Played in Maynooth

2006-04-14T00:58:00.000Z

http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75236

We played another impromptu college thingy on Monday just gone. It was great fun even if only a handful (but what a handful) of people dug what we were doing! A fundraiser for the hellraisers who tore up a U.S. warplane that was parked in Shannon. I'd say that felt damn good. They use the word 'decommisionned' ... which is nice but I was hoping they'd use the phrase 'a fuckin good smashin'...

But they've asked us to play again so if there are any Maynoothians (Emmet Edmunds especially...) who'd like to come and see us we'll be sure to post it well in advance this time!

Stay tuned.

Solen over and out.

2006-04-03T13:35:00.000Z

...well that was fun wasn't it?!

Supporting Chris Clark, Milanese & Vex'd

2006-03-24T12:31:00.000Z

We're playing in the Temple Bar Music Centre this Friday the 31st March 2006 in the front room with T-Woc and others, supporting Clark (Formerly known as Chris Clark), Milanese and Vex'd.

Doors are at 9.30 so come early so you can get in cheap and see all the excellent acts. €16 before 10.30pm €17 afterwards til late.

Yes it's gonna be great! Anyone who was at Chris Clark's free (and thoroughly unexpected) gig in Whelan's 2 years ago will know that he's a stomper live! Time to put those bells on everybody. This could well be the first good gig of the summer! (if the fucking weather picks up... ugh... and I know it's technically spring...)

Oh yeah. And come see us play too! Cosy front room. Conducive to dancing. New songs for yis!

Played in Dun Laoghaire...

2006-02-25T17:46:00.000Z

A short notice gig just kind of happened on thursday just gone in the Dun Laoghaire Art & Design college.
Great live visuals from the animation guys.
I'm presuming nobody would have come had this been posted before the actual gig but how and ever!

...yyyyup...

Ice Bar Last Friday

2006-02-13T18:01:00.000Z

The Ice Bar last friday was great!

Great bar and bar people.

The Alphabet Set guys are a fantastic bunch. You must check out T-Woc's new ep: Reign Blood. It's beautiful. And yes. I do realise that nobody reads this blog soooo... well you must check it anyway!

Lazybird 22/1/6

2006-01-23T22:16:00.000Z

Last night we played a set upstairs in the International bar and all went swimmingly. Lazybird (www.lazybird.org) is one of the only nights in Dublin where great music is available on a weekly basis. Every Sunday like clockwork. Jim Bowen Arrow stole the show with a song that managed to be about Patrick Swayze and paedophiles all at once! Papercut transported us to another place with his noise and Crayonsmith finished with the best boss drum machine outro I've heard in a long time. We could have played worse so all went well.

I think we're playing there again soon with the alphabet set guys. Yet to be confirmed however. I will let you know when I know.

Solen step into cyberspace

2006-01-23T21:27:00.000Z

Solen take that step across the digital threshold and announce their presence in cyberspace. We have arrived...

Perhaps a ceremonious/sanctemonious bugle parp is in order to herald our arrival.
