Rocket Girl is VERY excited to be working with Whipping Boy again after releasing their first two 12" singles back in the early nineties! (Cheree Records)

'No One Take Prisoners Anymore' / 'Earth's Last Picture' is the first new material from Whipping Boy in almost 12 years. The two tracks will be available digitally on 12th March.

One of the great iconic Irish acts of the last 25 years, Whipping Boy returned in 2011 to an Irish live scene that they once owned and put in some immense performances around the country's festivals and venues.

The band promote the new release with two shows:

Sunday February 26th - RDS, Hot Press Music Expo, Dublin
Friday, March 16th - The Barfly, London

• Following the release of the ‘Anatomy’ album, Drugstore return with a new single, ‘Aquamarine’

• To find the perfect pistolero for the duet on ‘Aquamarine’, Isabel Monteiro, Drugstore’s head-honcho, turned into an A&R scout:..‘Everyone had this idea about who I should duet with, from famous dinosaurs to even dead people! When Rolf Harris was mentioned, that was it, I had to take control of the situation, so I spent 48 hours on MySpace looking for something special, heard over 500 bands, famous and obscure, then I came across this beautiful voice, from this totally unknown guy called Chris Belson. He’s only 24, but he sounds like a man who’s been living inside a velvet-coated bottle of gin forever. Perfecto!’

This new luxuriously and lovingly packaged double CD with DVD is a labour of love in memory of Jason DiEmilio (1970-2006) aka the Azusa Plane. Two CDs feature over two hours of music spanning the breadth of the Azusa Plane catalogue. The DVD features a thirty-minute live set and 65 MP3s split between 11 folders; which include rare tracks, never released Azusa Plane live recordings, an interview with Jason and a previously unreleased recording. An expansive booklet is included with the release which contains essays, thoughts, reflections and memories of DiEmilio's life and musical output.

The in-store due to take place Thursday 11th August has been postponed due to security reasons. We will keep you posted when we can reschedule.
Be safe.

 

Drugstore will play an instore at the lovely Rough Trade East on 11th August. On stage at 7pm.
You can get a free wrist band if you buy the album from RT or else get there in plenty of time on the day.
