This year saw a slow down in General Rock, there was no summer concert, no organised gigs or promotions at all. Thats not to say general rock has being thrown out the water, its saying that everyone in g-rock cave is flat out with lots of personal projects going. The two boys, adam and steve have opened their comic and gaming store in highstreet called “the shadow gallery”. I was running a graphic design and print house with Tame guitarist and g-rock resident MC Norm Power which has also taken a little back seat due to the rumor called…. the recession!!! dun dun dunnnnnnnn!!! And… Evan, well… he’s still in school! Poor guy! So all in all, there has being very little energy left to throw this years concert and deal with cock fire chiefs and venue owners afraid to try something worth while and we all apologise.

However, i have begun some work with a new promotions company setup by local prog rock legend James Doran, or Jimi Trigger, or countless other names he can go by, it really depends on the day of the week. The company is called Trig Promotions and you can find them here on myspace and bebo to learn more about the fresh new outfit and what is has to offer. Word has it, its run by mother fuckin gangsters.

Shown above is a group shot of Chemical Addiction, Trig and Boo and Hero in Error taken in cleeres after what can only be described as an indescribable gig (go figure!).

Ok, these two guys showed the entire of Cleeres lastnight, that music and performance dosent have to be heavy, loud or have people with long hair, or any hair for that matter (sorry boo!). A fuckin awesome gig and i really really can’t wait to see them again. I highly recommend checking out Trig and Boo as soon as you can… otherwise they’l fuck your mother…..or your sister!

So tonight i learned about such things like putting fingers up your arse, John rambo is the shinizzle, and not all kilkenny music is made up of metal and grunge. Trig and boo, certainly a breath of fresh air and indeed well needed injection of serious off the wall entertainment. It was hard to tell what type of reaction the crowed would give. Everyone has being saying “this is guna be funny”. The suprising thing, it was fucking brilliant!!! Everything from the entrance to abusing members of the audience(including myself!)…. you would have to invent words to describe it better.

Its being a while (as in, eh, never!) since iv seen a crowed of metalers waving their hands in the air and “bouncing” to rap music. I really can’t wait until the next gig. Trig and Boo, lots of respect guys!
