So,
Last Saturday I mosied on down to The Moat Theatre Naas to check out their annual battle of the bands. Their were a few people I knew playing in it, including my cousin, and I was in the mood for a break from my college work. What's a better break than listening to some tunes and snapping a few pics!
Their were two showcase bands also playing, Miracle Bell and Funzo. I have been a fan of Miracle Bell for quite some time now and I think they have really perfected their sound now. Their first single "Fit For Love" off of their up and coming album "Light Shape Sound" was released on itunes on the 26th of March and if you get time I really recommend downloading it and having a listen. It'll be worth the 99 cent!!
Check them out here for upcoming dates and things like that:
I had never heard the other band which played, Funzo, but I have to say I really liked them. They were different, and I like different. It was a nice change from the usual over fuzzed noise pit that a lot of bands seem to be falling into! I really recommend looking them up to. They won't be everyone's cup of tea (which was made clear to me by my sister) but I quite like them.
Anyway, at the battle of the bands, 12 young bands battled out to win a recording day and a slot at the K fest which will be taking place during the Punchestown festival in Naas. There were a few good bands and I want to say congrats to the two bands which tied for first place, Side FX and Faabjous Day.
A good Day was had!

One thing that iffed me a bit though was the lack of girls in the bands. There was one girl out of all the 12 bands!! Come on ladies! What's happened to Girl Power!! So myself and my friend Hooch have plans for the summer to get together and create some tunes. Whether or not a band shall form or not is a mystery but I guess you shall just have to watch this space!
Then it was Sunday, which was Easter, which meant I no longer had to starve myself of chocolate!! Oh the joy I felt eating that Wispa was unreal haha! I actually stayed up till midnight on Saturday just to have a wispa and a can of coke. It was heavenly!
There is a chocolate bunny currently staring at me from across the sitting room, but I'm trying to restrain myself and pace the chocolate consumption so that I don't eat till I explode!

So, I'm into the second week of my Easter holidays. Not that I can really call them holidays seeing as I've been working right throughout!!! I have 5 different deadlines, 4 of which are due next week and I also have a film to finish for the week after that. I think I'm making good progress on the film, but true to form I had to make it very difficult for myself and make it 3 times the length it was meant to be. Well done Claire, well done for being an idiot!
I really need to get out and do something that doesn't involve drawing a girl with illuminous orange hair and a boy that my mother has nicknamed Rolf due to his resmblence to a young Rolf Harris. (I was not amused by the comparison) but I'm scared that if I take any more time off I wont get it done, and I really wanna prove that I can get it done! *sigh*
Anyway, I better get back to work, hopefully I can get a few more scenes done before dinner.
Toodles
