    Why is everyone changing their godamn names!! It's so confusing. Alphastates, Juno Falls, Ellison 9, Kings of Conscience....were once Babelfish, Blotooth, Derrick Devine and 66 electric. Goodness me.

    we should change our name, what with every other band in the world called polar, but we're hardcore (ie. stooopid)

    still this looks like a sweeeet gig

    well, amongst other reasons we changed ours cos our sound has changed a bit (all electric, less folky more rawk) and as well as that it felt weird getting up on stage n saying 'hello we're derrick devine' when we've got such a fat band (there's eight of us)!

    as for 66 e, they are always copying us - i think that's why they changed theirs.

    Here's the plan: Run out of Whelan's the second Fairuza are off stage, get in a taxi and break the speed of light in driving to the Music Centre.


    If I keep telling myself it'll work...........



    Yea, those crazy 66e lads really got ya there with that name changing copying lark didn't they Derrick?! Mad lot.

    See ya there,
    that's presuming my plan'll work.....

    Well the name change thing was really just something that had to be done..

    people just couldn't get our old name right no-matter how many times we'd tell them we weren't the electric 6 or the electric 66.

    We thought of just shortening it to 66e but then we thought that sounded like a free dance party with lots of free drugs so here we are...

    No matter what the names are, looks like a really great gig. Wallmark and the artists formaly known as the 66e have been very good every time i've seen them.

    Basically we have the venue until 2.30am on the night so if you want to see a great gig and check out some decent indie/alternative sounds and visuals afterwards come on down.

    If you're sick of the same Whelan's tunes played in the same Whelan's order you're in for a treat.

    Also iris will be running a comp for five pairs of tickets in the next couple of days so look for that.

    THE LAST SOUND
    SPECTAC


    Ellison 9

    Formerly singer-songwriter Derrick Devine and his band, Ellison 9 are an eight piece rock band based in Dublin.

    Fronted by Devine on lead vocals with Sorcha Brennan on backing vocals, their sound has been compared to the likes of Sparklehorse, Calexico, Deus and Elliott Smith. Dark, intelligent lyrics are backed up by drums, bass, keyboards, off-kilter guitar lines, distorted violin and the occasional perfectly weighted blast from an orchestral trumpet.

    The band are presently in the midst of recording their debut E.P. ‘New Skin’ which is set for release at the beginning of 2004.

    'One to watch...' Hot Press

    'In a country awash with singer-songwriters, Derrick Devine is right up there with the best of them...’ www.eclectichoney.com

    66e

    Dublin 4-piece, 66e (formerly 66 electric) released their debut E.P. ‘I died in a movie’ in late 2002. Phantom FM listeners voted one of the songs from this E.P. - ‘Brown Bear’- one of their top 20 songs of that year. Their debut album ‘Fall down 7 times, Stand up 8’ is due out in March 2004 while new single ‘Scrambled Pictures’ is set for release before the end of 2003.

    ‘…as current and as relevant as it gets…’ Hot Press

    Wallmark

    Wallmark are a four piece rock band formed in the rainy back waters of Birr Co. Offaly in 1999, Along with supporting the likes of The Frames, Damien Rice, Shane McGowan, Turn and many other acts, Wallmark have been gathering large crowds at their own headline gigs around Dublin.

    The lads released their debut studio release earlier this year and are currently working on new material for their first Album.

    Spectac

    ''Spectac's debut album 'Rabbid' (Front End Synthetics ) is an outlandish and frightening release by one of Ireland's leading electronica artists. It is the result of a year's personal quarantine at a secret castle/fortress location. Letting the illness run its course, and documenting it musically was a project that Spectac really wanted to sink his teeth into. Rabbid is a flowing twelve-destination holiday that asserts this enigmatic producers ability to show you more of the scenery than any of his contemporaries.


    ''An album with its finger on your ass, but still polite enough to offer you tea."
