not that it's in mortal danger but just to be cautious, yet fun.

ready?

let's go!

saturday 25th june 2011.

popical island #2.

you can click HERE, yes HERE and have a watch and listen.

music, CD, downloads and two jf&th badges! 2!

"Ike moses!" as Maggie Rafferty used to say down Jarra way.

we've been recording a new song (in a really echoey room).

i know, three songs in a year. it's getting serious.

"i never liked him anyway".

coming soon.

christmas has come early!

popical christmas that is.

a hard old station EP is now available for your ears. for the record, you have lovely ears. PI's XMAS EP features six marvellous tunes from some of PI's famous residents - including your very own jonny fun and the... hesitations.

you can stream it from this here machine, or you can visit popicalisland.bandcamp.com and experience it in full on-screen glory.

all money raised is going to Camphill and CanTeen. you can visit their websites and see what cool work they get up to!

but before you do that, have a play of the tunes, dip into your electronic pocket and send a few quid their way.

love and lime, as ever!

advent is upon us. Jesus and Santa are on their way, and Hannukah is here already.

with such activity you'd be hard pushed to find any time to listen to music.

you should though, cos THIS is on its way!

it'll be a FREE download, and will feature the Popical Island Showband (and your very own jf&th among other fine acts).

I'm so excited I'm going for a lie down, please excuse me!

to: you people who are reading this.

subject: gigs that we will be doing.

details: thursday november 4th (¡popicália!, shebeen chic, dubline); monday november 15th (popical goes west in róisín dubh, gaillimh)

ps: do come along, it'll be much nice.

le gig? bah ouais!

nous jouerons un gig!

or something like that. monday night, 11th october, anseo, upstairs. zine launch night for le hip du hop.

2 european pounds to get in, you get a zine to hold, a short film to watch and performance by jf&th to behold forever in your hearts.

there's a whisper about bingo...

see you there!

a girl with too many vowels in her name (to fall in love with), from popical island's all dayer #1, back in june.

right here!

told you!

have a watch and a listen, we'll be back with news forthwith.

we're going to do some gigs!

on this island, and that island too; a "tour" if you will. on

october and november are key months to remember. jf&th have written these months on their arms and on one band member's foot. we are pretty sure we'll not forget.

more details anon, once we've booked our funbus on the funboat and dusted down our thermos, coolbag and sleepingbox.

while you wait, you can play tunes over on the left, buy tunes on the left, and play tunes on spotify/sugarplex!

keep it ¡popicália! too.

well, it's not that hot, just a bit warm.

all's good here. we had a fine popical island day and played some tunes to new faces. oh and we were on the radio too.

then today we woke up to find out that we're on a compilation! FTW!

remember when john had that idea about 60 seconds songs being the future of music? well, he was right... eventually!

Gone In 60 Seconds featured a load of fantastic minute long songs - go and have a listen, we implore you!

remember we're on those other bookspace and myface sites - look over to your left and click a linky.

see you soon!

oh dear... someone broke the data aggregator!

“what does that mean?” I hear you ask.

well, we had a mishap on the interweb and deleted some of our old news. don’t worry, we have it safe in the shredder tho and a team of highly trained lackies are sellotaping it back together.

in summary… there’s loads to tell you...

it's 2010! hard to believe, we know, but it is. they have cherry coke and stuff now. but they stopped making spangles years ago. and floella benjamin did pretty well for herself after playschool.

but what about jonny fun and the... hesitations?

well, since being voted the eight best band in drogheda 2003, we have gone mega. we did some gigs, we have a record and we're having some fun!

you can buy our famously incubated album carpe p.m. now in CD or download it – have an old click on ourspace or over on facebuke. the download comes with bonus tracks and artwork. how exciting. you can even be our friend, or like us on those sites. being our friend or liking us doesn’t really mean you have to stand up for us if it came to your life depending on us. our cock will crow three times and you can ignore us in the street if you like!

we’re going to be on phantom fm's I-con show with cathal funge on wednesday 16th of june. for why?

cos… popical island have a compilation CD coming out. it’s all very exciting and jf&th are on it – singing a girl with too many vowels in her name (to fall in love with)

news just in from popical island – there’s going to be an all day free gig on 19th june

come along! see bands (more than 12 but less than 273), listen to music, have a soda pop, have fun, talk to us, have more fun when you realise your lives are more fun than ours, buy a CD, have some pizza (not included), then go home and have yourself a lovely sleep.

oh, and UK tour coming up in 2010 that’s when. FTW!
