1. The Frank and Walters
The Frank and Walters 1st gig was on 14/10/89 - 26 days before The Berlin Wall fell. Both events were seismic to their respective audiences (43-De Barras,1 billion-Worldwide) the events cant be verifiably linked. 26 would continue to make appearances in the curious history of the band. 5 Albums, 1 Best Of, 1 Triple Album of Rarities, 1 Book, 1 DVD, 14 Eps, 2 founding members, 1 ex female keyboard player/model. Add them...26! Coincidence or Fate? I think we all know the answer to that...

2. Grand Pocket Orchestra
They are the lovechild of Pavement and Lisa Minelli. We all know that you got your dark times and you got your happy times. Grand Pocket Orchestra are somewhere in the middle. They write happy songs about not so happy things. It is their intention to make the awful seem not so bad. But if you feel that they have made the not so bad seem awful then they have failed, and for that they apologise. This is Grand Pocket Orchestra in a nutshell, and they are yours for the keeping.

3. Ilya K (2007)
Legend has it that Ilya K appeared from the mists of time - an assemblage of musicians and personalities with no surnames and a style of music thats been described as similtaneuosly mean and kind. The crew is Gannet on the synths, Bob on the drums, Spud on the bass and Cuddles on guitars. They epitomise the troubadour lifestyle playing epic shows anywhere and everywhere living on the generosity of the state while pursuing their higher goal of bringing their music to us all.

5. Dae Kim (2007)
Waterford based Dae Kim epitomise sleaze rock with distorted views, ballsy stomps and pounding drum and bass selections. Fronted by the former Ten Speed Racer drummer Terry Cullen, the band cut its teeth on a diet of strip club gigs and shows in strictly After Dark bars. Hailed by NME as - leaders of the new shoe-gaze movement - and with The Irish Times describing ther music as having - drama deeply buried in its grooves. The Dae Kim experience is a lush, layered and dramatic affair
