SuperKidd Promotions 3rd Anniversary Celebrations

SuperKidd Promotions takes over The Stables this coming August 6th and 7th in celebration of their third anniversary. It's been an exciting three years under the SuperKidd banner, highlights including the emergence of many fine local musicians, free sandwiches and the old man being spooked by the death metal kids applying their make up. So what better way to celebrate than with two nights of the best in local and national music?

Signed to the same label as The Redneck Manifesto (who recently performed to a sell out crowd in The Stables), Enemies will headline on Friday night. Formed in 2007 they play upbeat post rock and have toured Ireland, the UK and Japan and released their debut album "We've Been Talking" this summer. Be sure to catch them live before they embark on a return trip to Japan this September, could be your last chance if they encounter any Godzilla related trouble over there. Fans of Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire are in for a treat as Awake Young Soldiers will also be playing on Friday night. The talented seven piece act won rave reviews for their set at Oxegen this year and recently released their debut EP "From the Veteran's Dreams". No stranger to The Stables is Tullamore native Mark Conway who has been described as a cross between Mick Flannery and Biffy Clyro which sounds impossible, but you can judge for yourself when he takes to the stage on the night.

Awake Young Soldiers


Rounding off night one is a very special treat for those who have followed SuperKidd gigs these past three years. Featuring members of Decipher, Ricotta, P45 and Twenty Twelve plus Thee Mike Cole, the Unknown supergroup (as they will be called because they didn't come up with a name in time.....) have promised a storming set full of shocks and surprises emphasising the wealth of musical talent Mullingar hosts.

Saturday night has a distinctly local feel with Mullingar's newest act Dillon and the Deadbeats headlining their first gig. After cutting their teeth with gigs around the country, they take to the stage in support of the release of their debut E.P, which is available on the night. Lending support will be The Two Man Gang who have gone from strength to strength since debuting at one of SuperKidd Promotions recent Open Mic Nights and The Last Partizan who count Oasis, Kasabian and The Beatles as influences.

Entry is just €3 on Friday and €5 on Saturday and both nights start at 9.30pm. Be sure to pop down for what promises to be two nights of stellar entertainment.

Yet Another Update

As you may have learned from our last update, we've had to postpone our August 8th Open Mic Night. Fortunately we've been able reschedule Jezzebelle who had been due to play it for our October 1st Open Mic Night, which is around the time they'll be releasing their album. Worked out very nicely indeed.

Updated Update.

In an update from yesterdays update, we've had to postpone our next Open Mic Night on August 8th. The August 6th Super Show and September 3rd & October 1st Open Mic Nights still go ahead as planned.

Summer Update.

You may have notice on our MySpace page that we have posted listings for our upcoming gigs. Hopefully this blog will fill in some info for you.

First up is our 3rd Birthday gig. This will be the biggest gig in our three years so we hope you'll pop down and celebrate with us. We have a brilliant line up (TBA very soon) and seeing as it's a special occasion, entry will only be €3 (Unless you are a member of the SuperKidd Alumni, when entry is free!) Lots more info on this over the next few days.

Just two days after, we host another of our highly (and surprisingly) successful Open Mic Nights (Open Mic Night 4:The Trilogy+1) with special guest act Jezzebelle. As usual if you want to take to the stage (be it your first or five thousandth time) send us a message and we'll save you a slot.

We've also confirmed Open Mic Nights on September 3rd (with special guests The Butterfly Graveyard) and October 1st with our regular MC Darragh J. Glennon performing for the first time in ages.

So as you can see we'll be quite busy over the next few months, hope to see you at a gig or two.
