   About Eamonn Dowd and The Racketeers







Since the mid 90’s I’ve fronted The Racketeers as we brought our brand of americana / rock n roll to the interested and the tone-deaf alike, releasing five albums along the way.

Our adventures took us from the lowlands of Holland to the Arctic Circle, through the Baltics and beyond. Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Spain. If the money was right and there was a place to kip, we would turn up and put on a show of sorts. In recent years I’ve also toured in a solo / acoustic capacity, throughout Europe the USA and Canada.

The 2006 album Silver & Dust was produced by Paul Thomas, best known for his work with The Dubliners, Nikki Sudden, Thin Lizzy and early U2. The new album, Mansions of Gold was produced by Les Keye and like its predecessor is released on German label Cannery Row Records. Hot Press magazine said “there’s something raw and real about The Racketeers that’s easy to love."......And that sounds fine by me. - E

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards

Ireland’s best kept musical secret is a reclusive audio-visual bootlegger/mash-up artist, Phil RetroSpector. Widely regarded as the undisputed master of melancholy of this otherwise dance-driven underground scene, his haunting remixes of Bukowski, Johnny Cash & Muse have gained him both critical notoriety (featuring twice in the past twelve months in The Toronto Star’s Anti-Hit list) and some celebrity fans, including Moby (who spun one of his tracks at David Lynch’s wedding).

INTROVERSION is his debut album sampler and available for free download.


Warning: Please make sure glass is half empty before listening,
