This week I have quite lot of stuff to go through so let's get started.
Last Thursday’s Live and Unsigned night went better than we could have hoped for. JPKALLIO.COM was the winner on the night, and as a price we got a day of very valuable studio time :-) This will be the beginning of our first Album for sure; we'll get also a professional photo shoot as part of the price. We'll share all this with you guys as we get to it, but for now here is a video from the night :-) As always, let us know what you think.
On the night there was some great music, and I had already checked out t one bands online before the gig. I am sure you know by now that I am a punk rock fan. On the night there was a band from Monaghan called the Sketch! These young guys rocked the house! And I said this before; it is such a great to see talented bands that have their feet firmly on the ground. No egos, just nice guys and rocking music. Last week I talked bit about putting on a show, these guys are such a great example of that. You can just see that they are having fun on the stage. You will get a chance to see them in action soon, just keep reading and all will be revealed.
We were featured also during the week in a great punk rock blog called the Punk Rock '77 Thru Today. It is a very serious list of punk band interviews. Check it out and while you're there, check out our interview :-) If you think your band could fit the blog, just get in contact.
Now I will move to a very important announcement. This little blog of ours will be one years old in five weeks time, and as you know the birth of our band JPKALLIO.COM started from this. So we decided to throw a bit of a party. We made some great friends over the past year, got to play some great gigs, share stages with some brilliant bands, so we thought it would be cool to get some of these guys to join us, and organize a night with some kick ass music. To our big surprise everyone we asked were on for it :-) So this is going to be one big party!
On the 2nd of September in the basement of Fibber Magees, on Parnell Street here in Dublin, we will have a Punk Rock Mayhem night! Doors 8pm Live music from 9pm to at least 12.30 am and then we have Punk Rock D.J. blasting some great records until 2am. The line up on the night will be JPKALLIO.COM, 24 Broken Amps, 9thlife, Sketch! and the Casement Ghosts. This is going to be one kick ass Friday evening and to see this line-up just for a €5 is a bargain ;-) We will be working on some drink promotions as well, but more on that later.
For the next few weeks, JPKALLIO.COM is taking a bit of a rest, Sebastian is going on a well earned holidays to Poland, Qra is trying to house train his new puppy Ozzy :-) And I am going on a few weeks tour with Sliotar. But we'll be updating all our social media sites almost daily and have few more videos on the way. And our blog will be back for more every Wednesday morning as it has been for nearly a year :-) So spread the word about our birthday bash to everyone and I'll talk to you more next week.
J.P.
