‘Hard Working Class Heroes’ Weekend hosts 100+ Irish bands in 6 venues over 3 nights: 26-28 August, in Dublin. Amongst them are listed Sack, Remma and Pony Club, who received Morrissey’s endorsement when he included their songs on his best-of selection CD for the NME: “Songs to Save Your Life”.

Sack accompanied Morrissey as special guests for 2 world tours, though we are not impressed with the long postponement of the promised restoration of their website! The MorrisseyTour website has some nice articles, photos on them if anyone wants to reminisce further.

Remma were also guest performers for a number of Morrissey’s concerts last year. Recently they returned from the New York International Music Festival where they won the title of Best International Band 2004. Work is currently underway for their debut release.

Pony Club could be heard as part of the song medley broadcast shortly before Morrissey’s appearances on stage last year. They are in the process of mixing the follow-up to 2004’s ‘Family Business’, and lyrics are brooding with “disconcerting touches of Nature Romantic poetry”.

  • Yes, we are not impressed! Stop drinking Guinness, get your site started and come to Germany for some gigs ;-)

    Hello to Sabine Szlachciak, Stefanie Stamm and the "Unfab Three"

  • Sorry, Moz (Score:2, Interesting)

    But Remma were dreadful. Nothing to make them stand out from every other Irish band, and all their songs sound the same.

  • Pony Club are fantastic, i don´t like their first album but "family business" is great and their singer/songwriter is a very talented guy, he used to have a band called BAWL, then FIXED STARS and they were incredible. Highly recommended.

    There is no such thing in life as Norman
  • I liked the Remma single from Attack Records (although I like the demo version of "Worry Young" more than the single version). "Sincerity" is an excellent song. Looking forward to their album. They have a good singer.

    Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling.
  • AAAAHHHH,It must be THE PRESSURES OF MODERN LIVING that keeps them away from what thay do best. At last they are back. Nothing like a bit of gay indie rock to give a lad a horn. Martin you are the Bear of my dreams. Carlos

  • There are loads of other great bands to check apart from Sack, who are now well past it and Pony Club, who are not that great live.Remma are worth a look though.

  • McCann was super-duper and new song Super-Weirdo got an outing from the new Album. Good set if a little short, which is the nature of festivals I suppose... Nice though..
