HousePlants are Paul Noonan and Daithi. They released their second album Half Known Things on October 18 and talk about its creation on this episode of the TPOE podcast. Buy Half Known Things: https://wearehouseplants.bandcamp.com/album/half-known-thingsh HousePlants tour dates: December 27: Roisin Dubh, Galway December 28: Cyprus Avenue, Cork January 11: Dolan's Warehouse, Limerick January 30, 31: Button Factory, Dublin Intro music: HousePlants - Swimming Pool Outro music: HousePlants - Hope is a Hell of a Drug --- Press release: HousePlants have built a reputation for their electrifying live performances, from festivals like All Together Now and Beyond the Pale, to opening slots for legends such as Chic and Leftfield. Their unique combination of energetic rhythms and heart-on-sleeve storytelling has earned them a loyal following. With Half Known Things, the band promises to deliver more of the vibrant, feel-good energy that has become their hallmark, while venturing deeper into sonic experimentation and live band dynamics. Paul Noonan reflects on the evolution from their debut: "This album was very much informed by playing shows with the first one, feeling what was connecting and creating those euphoric collective moments. With Dry Goods, we were sending each other parts from our respective bunkers. This time, we had the luxury of being in the same room for some of it and making decisions in the moment. Every decision, we asked, ‘Will it make the people move?' The result is an album full of heart, heat, and groove, with distorted textures and vibrant beats driving the music forward. From the album opener “In The Right Light” to the seven-minute opus “No Pushover,” Half Known Things pulses with life, capturing the raw, raucous energy of their live performances. Daithí shares his journey throughout the making of the album: "Half Known Things feels alive in a way I've never experienced before – we've tried to capture the wild energy of our live shows and bottle it into these nine tracks. It's music that's messy, human, and alive, which to me is the heart of what HousePlants is all about." Standout tracks include 'Swimming Pool', an upbeat anthem that captures the messy joy of life, and 'My Love My Umbrella', a haunting ballad that draws inspiration from Irish writer John McGahern's works. From start to finish, Half Known Things offers a sonic experience that is simultaneously introspective and celebratory, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the music, and most importantly, have fun.

Richie Egan aka Jape has just released his sixth studio album Endless Thread, via Faction Records. Egan produced and recorded the album at RARN studio using a unique collection of ribbon microphones, tape machines and tube outboard equipment. The album was mixed by David Odlum (Sam Smith, Lisa O'Neill) and mastered by Seán MacErlaine. The artwork was assembled by M&E Sweden. "I've been putting all my focus onto getting into the tiny details of songs these days, there is so much joy in the details. The title Endless Thread reminds me we are all stitches on the rug of time who influence each other and inspire people in ways we don't even know half the time, whether it's an artist from the past or a thread on a social media page." On this episode, Richie talks through making the album, life in Sweden, being and staying creative, and what to expect from his upcoming tour, which includes a quiz he's calling Japery.

Dublin-born, London-based artist Niall Jackson aka Swimmers Jackson releases his second album Now Is All via his own Wonky Karousel Records label this Friday, April 7. Made between March 2020 and March 2022, it's a journey of sorts through the pandemic. He released his debut album Murmuration in May 2020, but with no opportunity to tour, Jackson took to writing as many songs as possible to document the feelings of that time before heading back into a studio in Limerick over Christmas 2021 and St Patrick's Day 2022. Armed with a handful of songs about loss of identity, an uncertain future, concerns with society's direction, and getting older against your will, the resulting album Now Is All is both hard fought and hard won. We talk about life in London, his creative process, getting radio play from Steve Lamacq, and go through some of the tracks on the album.

