All right friends, the schedule is out , and we're less than a month away, so the countdown to HPX 2008 is officially on. That being the case, it seems only right that we start previewing some of the artists that will be making the trip to our coastal paradise for the big event (have we mentioned this event ? With a beloved Canadian group making their Halifax return? Hosted by your favorite blog? Yeah, you should put a star beside that one). Let's begin with a group that's making one of the longer journeys: Fred [...]
Remember the other day I was lamenting not having a band that was moving me? Well, my musical prayers have been answered, because I've found Fred . They're a five-piece band from Cork City, Ireland and they make really infectious, extremely accessible, ever-so-slightly-retro indie pop. It's thick with horns and strings and layered vocals and I am now obsessed with them. You know it's funny, but at first I thought, Hey, I rather like this stuff but I'm not [...]
The Hard Working Class Heroes Festival is taking place this weekend all around Temple Bar with a huge variety of bands playing in various venues. There's some real talent on the Irish scene at the moment and this festival will showcase some of them along with an 'invasion' of Scottish bands which will add further to the festival. Entertainment.ie are running a download chart of songs by the artists featured so that's well worth a look to find a few more bands and also more info on the artists I've featured below. Here are some of my [...]

A Swan Fungus reader from all the way in Japan sent me a donation last week. It was for $12.46, which calculates to roughly ¥1276.25. After PayPal took it's cut of the donation (which I find to be deplorable -- it's a fucking donation ), I was left with $11.56. That's when I hatched a scheme -- which is stolen from a certain online comic strip that Ilya loves and I hate -- to dedicate entire blog posts to how exactly I spend every cent that is donated to the website. So, with my $11.56 safely transferred into my [...]
Go, Rock-a-Billy Batson, go! The raw vocal power of Zeus and hip-shaking speed of Mercury drive the ladies wild with adoration and the menfolk crazy with envy. It's just one more reason that Captain Marvel will always be superior to that strictly squaresville Superman, no matter what some killjoy Kryptonian sympathizers might say. I'm still coming off my Big Red Cheese buzz from last night's journal post . Instead of fighting this feeling, I'm going to see it through to the bitter end, no matter how many visions of godlike rabbit beings or [...]
Free and legal MP3 from Fred (jaunty, endearing Irish band)
"Running" - Fred This song is not about running for political office, but it should be; I think we'd be in great shape if candidates went about their business with this exact sort of wacky, good-natured, earnest, interconnected joie de vivre. (Listen to that goofy-wonderful violin in the intro for an immediate sense of what this is going to be about. The violin plays with the trumpet and sounds like it's trying to be a trumpet; the sound they manage to make together has a lot to do with the song's [...]

Fred - Evergreen
In many ways this is the least obvious track to go blathering about from Fred's incandescent 'Go God Go' album. It being a multi-faceted beast with a couple of fairly obviously nods to the Scissor Sisters and the Arcade Fire amongst other behemoths but perhaps it's when they concentrate on just being Fred like on 'Evergreen' that my gra really starts to bloom. The Cork (maybe some Kerry in there

Color Fred, June, 2008
Some may know Fred Mascherino as the former singer/guitarist of Taking Back Sunday; others know him for the power-pop splendor of his new project, the Color Fred. However, those really in the know wear his signature under the soles of their feet. Fred's Macbeth signature Studio Project, the Fred Mascherino F.P. Mascho, was designed to suit Fred's daily needs and core values: a completely vegan shoe (i.e., no leather or other animal products used in its construction/testing) with Velcro straps and extra padding in all the places a person needs. Fred recently dispensed a bit of beardly wisdom about [...]

You’d wonder why nobody had ever thought of it before. It seems as obvious as the nose on your face to call a band Fred but until this Cork band chose to do so the moniker lie as dormant as a Big Brother’s contestants thought processes.
