The band we knew as the Muggabears quietly announced last week that they have changed their name to Grooms. They can now be found online at myspace.com/groomstheband . We're not sure what prompted the switch, but it's a nice name, so more power to them.
Groom are a band who only jumped onto my radar when I got an email informing me of their new album; 'At The Natural History Museum'. However as I checked out the five piece I realised they are probably the most blogged about band in Ireland at the moment. Check out reviews/posts here , here , here , here oh and here ! So here I am on the bandwagon and I feel fine because Groom are cool. Groom are low-fi indie loving, acoustic crooning, electronic melodic architects. Well I did [...]
>> Hey people with remix skills, download the stems for the new Yppah remix contest... here . >> Thee Oh Sees get the Pukekos treatment... here . >> Grooms (the verb, not the noun I think based on the background image on thee olde myspacee) is the new name for Muggabears . I guess I understand, though their situation was nowhere near as dire as say The Muslims/Soft Pack , right? So, Grooms has a show coming up on the 19th of April @ Death [...]

What better band to review on the day of the Aintree Grand National, which is held down the road from the Devil's abode, than an Irish band called Groom. Groom Genre: Happy Hardcore / Pop / Children From: Dublin, Ireland Groom have been around a few years having arisen phoenix like from the ashes of alt-folk band Settler in 2004. The band started [...]
I am having a hard time coming up with an opening sentence about Groom, a truly wonderful band from Dublin, Ireland. I have typed and deleted these words about thirty times now. I probably never would have heard of them had they not sent us an email with clips from their latest EP release At the Natural History Museum ( due out April 24th on Tight Ship Records ) . That would have been a shame because they are fantastic. Natural History contains six songs about death as seen through the eyes [...]
A rapper once asked does the fact that you have $300 jeans on mean you dream wrong? I don't think so. Expensive jeans have become standard these days making men everywhere feel more dressed up in denim. It's an exceptional piece in terms of pricing that seems disproportionately expensive to other pieces in our casual wardrobe. Sometimes, it can be stressful taking care of them. Personally, I've gone with the advice of washing denim close to never to keep them looking as they were on purchase. Airing them out is surprisingly effective as far as my nose can tell, but [...]

James; newcomer Brian Robinson . (more...)
The Underpainting - "The Underpainting". First let us talk of "underpaintings". An underpainting is a painting that lies hidden beneath another, on the same canvas. If we add capital letters & definite articles to the above, we can get metaphysical: The Underpainting is the painting that lies hidden beneath The Painting, on the same canvas. Or in other words, The Underpainting is the meaning of life. The Underpainting is also the name under which Brian Michael Roff now records. Furthermore, The Underpainting is his new album, due soon (with artwork by Matthew Feyld). And "The Underpainting" is the title track. [...]
