Ok, this is the bit where we tell you all about - The Gudmen. The Gudmenconsists of 2 MC's (that's rappers to you and me) Ay Cee and P The Emcee and one producer/ DJ - Lee. Ay Cee and P are both regarded as two of Ireland's finest rappers. While you may recognise DJ Lee's face from appearing on the RTE show 2 Phat with Ray D'Arcy and Zig & Zag. You may have caught him with Podge & Rodge too on A Scare At Bedtime.
They have appeared on numerous radio stations including, Today FM – Ray D'Arcy Show, 2FM – The Big Smoke, Spin FM – Soul Base and FM 104 – Open Mike.
Ok, right around now you're probably thinking - “Ok, they're talented and they've been on the radio but have they played live?” The answer to that, my soon to be new friend, is YES. I'll now tell you where they've played and with who:
The Olympia, Dublin (with Coolio – remember him?)
The Pod, Dublin (with Def Jux recording artists Cannibal Ox)
The Village, Dublin (with Bay Area superstars Blackalicious)
Rí Rá, Dublin (with Def Jux and MTV star C Ray Walz & Aesop Rock)
Crawdaddy, Dublin (with hip hop legend GURU from Gangstarr)
Cuba, Galway (again with GURU)
The Oxegen Festival 2006 Punchestown Racecourse
Sky Venue, Portlaoise (with Republic of Loose)
They've also played loads of other places you've never heard of.
On top of all their various other accomplishments The Gudmenalso have a few Music Videos under their belt. The video for their song “Why?!” was used to “reach the kids” by The Samaritans & the Mental Health Board Executive. Not only that but it was selected for the Sligo, Clones, Navan and Kerry film festivals! Alright, it's not Cannes but it's a good start.
So you see, they're not just pretty faces. Speaking of pretty faces…
Hey The Gudmen, just wanna let you know our NEW E.P. 'The Making' is out November 30th, samples of the Tracks are on our myspace or check out www.thebeatpoets.com
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 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!"
Michael Brunnock will be performing with his Irish Band "Little Palace" November 5th 8pm Whelans, Dublin November 7th 9pm Headfort Arms, Kells, Co. Meath November 12th 8pm The Backroom, Navan, Co. Meath Little Palace will be releasing their New Single "Beekeeper" from their latest album Invitation Time. We all hope to see you there. Keep Music Alive go hear a show.
I suddenly felt like sending warmest wishes and cordial greetings to some of my Myspace friends.
The fact that my new album ‘Tickety-Boo’ is being released to record shops and on iTunes on Friday, September 25 with a show in The Village, Wexford St featuring a full 8 piece band + guests Arrow in the Sky and The Last Tycoons, is purely coincidental.
Here's the freshest picture in the whole wide world for you

I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!
