Stand up for Stand-Up Guy's busy summer schedule

The busy Stand-Up Guy are embarking on a series of UK and Irish dates to wrap the summer up. It touches down in Belfast on 3rd September when they support Finnish act Farewell at The Empire. More dates no doubt to be added, full details here.

Low End 09

Quick note on an event to wrap up the summer - The Low End festival 09...and why are we listing an event in Waterford's Forum...well it's because to compliment the headliners are a shedload of local (i.e. Norn Iron) acts. Here's the full line-up for August 28th and 29th...

Napalm Death
Primordial
Onslaught
Five Will Die
Stand-Up Guy
Overoth
Sirocco
Mourning Beloveth
Ghost of Medina
Spearhead
Residual Effect
Two Tales of Woe
Drainland
Orpheus
Red Enemy

Busy week of hard rock and metal ahead!

As if Saturday's awesome double bill of metal, when Dragonforce and Turisas laid waste to the crowd at the Mandella Hall, wasn't enough there's a helluva busy week of hard rock and metal ahead!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) Raging Speedhorn, backed by local noisenicks Residual Effect and Stand-Up Guy, blast the Bunkers.

On Wednesday, Funeral for a Friend (new darker, harder album out today), Cancer Bats, In Case of Fire, and Attack Attack are at the Spring and Airbrake.

And on Thursday The Answer play the same venue before heading off to support AC/DC on their Black Ice US tour!
