DECEMBER

4th MICHAEL O'BRIEN & band + C O NEILL *
Michael O Brien has been playing gigs in Cavan for the past 6 years. Past performances include: The Loft in Cavan, where he played support for Sonny Condell, Poxogen '06, "The Impromtu Wigwam Session" in The Body & Soul at Electric Picnic '06 and numerous local venues in Cavan. More recent performances include headline slots in Bewleys on Grafton St & The Cobblestones in Dublin. He also plays regularly at the "ORIGINS" original music gigs of which he is organizer & co-founder.
Michael plays both solo and in a band with his brother Ferdia ..board, Tom Flynn on drums and Jamie Byrne ( from IAMA) on bass. He currently spends his time building up "ORIGINS" and working on an EP and Album....

C O NEILL hails from Cavan & plays with the talented Jamie Byrne & Ronnie O Flynn. Plans for the release of an album in early 2009 are currently being laid in place but in the meantime Ciaran is hitting the road for over 2 weeks in November and December to test the new material in the hope of building an audience for the album upon its release. Ciaran plays a blend of lo-fi experimental acoustic folk in the vein of Devendra Banhart or Wilco.

5th The Brothers Movement & guests Skinsize Kings + Disconnect 4
The Brothers Movement only came into existence in 2007. It's a measure of how highly regarded The Brothers Movement have become within music circles in such a short period of time that they were invited to open for The Jesus And Mary Chain in The Roundhouse, London in March 08. Further evidence of the potential of this band came when Black Rebel Motorcycle Club invited The Brothers Movement to open for their entire European tour in June 08. Over the last couple of years these hard working rock n' rollers have built up an impressive roll call of opening slots with some of the finest bands on the planet with the likes of Primal Scream, Ian Brown, MC5, Chemical Brothers, Sonic Youth and Brian Jonestown Massacre among the bands with whom they have shared a stage.

Skinsize Kings formed in early 2006 intent to invent (to vent their dissent) impressively expressive, aggressively progressive sounds with no bounds that surround and astound and pursue avenues that enthuse and infuse a sense

MAY
1st TOM FUN ORCHESTRA (CANADA) & guests
The Tom Fun Orchestra are a 10 piece roots act who are coming to Ireland to play the Kilkenny Rhythm n' Roots Festival. They have added a few dates around the country before and after the festival including this Thursday night at the Stables. Expect a thoroughly high octane night of rock and roll.
THE TOM FUN ORCHESTRA bring their energetic stage show to Ireland and Scotland for a two-week tour.
Two months after the Canadian release of their debut album, The Tom Fun Orchestra is turning a headlining spot at the Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival into a two-week tour of Ireland and Scotland. In support of this tour, three songs from 'You Will Land With a Thud', produced by Gordon Gano (The Violent Femmes) and Warren Bruleigh (The Pixies, Louise Attaque), will be available as an EP through iTunes in Ireland and the UK on April 29.
With recent high-profile showcases at Canadian Music Week and the East Coast Music Awards, live radio and national television performances, and an album that's been climbing charts across the country, the nine-piece "cluster rock" band from Cape Breton Island has been heralded as the next big thing to emerge from the burgeoning Canadian east coast music scene.
Although hard to classify, Tom Fun's music has been described as "... a unique style of ...rock and roll music which incorporates every form of musical roots in an intoxicating blend".
In addition to headlining performances at Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival, The Tom Fun Orchestra will be supporting Frightened Rabbit for three shows in Scotland.
Complete tour schedule is as follow