Colin Devaney is a musician, vocal coach and voiceover artist from Galway, Ireland. Colin started playing guitar at the age of 16, getting one guitar lesson on how to play a Barre chord before he realised he would have to play Love Me Tender by Elvis at the next lesson and just never went back. He would busk on the streets of Galway on and off for around 4 years or so, the perfect environment to learn how to be ignored - while also playing in venues like The Roisin Dubh, the Cellar Bar, etc... supporting bands like Chris Pontius' band Scream for Me, the Minutes, and Damien Dempsey. However, Colin realised that he wasn't breaking ground in Galway and, rather than invest in a vehicle, he emigrated to London at 22. Colin would spend nearly 7 years there, recording tracks, having fun playing gigs in all sorts of places to all sorts of people, eating absolutely everything and working all sorts of menial jobs to pay the rent on crumbling, horrible, cold apartments, finally settling in a warehouse in North London before realising he hadn't made any real progress artistically in years, A&R people ultimately saying they "didn't have any faith in the product" and PR companies refusing to market it. Colin ended up doubling down into a career position in HR that ended up being absolutely dead end for him - until a text asking if he wanted to visit a friend in Vietnam after a particularly emotional meeting inspired him to give up the job, warehouse, friends and even music to be "a guy eating noodles" for a while, a description he says he stays loyal to, to this day. On arriving in Vietnam, Colin was immediately thrust into the loving bosom of the Hanoi music scene through open mics and offered gigs pretty much immediately, which became his job. He was tipped off to more opportunities in Central Vietnam, and Colin was growing tired of the air pollution and 5am sleeping times, so he packed his life into a motorbike and drove to Hoi An and Da Nang, where he has lived for the last 3 1/2 years. We conclude Part 1 of this podcast with a discussion about success and how Colin's perspectives on it have changed through the years. #Music in the show is from his 2012 Album called 'This is the Sound'. You can listen to it in full on Bandcamp and if you want you could even do what i did myself and buy it for the price of your choice https://colindevaney.bandcamp.com/ In Part 2 coming next week we will discuss physical and mental health, tips for aspiring musicians, life changing moments, sobriety and gratitude among many other things.

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Thin Lizzy, empezó su vida en Dublín en 1969, cuando dos amigos de la infancia: Phil Lynott y Brian Downey fueron abordados por dos ex miembros de la banda de Van Morrison, Them: Eric Wrixon (teclados) y Eric Bell (guitarra). Antes de esto, Lynott y Downey habían estado tocando juntos en un grupo denominado "Orphanage" (orfanato), junto con Pat Quigley en el bajo y la guitarra de Joe Staunton. El recién formado Thin Lizzy vio a Brian Downey a la batería y Lynott en bajo y voz. Su primer lanzamiento, en Parlophone Records, se produjo en julio de 1970: era una composición original de Lynott llamada "The Farmer", se prensaron unas 500 copias del single, con unos 283 vendidos: un humilde comienzo, puede ser, pero la banda estaba destinada para grandes cosas. Poco después, Wrixon dejó la banda y los tres miembros restantes continuaron tocando en vivo casi todas las noches de la semana. Peter Eustace, roadie del grupo recordó: "Thin Lizzy era la banda de Eric al principio, y Phil apenas figuraba. Mi primer recuerdo de Thin Lizzy en directo fue ver a Eric desarrollando sus mímicas de Jeff Beck y Jimi Hendrix." En 1971 firman para Decca Records, compañía que lanza "Thin Lizzy" su primer álbum. "Thin Lizzy" y "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" (su siguiente álbum, de 1972) fueron descritos como LP's interesantes y peculiares que tienden a desafiar la categorización fácil. Su temprana fama fue ayudada por el disc-jockey Kid Jensen, que les difunde en su programa de Radio Luxemburgo (una emisora del Gran Ducado que transmitía para las islas Británicas), comenzando a construir de este modo una carrera subterránea fuerte. Durante 1972 recorrieron Europa, ellos sabían que si querían entrar en un mercado más amplio, tenían que perseverar y tocar en Inglaterra. Más tarde ese año, Slade se fue de gira y se los llevó de teloneros, Decca lanzó un single para que coincida con esta gira, y escogieron una canción folclórica tradicional irlandesa: "Whiskey in the Jar", su primer éxito, que se mantuvo en la cima de las listas irlandesas durante 17 semanas, y alcanzó el número 6 en Inglaterra. Comienzan a trabajar en "Vagabonds of the Western World", su tercer álbum, que fue