Before recapping on everything thats happened in Bonus Land,I’m gonna start with the big news:
We have switched the venue of our Dublin show to Andrew’s Lane Theatre at the behest of the promoters – as a result we are able to offer another all-night show (8-2:30) for FIVE EURO!
We are currently putting together a lineup for the show which we hope to confirm by the end of the week but we are very excited about this and hope you will be too!
And so to the AOB:
Last week saw the internet debut of the video for Comets, directed by Donal Mangan so just in case any of you haven’t clapped your peepers on it yet,thar she blows!
Think that just about covers it…for now.Stay tuned for more details about the Dublin show in the coming days and don’t forget to check us out on our little mini-tour if you are in any of these fine locations:

SINGLE
We are releasing ‘Comets’ featuring the mighty Heathers as a download single from the 5th of February in all good digital retailers. It will be backed by a souperb Skibunny remix so be sure to grab it from iTunes or eMusic or wherever you prefer to buy tunes from.

DANCE TO THE RADIO 4×12 COMPILATION
We’ve also had a song picked for the final installment of the excellent Dance to the Radio 4×12″ series. An edit of ‘Who Are You And What Do You Want’ with R.S.A.G. appears alongside Drink Up Buttercup, Milk White White Teeth and Paul Thomas Saunders.
It runs from 8pm til 2am so we have the venue the WHOLE night!
Also appearing for SEBP’s set will be collaborators from SEBP’s sophomore album NIGHT HORSES to lend their vocal talents to the songs they appear on including the aforementioned Heathers and Rodrigo Teles in his last performance with the band before he leaves us for Brazil.
Tickets are available now priced €17.50 from Ticketmaster outlets and you can buy them here.
First off, a massive thank you to everyone who turned up to our gig in Kill on Friday night – as some of you were aware it was important to us in more ways than one and we were delighted how it went down! Thanks also to Ronan at the Late Lounge for being extremely happy to accomodate us in any way possible – a gentleman you are sir.Thanks finally to Defex,Ciaran Dwyer and the two DJs for the excellent support.
I am sure there were a few sore heads in the Bonus Party camp on Sunday morning after our great friends BAND ON AN ISLAND launched their debut record ‘The Sound Sweep’ in The Academy 2 on Saturday night – myself and Fatzy joined them onstage for a few numbers and it was absolutely brilliant – the record will be available nationwide from November 6th so go out there and buy buy buy!
