    You heard it right, scumbags. We're kicked the west up the arse with a big metal boot!
    The confirmed line-up for Friday, Saturday and Sunday [July 29th, 30th, 31st] night is:

    Friday 29th July

    Eyes Closed
    Steel Tormentor
    Ground of Ruin

    Saturday 30th

    The Nexus
    Dawn
    Erin Maiden

    Sunday 31st

    Speedking
    Metallitia

    There will also be an early evening gig on the Saturday and the Sunday between 2-6pm. There will be a battle of the bands competition with another band playing a gig afterwards.

    Both bands for both these gigs are more or less sorted and will post confirmation during the week.

    This is gonna be a savage weekend. Metal, booze and craic. Not for the faint hearted. This will be three nights and days of pure metal madness.

    The venue and cost will be posted up within the
    coming days.

    That's great Pinhead, are you looking for more bands or have you your quota? Irish metal band Roper supported Mudvayne and American Head Charge last week at the Temple Bar Music Centre Dublin, they're seriously talented! See www.roper-music.com for info on the band and free mp3's you can download. They're amazing live!!!

    We're currently looking for a couple of young bands to play the BOTB. If Roper are between the age of 15-19, give me a shout.

    The main line-up is as stated above. No additions are planned.

    Are you guys planning the fest this year?

    " Chamber Games- led by Willow, who performed at last year's
    event this all new rock band from Dublin, Ireland will blow you away!!!!"
    - Stephen Campbell (Virgin Atlantic)


    Chamber Games, a four piece Alt. Rock/Metal band based in Dublin City have just returned from performing
    The Virgin Atlantic Music Festival 08 in Barbados. Already confirmed to play the 2009 festival amongst other
    international festivals its going to be a big summer for Chamber Games. Unlike anything in the country right now
    Chamber Games regularly headline key venues in Dublin city, like The Village and Whelans etc. They band defines
    themselves as 'metal for the masses' as they have become masters at perfecting their own genre of áradio timed
    metal material with theáappeal and hooks áof a pop song.áCurrrently recording there debut album 'Exist For Me' at
    Asylum Studios in the city centre previews of the albumácan be found on www.myspace.com/chambergames and
    www.bebo.com/chambergames. An official website isácurrently under construction. The bands material is regularly
    played on femme metal radio stations in the Uk as welláas other mainstream stations in the US. With greater international
    recognition than in their home country, the band is looking for Irish recognition of there future success.
