Children Under Hoof are five people from various regions of Ireland, brought together in college by a mutual love of Risk, Father Ted and 7"s played at 33 RPM. Members include Limerick's Miss Junior Teen '99, the co-founder of the original Ted Fest, 1/2 of experimental band Ixchel, 1/1 of Patrick Kelleher, and IADT's Best Tash 2006. Their music, vl tone busting/sax swarming/vss sampling/floor tom pounding noise creates a sound that could be described as trying to channel the souls of Robert Rendal, Michael Karoli and Porter Wagoner but failing in a wigi board inferno. Children Under Hoof were included on Peek Sounds of the Irish Underground record released by Analogue Magazine. They are busy working on a self release cassette EP "A Collar Can Become A Noose" EP (Out Late November), a split 12" with Hunter/Gatherer and a full length album both out early next year.

New free Herv digital album out now on Cock Rock Disco!
Hi there,
Just a quick note to let you know that I have a new free digital release out now on Cock Rock Disco if you would like to take a listen.
Heres what label owner Jason Forrest / Dj Donna Summer had to say!
Herv: "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..."
"Ireland's sexiest laptopper lands his latest mini-album on Cock Rock Disco! "Not figuratively, but literally in love with Music..." is a rave inspired experimental break-acid-core thrill ride of endless ideas and possibilities. Herv packs a lot into the 8 tracks; melodies evolve and twist, beats fracture and congeal and synths collide! It's exciting! But that's not all, it comes with 2 cd designs and a freakin A0 sized poster! Whoa! Can't beat the value in that!"
hi hope you can all come to this it gonna be spectac-ular download 3D GLASSES and come dance, paint, drink and wind-up some gears!
SUNDAY 1ST NOV @ The Back Loft. its BYOB and 6 euro entrance fee. we are a non-profit organisation all money goes towards making our shows interactive.
Hey-o I meant so much to send you a thanks-laden message before now because I had such a good good time and it's got me so very excited about doing more gigs. AND YOU ARE ALL SO FECKING LOVELY.
