The Hard Working Class Heroes festival launched last night at the pool hall in the Palace. Even though it was a pissy night, there was a darn big turnout. And there's loads of new stuff going on this year for the festival's 5th birthday.
Bands can apply to play the festival here and the closing date is July 19th.
This year the festival is being held in the Pod complex in five rooms (five I hear you say? Yes. Two of them are new and hold 300 punters each and have not been named yet. Help name there here.

Also, there are a bunch of Scandinavian bands playing this year. Keep up to date with the Scandinavian Invasion here
The launch was fun. Chatted with Brian and Angela who run the festival and who both rock. I've so much respect for them for building this up with zilcho financial reward for themselves and all for the love of the music and showcasing new bands, it's awesome.
Also bumped into Michael Tripod, Peter Vital, John Brereton (who is responsible for most of my journalistic buzz. When I worked in the Hub with him, The Event Guide were looking for a new music writer and John suggested me to Kieran Owens the editor there, and I went on to write for them for nearly two years. Previous to that I wrote for Infotainment, QED, The Slate, fashion.ie, Cluas.com and after I wrote for Gay Community News, one random travel article in the Sunday Independent, Totally Dublin and now the Tribune, yaysies.), Martin who manages Dark Room Notes, the rockin Nadine from Phantom, and the lovely Fight Like Apes crew.
The Minutes (whom I last saw when Brian was playing with them supporting Maximo Park @ Dolans in Limerick), Angel Pier (who have a savage guitarist) and the amazing amazing Fight Like Apes who I love more and more every time I see them play. If you haven't seen them live yet, you're missing out so catch them NOW!
Then me and Lili left and went for a Baileys at around 10pm in the seriously dodgy gangster pub beside my gaff where a group of GANGSTERS were sitting around watching a DVD of Carlito's Way. Pretty funny. We left swiftly, obviously and went to Chicken Hut.