lanzado en el otoño de 1973. La combinación del arte pop de la portada con temáticas irlandesas en las canciones, junto con un diseño trebolado en la parte posterior, demostró la progresión creciente de la visión de Phil para el grupo: mística celta más hard rock contundente. Downey dijo: "La calidad de la escritura de Phil sumada a la agresión de la música creó un buen álbum. Creo que con "The Rocker" solo basta para resumir perfectamente de qué se trataba Thin Lizzy en ese momento." Durante este período Phil comenzó a tomar las riendas creativas de la banda y Eric Bell dejó el grupo en 1974. Fue reemplazado por Gary Moore durante unos meses, mientras se embarcaban en un tour irlandés, y luego en una gira inglesa. Una serie de fechas en Alemania fue lo próximo, con los guitarristas Andy Gee y John Cann. A pesar del trabajo, el éxito en las listas seguía eludiendo a la banda y Lynott y Downey estaban a punto de tirar la toalla: afortunadamente, en lugar de eso, contratan a dos nuevos guitarristas: Brian "Robbo" Robertson, escocés de Glasgow, y el californiano Scott Gorham, estas incorporaciones señalarían una nueva era para Thin Lizzy. El contrato con "Decca" se había agotado, y la recién reformada alineación firma con Phonogram/Vertigo, mediante la cual aparece "Night Life", su cuarto álbum, que fue lanzado en noviembre de 1974, entre tanto, la banda prosigue con ensayos y trabajo, perfeccionando su acto, tendiente a convertirse en un grupo más conjuntado y más consumado. "Fighting" El próximo álbum, que gana la calle en 1975, ve el estilo de Lizzy desarrollarse de manera más armoniosa, con las líneas de guitarra de Gorham y Robertson. Como Scott recuerda: "Wishbone Ash habían introducido las guitarras gemelas antes que nosotros, pero nosotros nos llevamos la idea, y la pusimos en un contexto de rock más pesado, con más agresión." Su arduo trabajo se vio recompensado con "Jailbreak", el nuevo álbum editado en 1976, y con el single "The Boys Are Back in Town", ambos fueron grandes éxitos internacionales, alcanzando el número 8 en las listas del Reino Unido. Al llegar al top 20 en los EE. UU., las ventas del álbum superaron las 100.000 copias, por lejos, su mayor éxito hasta la fecha. A caballo de esto, "Johnny the Fox", su próximo álbum, lanzado en octubre de 1976, fue certificado como disco de oro, y el single "Don't Believe a Word" alcanzó el número 12 en las listas del Reino Unido. Después de una gira británica exitosa, a finales de 1976, la banda estaba lista para un tour por los Estados Unidos, cuando Brian Robertson fue herido y se vieron obligados a cancelarlo. De todos modos se fueron a América como teloneros de Queen, con Gary Moore como reemplazo provisional de Robertson. Una vez que la gira había terminado, Robertson confirmó que no iba a volver al grupo, por lo cual quedan reducidos a trio, con Phil, Brian Downey y Scott Gorham, formación que graba "Bad Reputation", el álbum de 1977. No obstante Robertson volvió a reincorporarse a Lizzy durante la grabación del álbum, y se quedó con el grupo durante las sesiones, incluso tocando en vivo con la banda en apariciones especiales hasta agosto de 1978, cuando finalmente se fue para formar Wild Horses. "Bad Reputation" fue lanzado en septiembre de 1977 y llegó al número 4 en las listas inglesas, empujado por el suceso de "Jailbreak" y "Johnny the Fox", y entronando a Thin Lizzy como una de las bandas de rock más exitosas de la época. Thin Lizzy se embarcó en una gira por los EE. UU. en el otoño de 1977, y al año siguiente comenzó el trabajo de mezclas de un doble álbum en vivo: "Live and Dangerous", el cual fue un éxito a ambos lados del Atlántico. Más tarde, en 1978 giran una vez más por EE. UU., esta vez con Gary Moore en sustitución de Robbo: otro ausente fue Brian Downey, quien afirmaría: "Yo estaba totalmente exhausto" [...] "Yo simplemente no podía soportarlo más, no quería ver otro escenario en mi vida, y desde luego no quería ir a Australia, como se había propuesto." La banda reservó a Mark Nauseef (baterista de la Ian Gillan Band) para la ocasión, como reemplazo de Brian para el tour. Al final de la gira de 1978, Phil, Scott, Gary y el ahora descansado Brian Downey, se reunieron en Londres y París para trabajar en el siguiente LP, "Black Rose: A Rock Legend", finalmente lanzado en 1979: la pieza central de la obra fue la canción homónima, titulada -en gaélico- "Roisin Dubh".De nuevo en la carretera en los EE. UU., las fricciones dentro de la banda crecieron y dieron lugar a que Gary Moore fuese reemplazado abruptamente por Midge Ure en medio de la gira. El guitarrista Dave Flett, ex Manfred Mann's Earth Band, fue incorporado también a bordo para las fechas en Japón, lo que permitió a Midge cambiar a los teclados para algunas canciones, y permitió a los espectadores apreciar el fenómeno de tres guitarras solistas sobre el escenario. Después de las giras, Darren Wharton fue reclutado como teclista a tiempo completo, lo que permite a Midge honrar su compromiso anterior de unirse al grupo Ultravox. David Flett fue reemplazado por "Snowy" White en 1980, quien debutó en el álbum "Chinatown" (1980), aunque finalmente dio paso a John Sykes, que trajo consigo la energía de un joven guitarrista a Thin Lizzy. 