School’s out, work’s out, spending’s out, saving’s as likely as another Solas festival, haven’s as likely as another Solas festival; sunbathing, however, is a joyously regular possibility and that, in this kip, is beyond enough to herald the remaining summer months with aplomb aplenty. Some of you, including me, have already been finely frizzled at quite literally the time of our Life. The festival’s transplant a minor miracle and as positive a cue for the sun as we’ve seen for longer than any memory matters. Sonar, Sea Sessions and newbie No Place Like Dome have bridged the gap since nicely, and both Knockanstockan and Glasgowbury stand ready and waiting this July.. Read more... Ninth year, times the fifth month = our 45th issue. Freaky... Meant to be? A lazy intro?? 50/50 I'd say... (I'll start again then, shall I?) First sun, second wind, and two of Ireland's finest... Yes, traditionally May gives way for a lighter brand of lunacy. Midnight mischief dons her backpack and shades, as the doom and gloom fades, and flirts her way to a festive fumble. Ditching larks in the dark, she's set to make hermark, in as visible a fashion as feasible. You'll succumb to her powers, unlike those fun-fearing cowards, and climb on for the ride of your life.

It's not some naff teeny-rock band, it's not a particularly funny episode of Family Guy, it's certainly not a calamitously over-hyped American President, and neither is it the slowest route imaginable Townsend Street to Enniskerry...
No folks, this 44 refers to (drum roll) Connected's latest issue.
Our 44th effort to introduce great new music, our 44th reasonably proud moment, and my 44th attempt at a witty intro...
(How's it going so far?? No? I concur...)
Anyway we'll try not to get bogged down in...

Connected says g’day to Aussie rockers Eskimo Joe- sending in an intrepid reporter to investigate the future plans of these famously refrigerated flaming galahs. Read more... Peter: "We explained politely that we are doing more to encourage, sustain and
develop homegrown music in this country than they are, on a fraction of
what it costs to furnish their new office. I think they got the hint."

 Bob: "People can wear what they want but we do strongly encourage all domains

through fancy dress... And yes we do have costume camp!"

 But the writhing mass explodes for the fast-food themed party-ode 'Down at McDonnelzz', surging forward during 'Dirty Ball' and love-song-to-electronics 'Synthesiser' in desperate hope of feeling even the slightest touch of Valentine's pimp-ish pinstripes.

With a twist of hope, a dash of industry hatred, and a pitcher of
Nightflight, D-light; tools and toys, Clockwork Noise; some Bitches, one Bob and a Tubelord... Reader’s Wives, Supafast jives, and the ever present Sounds Of System Breakdown... Yes as we near the end of lap one of Ireland’s race to the bottom; the pits, indeed, have claimed many – and as we ponder the frugal future of publishing, pink skinned from slaps aplenty, it’s amazing what sights are now glimpsed around the next bend...
look of; and steering clear of the same old suspects, covered by everyone else, all the time... Populist photocopying – while no doubt pretty and a great way to parlay – is not the objective here. This winds some people up no end. We couldn’t care less. Self important? Silver spooned?
Michael Jackson, MTV, Hiroshima. Yes August certainly has a lot to answer

From this season of swan songs, a sibling style springs. Bucking trends, endeavouring to make amends, for our dear departed comrades... No Event Guide, no State, only that rag that I hate (which is about as useful and relevant as rickets). But we can't let this year, subside our cheer,
were making waves this time two years ago. After garnering
much attention following support slots for Super Extra Bonus Party and
Messiah J and The Expert, not to mention some phenomenal headline dates
in Galway Dublin and Cork things were looking very bright indeed for
the West coast duo. But then they disappeared. Lost to the ether... or
so we thought.
If Jungle was massif and Drum and Bass punctuated your summer of love, chances are, your bass was brought by Bukem.
