    Everybody,

    Here's the scoop on the next Road Relish single. Its got Waiting Room and giveamanakick and we're doing a short tour this week to launch it. Please note that the Dublin Whelans gig is in the AFTERNOON of Sat 27th. This is becuase the mighty Shellac are playing in Vicar Street that night and we all wanted to go to that ....

    Road Relish release the fourteenth in our fab series of 7” singles at the end of November 2004. This record marks a new phase in the Road Relish project for two reasons. Firstly, we are casting aside our insular Dublin-centric ways by including bands from outside the capital, namely the wonderful Waiting Room from Cork and Limerick rockers, giveamanakick. Secondly, we are taking the Road Relish launch gig experience on the road with four dates in quick succession around the country.

    We’ve been big fans of Waiting Room since we heard their excellent Catering For Headphones album which was released on Out On a Limb records earlier this year. Since then they have been wooing all and sundry with their mix of infectious pop and rock dynamics. Undaunted by the small matter of some bastards nicking all their gear, the boys recently set off for a string of dates in the US. We’re looking forward to seeing them at the end of November.

    Limericktwo-piece giveamanakick are about the most incendiary rockin’ live band in Ireland at the moment and we’re pleased as punch to have their riff-tastic noisy rock’n’roll on a Road Relish record at last. Their contribution is the track Let God Touch Your Children which is a long-time live favourite. The ‘kick will be dishing out lessons in rock at all four dates and we’re all going to be taking notes.

    Waiting Room and GAMAK were on flying form on Saturday! Quality songs. What was the first GAMAK song? Had a great intro. Great way to start into things. And where the hell did all those people come from at 3 on a Saturday afternoon???

    Glad you enjoyed the gig Tombo. There was a great turnout all right for it so we were really pleased. I'd say a lot of the folks there were going to see Shellac later on in Vicar Street and decided to make a day of it ...

    Can't help you with the GAMAK song they did first .... I thought Waiting Room were spectacularly good on Saturday, in spite of hangovers from the night before in Cork and getting to Dublin too late to soundcheck properly. Their next album is gonna be a classic I tell ya ....
