Big September will donate the proceeds from their latest single Moneyman to help fly home Irishman Robbie Robinson from Thailand. So, put your hand in your pocket please.
The new video of Big September’s new single Moneyman, made by Tom Prentice and Sean Fee. The lads will play a free gig on the bandstand, Bray strand, as part of the Bray Summer Festival 2013 this Saturday night.

Brisbane beatboxer Tom Thum (recorded at TEDxSydney at the Sydney Opera House last May), as the Guardian stated at the time, sounds like he ‘swallowed an entire orchestra and several backing singers’.
This by way of scratched vinyl, the Michael Jackson back-catalogue, the didgeridoo and an entire fifties jazz band.

Lovely. Anyone else getting a Shins vibe?

The king of the multiple mashup blends the biggest pop hits of the Summer thus far into a Daft Punk/Icona flavoured confection.
