PS - SAD GOODBYE TO ROAD RECRDS, FADE ST, DUBLIN 2.
THEY WERE THE BEST RECORD SHOP IN DUBLIN AND ARE HAVING TO CLOSE DOWN DUE TO THE LACK OF BUSINESS.
JULIE AND DAVE WERE ALWAYS HAPPY TO PUT UP MAGICAL GIRL POSTERS, HAD TIME TO CHAT, HAD JENNY HOUSTON'S 'ISLE OF' JUST WAITING THERE TO PURCHASE. (DO YOU THINK HMV WOULD HAVE STOCKED THAT?) ROAD RECORDS HAVE BEEN THE SUPPORTIVE HOME OF NEARLY EVERY DUBLIN BAND. CHECK OUT ANY IRISH BANDS MYSPACE PAGE AND THEY WILL SAY YOU CAN GET THEIR DEBUT SINGLE/ALBUM IN ROAD RECORDS. NOT ANY MORE.
If you still buy cd's/vinyl try your best to think about what kind of business you're giving your money to.
Magical Girl WAS a project in Dublin organising gigs and projects to create a space which attracted everything alternative, feminist, queer, diy and irregular
Magical Girl Gigs were open to anyone and everyone.

About Magical Girl
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Magical Girl is a small, diy, feminist project based in Dublin
Magical Girl is run by a number of women whose talents are only mighty - making the diy approach even more rewarding.
Each project/gig/event/workshop is done for the love of promoting and supporting Female Creativity rather than the love of money. What little money is made from gigs goes firstly towards paying artists/ bands and secondly towards the funding of future free/low cost Magical Girl projects/workshops.
Zines are for sale at Magical Girl gigs as a reminder that there are people independently writing and creating their own non-commercial publications.
The name Magical Girl is taken from lyrics in the Erase Errata song 'He Wants What's Mine'.
Magical Girl has Extra Special Love for all girls, boys, queers, interesting peeps, activists, fun, creativity, messin around, being made to smile, being made to laugh, nature, life, diy, feminism, riot grrrl, goodness, kindness, peace and love and harmony wha.
We have been involved in organising diy, feminist, independednt gigs since 2004 with Ladyfest Dublin, Hivemind Promotions and the yearly aLAF Festival. The 1st Magical Girl gig was Dec 8 2006.
NEW FREE HERV DIGITAL RELEASE OUT NOW ON COCK ROCK DISCO!
Heres what label owner Jason Forrest 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!"
Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
You have surely heard about the tragic death of Neda - a brave young woman who was murdered in Iran just for peacefully protesting with her father on the streets of Teheran.
Hey, sorry for the plug! Our debut album "Nightcycles" is out now, click on the album artwork below to order from Cableattack!!
