CODES Video Shoot & Button Factory

Posted in codes, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on November 30, 2010 by RM

The ever so wonderful CODES have a new video out soon and I had the pleasure of popping in for a quick nose. I don’t want to ruin the many surprise so I’ll just post some sneaky behind the scenes/obscure/impossibly irrelevant
snaps. I’ll re-post with the video link when it’s wrapped!

They also played their last show of 2010 in the Button Factory. Immensely proud and utterly pissed was I. Their newest song Triangulum being the highlight of our starry night.

Raw Sessions (button factory)

Posted in Bands I've shot!, Dirty Epics, R.S.A.G., Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , on June 28, 2009 by RM

This post should really be called “SJ from Dirty Epics”… u’ll see why soon.

So Raw Sessions is coming to a close and we have RSAG, Majella Murphy, The Infomatics and The Dirty Epics in the semi’s (or was it the final? who knows!). They all played a few tunes in the Button Factory on Friday and the gig was recorded and due for broadcast on Tues.

Not sure how i feel about public votes… but I’m a snapper and not paid to think, thankfully! With that in mind… you can see why this post features mainly the Dirty Epics. Apols to everyone else but SJ does give us the most visually exciting stage show, which in my books is mega important!

Another great big APOLS to RSAG, who i couldn’t snap, due to complete and utter camera failure… so I’ve included a pic from his set at Choice awards….just to be fair!

Who do you think should win?!

Jape (button factory w/ Lisa Hannigan)

Posted in Bands I've shot!, Jape, Lisa Hannigan with tags , , , on May 24, 2009 by RM

wows…now not to gross you out but my theory is that you can tell just how good a gig was but the amount of sweat your covered in at the end (especially if it’s primarily other people’s)… and with this in mind, Jape was amazing!! Incredible atmosphere created by real fans who sang along and actually knew the words (well, except for the poor girl who volunteered to sing the chorus of Streetwise on stage… she did not know the words, even with 800 people singing them to her (she still rocked it tho, bless)…a mixture of quiet acousticy and boppy electricy tunes. And a lovely guest appearance from the incredibly ladylike Lisa Hannigan… genius!

no Phil Lynott tho… boo-urns :(

DIT Battle of Bands 2009

Posted in A Futurist Theatre, Bands I've shot!, Falter Ego with tags , , , , , , , on April 30, 2009 by RM

Bravo to A Futurist Theatre for stealing the show… hands down they deserved it. Tis been ages since i’ve had to pick my jaw up off the ground after a gig.But a word of caution, their myspace tunes do not do them one bit of justice. Check em live.

Line up also included Falter Ego, who i’ll admit were also smashing, and the J Walkers. There was another band, but i missed em… apols.
