Rubberbandits raise hell on Irish national radio

A few days back I posted this video:



Since then it's gotten 1.6 million views, gone to number 1 in the Irish charts, has gained a massive following looking to get it to the top spot for Christmas, sparked off massive nationwide debate and caused massive confusion worldwide as to what the fuck they were on about!

Nialler9 uploaded this clip to Soundcloud. It's an argument between a couple of tightarses, a comedian and senior politician on Ireland's Agony Aunt Joe Duffy's show ...one of the funniest things I've ever heard!

Rubberbandits & Willie O'Dea on RTE Liveline by rubberbanditsiv

And have a listen to the track:

Midweek Madness!!

Here are a few tasters for this Sunday's show. If you're near a radio in the west of Ireland (Connaught, Donegal, Derry, parts of Westmeath) Sunday's between 5:50 and 8:50 tune into i102-104fm or bop onto the net (i102104.ie)

I play three hours of new music, no matter the genre but generally of the youthful upbeat variety, the tracklist goes up the next day right here on the blog!

Final Fantasy is back with a new album, but Shock! Horror! he's gone and confused everyone by reverting back to his real name for the release of his third album Heartland. Oh dear. What I've heard sounds a little more electronic than his earlier stuff. Have a listen to this tune! Owen Pallett - Lewis Takes Off His Shirt

I found this tune on thestureidexperiment.com Don't know much about the band but this song is great! Happy Birthday - Girls FM

New Frightened Rabbit album, Winter Of Mixed Drinks is out March 1st. My favourite Scottish guys are one of my favourite bands from the past two years. Frightened Rabbit - Nothing Like You

I missed out on this one from a few weeks back, it's bangin'! Uffie - MC's Can Kiss

And remember kids, Substance is free in tonight wiht a free pint of Coors Light for the first 50 in at 11!

For the Novels tracks go to okaynovels.com

Novels are a super group of sorts made up of members of Will Currie And The Country French, Tokyo Police Club, Ex-Po, Born Ruffians and Jay Sad. They recorded an E.P in 72 hours and released it for free download, though they ask that you burn off a copy for you and one to leave lying around somewhere or give away. So if you like it go do that! I've sent my extra copy to the first listener who texted in to the show when I played one of the songs on Saturday looking for it.
