  • Overview are in the studio, demoing a bunch of new material. I’m personally champing at the bit to get a hold of this stuff, but they’re being doggedly tight-lipped about it all.  Bound to be great, mind you, so I’ll keep you posted.
  • Although The Terribles are no more (alas!), leading light Neassa Doherty has released her own record - again on the wonderful Poltergeist Records.  You can have a listen over at Neassa’s MySpace or pick up a copy via http://www.roadrecs.com - search for Neassa Therese Doherty.
  • The erstwhile Vertigo Smyth is also demo-ing a bunch of new music and continuing his live shenanigans - last night he opened for Penny favorite So Cow in Cork’s Cyprus Ave.  Speaking of which…
  • Tom McShane will be joined by Vertigo Smyth (as well as Escape Act) in both Cork (July 11th, The Quad) and Limerick (July 12th, Baker Place) as the all-Ireland trek  in support of their split 7″ continues.  Tom’s opening slot for Holly Golightly was also a HUGE success (thanks for coming out, btw!)
  • And speaking of great support slots, we’re all positively bursting with excitement about Tom sharing the stage with the fabulous Mumblin’ Deaf Ro this Sunday @ Whelan’s in Dublin.
