"Welcome to the Madlands"

JUST WHEN did the Midlands get sexy? This weekend, a new film, Eden, puts Offaly on the big screen when it is released in Dublin's swanky Light House cinema.

Not that music-mad Midlanders must wait for the summer fests -- there is a vibrant live scene centred on a number of small towns, particularly Mullingar. According to Angela Dorgan, CEO of First Music Contact, which encourages the work of music collectives across Ireland, anyone who has done their time on the road has played The Stables in the town. It is also a regular stop on the 2fm2moro2our showcase. "Fans down there trust the promoters so much that, no matter who is playing the venue, well-known or not, The Stables will be full," says Dorgan.

Mullingar band The Blizzards -- currently holed up with their second album in a recording studio in Clara, Co Offaly -- say the support they receive from the local scene is vital to their survival.

"We're all mates from Mullingar," says lead singer Niall Breslin. "The scene here is so strong -- there is a real sense of all these bands getting behind each other, borrowing gear off each other.

Fellow Mullingarites Not Men But Giants were one of the hits at last year's well-regarded Hard Working Class Heroes music showcase in Dublin. - Irish Independent

Bio

So it began…four unwise men conspired to Greatness and, in the throws of booze and enthusiasm, pledged to make a dent in music history that would last beyond their mortal coils. Blood was spilled, then shared, and our four heroes became not men but GIANTS.

Bolstered by their experience playing together in other bands and projects, the lads immediately became One, and working at a furious pace they hammered out an impressive set of recordings which became the "30 Second Attention Span" EP. Shortly afterwards, 2FM came knocking and invited NMBG to play a leg of the 2moro tour, followed by a visit to RTE to record a session for Dan Hegarty’s show.

2008 saw the band shoot their first video with NYU/Tisch in association with hotpress for the song 'A Dying Art', which will be one of the songs included in their forthcoming 'Nooks/Crannies' EP, scheduled for release in August.

not men but GIANTS are prepared to plant a huge footprint in your head. If you wish to catch a glimpse of these Giants, simply look to the skies*.
