Go Wolf
Thanks to everyone who came down to the first ever Bandwidth Night on 23rd March, organised with Go Wolf in The Galley Café on Lanyon Quay in Belfast – it was a truly special event and a really magic night.
As promised and much delayed, here is a video highlight from the night – the band’s latest single ‘Voices’. The sound recording failed on us halfway through sadly, but the atmosphere was so good and the pictures so pretty we thought it would be a shame not to put it out – find 3 more tracks on the Bandwidth youtube page.
Filmed by Jenny Atcheson, Michael MacBroom & Will McConnell for Bandwidth
The second Bandwidth Night took place a few weeks ago as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival with Katie & The Carnival – check back here for videos from that very very special event very soon – and stay tuned for news of Bandwidth Night#3!
Tumblin’ Blues
Bob Log III and some killer boobs
I was in the off license.
‘Excuse me I’m looking for the stuff the bums drink,’ I said to the woman at the till. She regarded me with disdain. ‘You know, the big blue bottles?’
‘Down the back,’ she said, and led the way to the walk-in fridge. She appeared to be lame and by the time we got there I was getting impatient.
‘Which one would you recommend?’ I asked.
‘Well the Frosty Jack comes in three litre bottles…’
‘Of course, value for money,’ I agreed. ‘And Jack is a good name for booze. I’ll take three.’ I watched as she hoisted the three gigantic bottles into the crook of her arm and followed her back to the till. On the way, something caught my eye.
‘Sorry,’ I said, ‘is that Coteaux du Languedoc really only £10?’
‘Yeah,’ she said.
‘That really seems too reasonable to pass up,’ I said.
I only had a tenner on me.
‘I’ll take it,’ I said. ‘You can put those back.’ She grunted and shuffled back to the fridge.
Two hours later the wine – which was good, but by no means revelatory – was gone and I had a slight buzz. I had given up my pipe dream of being a writer and decided to be an alcoholic, but I had failed at that too. I was pathetic. I sulked back round to the offies.
‘I think I’ll take that shitty cider after all, I said.
The woman just glared at me and took her goddamn time limping off to the fridge. While I was waiting, my phone rang.
Imprint: Documenta
We’re very pleased to announce our first collaboration with the very wonderful Imprint podcast. Imprint is collective of music lovers, mixtape compilers and videographers, headed by the marvellous Matt Hazley. It was thanks to their podcast that I was first introduced to Belfast’s remarkable Documenta, a psychedelic dreampop shoe gaze type of band cut from the finest cloth.
Here are 3 tracks filmed from Imprint’s night at the Menagerie in Belfast in April 2012.
Here more from the set in Imprint’s 30th edition of its podcast right here.
We also heartily recommend you

So Long, Marianne
This week marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. With my 25th birthday fast approaching, you might think I’m talking about some fruity goddamn quarter life crisis, but I’m not. This is fucking serious. Here is how it went down.
After unsuccessfully trying my hand at actual journalism with my last piece, Will demanded I make a return to the regular TINAR format. The real problem was that I had him tweet @rickygervais on my behalf, in the hope that Ricky would like the article enough to retweet the link, and I might get some more readers. Well, he didn’t. He did tweet links to every other fucking blog post he found about Derek, but obviously mine wasn’t up to scratch. I, much more used to personal rejection, just got drunk and muttered ‘fuck Ricky Gervais then’ a few hundred times and forgot all about it. Will is much more accustomed to glowing feedback though, and took the lack of retweeting as a personal affront. He told me I was getting too big for my boots and I need to stick to what I’m good at. So he hooked me up. A movie date with a ‘real classy lady’.
IN STORES NOW#63: Bruce Joseph
What we’re about here at IN STORES NOW is bringing you new and undiscovered music. This week, we present a very special session with the magical Bruce Joseph.
Bruce first came to our attention with his rather impressive homemade session videos, and it wasn’t long before we got working together. And we’re glad we did. His latest album “Look Out” is a knockout – here he plays two tracks from it, filmed in the stunning Wallace House in Lisburn.
