Hello folks, here’s the next
exciting unmissable instalment from the world of Poo Promotions, and by Christ
and the hounds of hades we’ve got a special lot of freak outs, live music gigs
and happenings coming right your way (if you live in the region of Sligo).
Saturday 18th February
we have a night of strangeness in stall, by ways of LIZ IS EVIL & NOISY
COINCIDENCE, as well as some new local talent in the form of two bands from
north Leitrim ways – THE DEAD STARS & LAST ONE BACK.
Formed in 2008,
LIZ IS EVIL
have played live all over Ireland & UK. Their debut EP ‘Beached’ received
enthusiastic reviews & got them a 2FM radio session. Their debut LP ‘Failed
Philosophy’ was hailed by radio & press alike & got nominated for a Choice Music
award & was included in the Top 50 albums of the year by 2FMs top alternative DJ
Dan Hegarty, who said ‘they have a brilliant knack for hooks & songwriting’.
2011 saw the band release the ‘Anno Domino’ download single & video, several
festival appearances & continuing to bring their frantic live show wherever
possible.
‘If this is what evil sounds like, I don’t ever want to be good’ – Hot press LP
review.
‘’50’s rock n roll, punk & pure pop tunes; great music’ –
connected.ie
‘Their live gigs are a blast’ – Hot Press
‘Frenetic, punk – ridden moreish rockabilly, potentially beautiful & dangerous’
– state.ie

On another matter, hydraulic fracturing (FRACKING) is coming to Ireland - this
is a process by which a mixture of sand, water and chemicals are injected into
the ground for some distance to cause fractures which then release shale gas-
the whole thing is going to be an environmental catastrophe for Ireland if it is
allowed to happen. Please see below a brief explanation about Fracking and
contact emails/website addresses. Try and view the films 'gaslands' or 'fracking
hell'
Ok that's it, hope to see you at the gigs - support the independent underground live music scene in Sligo & Leitrim.
