Once again, I was a guest on John Barker's Totally Irish on 98fm on Sunday night. If you tuned in and wanted to know more about what I discussed (apart from my tips for the World Cup), here are the links.

The show itself...

Live: State.ie vs Richter Collective at the Mercantile

You know what the recession has been good for? Free gigs. You know what else is really great? State.ie. These days it's head and shoulders above Hot Press when it comes to music news, interviews, reviews, and insights. Great news is that they've teamed up with the Richter Collective to put on a free gig in the Mercantile (O'Brien's Bar) on Dame Street in Dublin tomorrow (Friday) night. It starts at 8.30, oh, and did I say, free in!

The three excellent bands playing on the night are:
Jogging
We Cut Corners
Enemies

It's going to be mega!

Watch We Cut Corners 'Go Easy':

Stream: Jogging - Minutes

Minutes is the debut album from Dublin band Jogging. They're being hyped all over the place, so expect a lot. Well you should, it lives up to the hype! The album will be released through the Richter Collective on May 2nd, but for now you can stream it in full below...
