The Bull Monro - Late November

When developing a new sound for 2010 it cant hurt to turn the volume up to eleven, can it? Not for The Bull Monro, who release their debut single, Late November this mid May. And shit, it’s loud.

The Bull Monro have been cutting their teeth on the live circuit for quite some time now, elating audiences from Wicklow to Wroclaw. The duo, comprised of Danny Maher and Rob McComish have spent the past few months working on a worthy stock pile of tunes from their catalogue of self proclaimed anti-folk punk funk.

From the first punch of the drums it’s instant that Late November is a move away from the acoustic based songs of old and an embrace of new experimental electronic influences. MGMT wish they came up with this sound. So does Timbaland. The snaps, the rumbles, the thuds, the build-ups, the breaks, its high octane, its danceable, its moshable. It’s a big filthy cake of musical delights that you want to dive head first in to. As far as duo’s go The Bull Monro are scaling the heights with The Black Keys and The White Stripes. 

Late November 2009 holds significance to Maher as the phrase is repeated like a mantra over McComish’s thundering beats. It’s a date he won’t forget, it’s a song you won’t want to. 

Listen to this weeks Sabotage on RTE 2XM for an exclusive play and interview with the band;

Nouveaunoise Return

Nouveaunoise 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.

Over the last few months www.myspace.com/nouveaunoise  has been reporting some mild activity. Slim, yet encouraging signs of a revival. Then, just a couple of weeks ago Messrs. Gaffney and Conway dropped the bomb that their debut album Paraphrase Accolade is due to explode upon us unsuspecting earthlings in May 2010.


Combining organic electronica with soothing instrumentation, grooving beats and live synths  Nouveaunoise are a breath of fresh air on the Irish music scene. As a Live outfit the duo are nothing short of astounding. One look at the mass array of diverse instruments, leads and hardware on the stage would bedazzle the most adept musical virtuoso.
This news adds itself to  a mighty encouraging sign that 2010 will be a year in which we witness the magic return to the Irish music scene.

The debut single Cinnte will be available for download on Double A-side next week. Keep an eye on www.myspace.com/nouveaunoise for more info.