1980 también vio el lanzamiento de "Solo in Soho", primer álbum en solitario de Phil: "Pearl Yellow" fue posteriormente elegido como tema musical del programa de la BBC Top of the Pops. Aunque catalogado como un álbum en solitario, el LP incluyó a Brian, Scott, Snowy White, Midge Ure, Mark Knopfler y Huey Lewis, entre otros. El compilado "The Adventures of Thin Lizzy" fue lanzado en 1981 y fue disco de oro en el Reino Unido, esto fue seguido de "Renegade", el nuevo álbum editado ese mismo año, junto con una gira. Thin Lizzy además encabezó el primer Festival de Slane, en Irlanda, con el apoyo de artistas como U2, Hazel O'Connor o Rose Tattoo. Las decepcionantes ventas, tanto de "Renegade" como del segundo álbum en solitario de Phil, precipitaron una gira de despedida, para coincidir con el lanzamiento de "Thunder and Lightning" (1983), aunque tanto el nuevo disco como las fechas en vivo fueron todo un éxito, y causaron un resurgimiento del interés por el grupo. Con John Sykes ahora a bordo del viaje, el tour duró casi un año, y culminó en una función de gala en el Hammersmith Odeon, con invitados especiales. El álbum doble en vivo "Life" recoge esta joya en directo, aunque el disco recibió una edición tardía. El último concierto de Thin Lizzy en el Reino Unido fue el 28 de agosto de 1983, en el Festival de Reading. Su concierto de despedida fue el 4 de septiembre de ese año en el Monsters of Rock Festival, en Nuremberg, Alemania.

Host Andrew Moose welcomes Ben, Eli, and Courtney of The Tan & Sober Gentlemen to this episode of I'm with the Band!Born and raised in the North Carolina backcountry, The Tan and Sober Gentlemen began taking in the songs, stories, and tunes that make up their beloved state's heritage before they could talk. Despite having played music together in some form or another for most of their lives, the current lineup was formed in the summer of 2016. Past performances range from the Cat's Cradle, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, Appaloosa Festival, and IBMA's World of Bluegrass in the States to Spraoi Festival, Whelan's, and the Roisin Dubh in Ireland.The band aims to explore the Gaelic roots of North Carolinian music, and to play it with as much energy as humanly possible. Tan and Sober hangs their hat on the fact that, no matter the venue or the crowd, their live show will have the audience engaged, smiling, and drenched with sweat. As far as folk music goes, they're about the best drinking and dancing band you'll find.

Dublin's Soda Blonde released their debut EP Terrible Hands on November 8 and ahead of an Ireland/UK tour, singer Faye O'Rourke talks about how they grew out of Little Green Cars, where these songs came from, what they hope to achieve with Soda Blonde and lots more. Soda Blonde tour dates: November 16: The Kino, Cork November 23: Roisin Dubh, Galway November 26: Paper Dress Vintage, London November 27: Soup Kitchen, Manchester November 29: Dolan's, Limerick December 6: The Black Box, Belfast December 15-16: Whelan's, Dublin Press release: Soda Blonde are fronted by singer-songstress Faye O'Rourke, Adam O'Regan (keys and guitar), Donagh Seaver O'Leary (bass) and Dylan Lynch (drums), who all emerged from the ashes of internationally acclaimed band Little Green Cars. The transformation is led by a distinctive new sound which seamlessly weaves together influences from Fleetwood Mac, Little Dragon, Bat for Lashes and Kate Bush whilst still keeping the integrity and unique charm that sky-rocketed Little Green Cars' success. The result… enticing, dreamy alternative-pop music. This new collection of songs titled as the Terrible Hands EP (self-produced by the band themselves at their Dublin HQ) were all written by lead singer Faye O'Rourke throughout her early 20s where she honed in on her unique lyrical style that has been called gritty kitchen-sink realism, evoking the tragic beauty of Karen Carpenter and the pop sensibilities of Annie Lennox ”In light of the times we live in 'Terrible Hands' was chosen as the title track for our EP. It touches on failed relationships, personal short comings and self-discovery. It was written over a hugely transitional period for all of us and was nothing but joy to create. We've been busy preparing the new material for the last few months and are so excited to get to share them to a live audience.” – Faye O'Rourke
