So I'm immaculate now!
Brilliant. Like the conception.

roxy

I was gonna say that at least people are consistent when they spell your name wrong, Tadhg.

D'you think maybe they're all right and it's you that's been getting it wrong all these years.

A friend of mine grew up thinking her birthday was April 21st. then one day when she was about 16 they looked at the birth cert and realised it was April 22nd.

Isn't that gas.

El Chico

I'm gonna be there, and i have a feeling that there may be a few other people there too. this is definitely the only gig to go to on friday the 15th of august. don't think theres anything else decent on that night anyway. I also heard rumours that the losers are gonna be handing out free lollipops.

yowza

Saint-dotsie

I shall be there with "the skies "

T.B.L.

Just a little update on what's going on, we were on newstalk 106fm last night doing a few acoustic songs last night which is useless information now but it shoulda been up last night and the e.p. will be goiong on sale on friday 15th august in tower records, the doors are at 7 :30 that night in whelans and the lollipops are a lie, a complete lie I tell you. Pete (read) you are on the guessliost and hope to see you there and we have the money we owe you aswell, tom.

Amz

great gig, i like the ep. Tadhg cooke was brialliant and I'm not usually mad on singer songwriters, he will put david kitt to shame.

I agree but he should change his name to Thai Cook for the laugh... I'm easily amused.

mojopin

sure isnt mr.kitt releasing an album next week or something? Thai Cooke, hmm I dont think it has the same ring to it really, what a hard name to spell though, jeez

tiggertigger

I kind of had my heart set on
changing my name to englebert humperdink.
Then I found out somebody had already changed
their name to englebert humperdink, and it
didn't seem like such a good idea after all.
Thai Cook sounds good. It might be a big hit
with Good Housekeeping. I may even get a
centrefold for Woman & Home.
Any more suggestions for a new name?

Amz

I like the sounds of that centrefold!!

Rar!

No no Tadhg you've got the wrong idea altogether. Yours is a name that no other Irish singer-songwriter on the block at the moment has.

And having a distinctive name means that some day soon you will join the esteemed ranks of Justin, Britney, Christina, Kylie....Jason.

And it will be at that point, my friend, that will have made it.

Amen

nice review of your ep up on irismagazine.net thier lads if yous havnt seen it,



The Beautiful Losers – Last Dance of the Pagans EP



Skulking around many a Dublin venue over the last while, The Beautiful Losers have been cutting out a comfortable niche for themselves in Dublin’s underground rock elite. This EP is their leap out into the daylight and will hopefully lead to higher ground. Mixing delicate sweeps with heavy riffing, tender lament with bitter lyrical retort, this is a mature and dynamic debut from the Dublin foursome.



From the title track opener to closing track “Two Minutes of Histrionics” it is obvious that the lads are attempting to delve a little bit deeper musically and lyrically than their scene counterparts.



From tackling the issues of Irish neutrality and ancient history in “Last Dance…”, to an internal quest for revenge in “Relapse”, its fair to say there’s a lot of emphasis on the darker sides of life here. This depth of lyrics is thankfully balanced by the power and control of the instrumentation, preventing any over-emphasis on an underlying ‘message’. This is alternative rock after all, and where’s the fun if you can’t nod your head violently to someone telling you “I ate your flesh, I drank your polemic”?


The Beautiful Losers have found a good balance here with lead singer Brian Kelly’s powerful vocals being matched by Tom Boland’s ability to shape the guitar sound. The rhythm section is also tight throughout and helps to gel the band at places where the creative elements could be tempted to get a little too experimental and distant.



All in all, this is a refreshing debut from an Irish band who aren’t afraid to sound a little heavier and darker than the status quo. With a couple of majors sniffing around for a while now lets hope this record is the push they need.

fair fooks

T.B.L.

cheers yeh saw the review, seeing somebody take time to read the lyrics and analyse something properly was really quite refreshing , pity all reviewers dont do so. The e.p. is on sale at the moment in road and tower records for 3.99, shameless plug but its gotta be done Apoligies dotsie bout the support slot but i'll be there to see you's, like the sound of the stuff, half my band will be away thats why we had to pull out but looking forward to it, i know the messiah operation myself, tom.
