The Butterfly Explosion
Originally a solo home project of Gazz Carr, Butterfly Explosion has developed into a full blown band, releasing two EPs independently, touring North America, UK and Ireland, with interest bringing festival appearances as far afield as Austin Texas (SXSW) and Tallin Estonia (Paljassaare Rock Fest). Their increasingly epic live shows have seen them be championed by many as one of the most promising bands to emerge from Ireland in recent years.

JERRY FISH AND THE MUDBUG CLUB
What do you get when you cross Tom Waites with a Circus Showband, when you mix Jacques Brel with Mink DeVille, when you lock Dr John, Dean Martin and The Fun Lovin’ Criminals in the same room?
The answer, my friends, is Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club, the most eclectic bunch of musical chameleons ever to share a stage, all guided by the beatific gaze of chief Mudbug, Mr. Jerry Fish himself.
Great night with Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club at The Late Lounge on Sunday 27th December 2009.

The best thing I can say about the debut album of Creamy Goodness is that it takes me back. This pastiche of soul funk is something that you so rarely hear in the Irish music scene nowadays.
