OH HI: SOUNDCHECK IS 2

YOU’RE TEARING ME APART!

SoundCheck’s 2nd birthday is this Thursday (May 6th) and as a special treat for all you SoundCheckers, we’ve flown Greg Sestero (aka Mark from The Room) in for a special screening of The Room and a Q&A about one of the most talked about movies around.

Obviously, it’s going to be amazing.

Along with this, we’ve got a rake of your favourite SoundCheck DJs along to let you boogie til the lights come on.

7pm – late. Rock and roll.

VolcanoCheck

Come bathe in the beer garden this Thursday and drink ash-free cocktails and wine (unless you’re smoking, then technically, there will be ash in them.) Bliss out to the awesome tunes we will be playing down there. They are positively volcanic. Ok, enough volcano stuff, no, wait…

Anyway, SoundCheck has just about recovered from playing an EPIC three hour set at the Warzone (oh hai WAR!) at the Trinity Ball. Thanks to everyone who came down and rocked out with us, and for the organisers for having us (sorry for drinking all of your beer) we had a BLAST.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, check out Una’s top five Irish acts right now over on Nialler9’s bloggy.

South William St VVIP Awards

 

Ok, so we’ve been a little bit shite at posting recently, but we’ve had some GIANT SoundChecks including the epicness that was Paddy Monster.

But that was the past, my friends, now to the future. The inaugural South William St VVIP Awards are taking place at SoundCheck this Thursday. In order to clear up confusion, interest, and strange sexy messages we’ve been getting about this event, here are some SWSVVIPs FAQs.

Is this a joke?
While we’re well aware that this Thursday is April Fool’s Day, soz babes, the VVIPs are for real. This is a real ceremony with real people, real booze, real awards, and real, you know, realness. Reality, basically.

Will there be midgets?
Ask Brian Spollen.

Should I be offended if I’ve been nominated?
Not if you have any grasp of irony.

Should I be offended if I haven’t been nominated?
Yes

What can I expect on the night?
A good laugh and hopefully some naked mud/jelly wrestling. Also, many surprises, some possibly unpleasant.

OMG I’m in, what’s the damage?
It’s free, dumbass.

If I like it, should I put a ring on it?
Uh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh.

Most importantly, what’s the dress code?
Late 80s-recession-depression era-sequins-part-Ghandi-part-Harlem Globetrotter-post-McQueen-militant vegan-Gucci power lesbian-informally formal-animal costumed-post-tuxedo-frustrated banking executive-circus ringmaster-relevent irelevent post-ironic-hot farmer-cracker knacker-1940s Disney-astronaut.

The South William St VVIPs, Thursday, April 1st, SPY, 7pm, please arrive early for maximum awesomeness.
