50 tbh)

Should be a lovely event and you never know what you might leave with!

The band probably have about 20 great songs at this stage but this one is right up there with them….really looking forward to the record

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road with announcements…

Hey everyone! Sound, Ray. A good bit today again, so won’t ramble on.

First release that’s well worth a mention is a brand new album by SMASHING PUMPKINS – Aghori Mhori Mei. Written/recorded soon after the release of their last massive triple album a year or so ago. It will be available to us on CD, standard vinyl or Indies Vinyl with Poster.
And it’s out on November 22nd. Here’s a new tune from it:
EDIN

The next in the 12 inch singles box sets from DEPECHE MODE is coming soon. ‘Spirit: The 12″ Singles Box Set.
Here’s a bit more info about that:
“

12” x 7 – Limited Numbered Collector’s Edition vinyl set housed in a deluxe slipcase including seven 12″ 180g vinyl discs, riveting artwork recontextualizing original album covers, a replica poster and download card. 

Spirit | The 12″ Singles, a collector’s edition deluxe box set, contains seven 12″ vinyl discs including custom replicas of the original three double 12″ singles from Spirit (Depeche Mode‘s 14th studio album): Where’s the Revolution (originally released 3 February 2017, in advance of the album), Going Backwards (released 23 June 2017), and Cover Me (released 6 October 2017).

As a bonus for Depeche Mode fans, Spirit | The 12″ Singles premieres a special seventh disc: the first-ever 12″ vinyl pressing of the band’s legendary Highline Sessions, recorded live in New York City on 3 August 2016. The most complete recording of Depeche Mode’s Highline Sessions ever released in any format, this five-song 12″ vinyl single includes DM’s galvanizing cover of David Bowie‘s “Heroes” (celebrating the anthem’s 2017 40th anniversary) and two previously unreleased performances of songs from Spirit: So Much Love and Poison Heart. ”

The set will be released on September 20th.

And at the start of September there’s a cool looking numbered/coloured reissue of MILES DAVIS – The Man With The Horn with Marcus Miller involved coming out via Music on Vinyl.

Oh and for any metal fans, NILE are releasing a brand new album on August 23rd. Called ‘The Underworld Awaits Us All’. We didn’t put it up on the site as the vinyl is expensive at around 50 quid but if anyone is interested pop us a mail.

Here’s a list of what else will be coming out over the next few months:

And here’s young Adam’s video exposé before I go:
