HWCH and Onwards!

First of all, thanks to all at HWCH for organising a great weekend of music. We enjoyed our show and appreciated all the lovely feedback. From a punter-point-of-view my highlights were Ham Sandwich's cover of Running Up That Hill when Niamh's voice sliced through the bass heavy PA in Twisted Pepper with real proper heartbreaking power, and Super Extra Bonus Party in Andrew's Lane. Man, those guys have some serious energy! Very impressive.

Didn't catch his gig but met Rory Grubb in Andrew's Lane last night and am already a fan after listening to the songs on his myspace today. A reductionist review might say Nick Drake meets Panda Bear and the Animal Collective gang, but his music is full of personality so even though that would be a mouth-watering enough prospect it wouldn't be doing him justice. Go there and listen, you won't be disappointed:

Ok, so I'm struggling away trying to get my head around the world of E-Commerce... more difficult and time consuming than I first thought. If it's not a music or graphics programme I really am a computer Noob. The new site should be up soon enough and hopefully we'll be selling our music through there, but in the meantime I thought I'd sell our EP through E-Bay. Should anyone want a copy they can go here:

If you don't have an ebay account you can email us at info@thedyingseconds.com and we can sort out an internet banking transfer or summink, whatever suits you... We're here to please if possible.

Been a great few months; Picnic, followed by Arthur's Day and then HWCH. Up next for us is Phantom's Next Big Thing in early November and a whole lot of writing and recording. Might release an EP soon, maybe an album, might just throw some free tracks out on the website, we're an indecisive bunch at the best of times so we'll see what happens... Anyway, Everything always works out for everyone in the dying seconds... so we'll be alright.

Some Grand Romantic Gesture

Our new Ep is now recorded, mixed, mastered and on its way to the printers. You can preview tracks from the Ep on our myspace, Facebook or on Last.fm:

Hello all,

Just to let you know, from now on all our remixes and megamixes will be uploaded to the DySec Industries myspace page:

www.myspace.com/dysecindustries

So if you'd like to listen to them, that's where to look.

In other news: 3 new members have recently joined the Dying Seconds, and with them on board we are due to record a new e.p. of material next month.

The long delay in following up our debut album has many causes, most prominent of which are self doubt and broken computers, but new material is definitely on the way. The tracks are finalised and demoed to the nth degree and will be recorded proper in Wexford on friday the 13th, Valentines day, and Sunday the 15th of February. An odd combination of fear and love is to be expected, which actually sums up the e.p. pretty well.

Thanks to all for listening during our first year,

David
