Todays video is from Dublin hardcore punks, 20BullsEach, a great track from their album, Lost Causes. They played in the Vinyl Bar last summer and are hitting the Zoo Bar in Kilkenny on Saturday 29th. You can find out more about this upcoming gig here. For now “Bow Down”.

KilkennyMusic.com celebrates its 2nd birthday today so make sure to swing by and leave some love. As CarlowMusic gets a facelift in the coming weeks and we step up our services and coverage of the Carlow music scene, you can get a sneak preview of things to come over at KKM.
In just two short years we’ve come a long way, but none of it could have happened without the bands and musicians we’ve worked with, and of course the people who use the forums and the website. KKM now has over 1000 registered users, band profiles, downloads and as Resident Photographer I’m proud to announce there is now 1000 photographs in the KKM Galleries.
As far as we are concerned, “we’re only getting started!” but hopefully as KKM continues to grow, we will be able to offer the same services to bands, musicians and music fans from the Carlow area.
I’ll say it again, “change is coming!” but for now it’s back to birthday celebrations. “Happy 2nd Birthday KilkennyMusic.com!”
Just a heads up that within the next week or so we’ll be bringing CarlowMusic.com more in line with KilkennyMusic.com by terms of appearance. This will mean opening up more areas of the site and kicking off the gallery.
If you’ve got shots from nights out in Carlow you would like to share (gig nights) then get in touch today!
Dave Browne (Picturehouse) hits Kilkenny this weekend in advance of the release of his new album ‘Windows To The Soul’. Tickets for the gig, kicking off at 10pm this Saturday in Cleere’s, are 20 euro each but we’re giving away two pairs of tickets (total value €80) through KilkennyMusic.com.
All you have to do is go here and leave a comment on the post with your name. Winners will be drawn on Friday afternoon. Tickets can’t be exchanged for cash, sorry!
You can hear tracks from ‘Windows To The Soul’ on the night as well as music from Dave’s forthcoming live EP release ‘Prelude’ which hits the shops next month.
Here’s your video for today its the new Foo Fighters single ‘the pretender’.
Happy Tuesday!
A great little video from California’s punk legends, NoFx. And a catchy little tune to get you through Monday!

This might help you bring this lazy Sunday to life!
As I’ve just announced on my staff blog, change is coming to CarlowMusic!
In the next few weeks the site will begin to grow much the same as KilkennyMusic.com, which celebrates it’s 2nd Birthday this coming week. New features will include a forum, a gallery and a downloads section. All we need is YOU!
We’ll be looking for bands, musicians and music lovers from the Carlow music scene and area to help all this grow! If you want to promote your band, a new recording, tell people about an upcoming gig, get your stuff reviewed on our staff blogs, have a track played on the SoundSystem podcast, all of this and much more then CarlowMusic.com will be the place to do it!
As Ken has said, myself (Ross) and Boo are taking over the reigns here at CarlowMusic and it starts with the video of the day. First up on my choices is the “cowboys from hell” with a cracker video! I know for a fact all of us here at CLM have gone nuts to this one at some stage!
