A Productive Weekend

Phew! What a weekend! For those of you who haven’t been checking out our Facebook page, we spent the weekend in Asylum Studios, Bow Lane with Jimmy Eadie (Redneck Manifesto, Fionn Regan, Messiah J and the Expert, Jimmy Cake). Our aim was to record the three tracks for our upcoming EP ‘Ignorance’. We laid the basic drums, bass and guitar tracks down on Saturday and today was spent on the vocals and synths…Rob got to try out his new Kaossilator Pro in a studio for the first time. This evening was spent on us putting as much weird and interesting percussion in as was humanly possible!

We’re delighted with the raw tracks that we have back and cannot wait till we have em ready to be heard by the general public We’ve mixing and mastering to be done yet which will take a few weeks, but we shall keep ya’ll updated/entertained with ‘sniffbits’ of info over the coming weeks!

In the meantime, check out some photos from our weekend here.

We’re Back At It

I know we’ve said this before, but we’re really back for good this time. We’ve been constantly writing, demoing and re-writing and the good news is that we will be heading back into the studio very soon to record our new 3-track EP. More news on this soon.

In the meantime, you remember ‘Until We Are Lost’ right? Our last mini-album for those that don’t…

Well, we’ve begun filming with this bunch on a music video for our track ‘Out of the Shadows, Into the Sun’. THe production stills from today’s shoot are great, you can find them here. Here’s an out-take from today’s shoot. Donal was finding it hard to lip-synch to a double speed version of the song ala the chipmunks. Thanks for being patient with us.

We’re still here…

Hey there,

My apologies for the lack of fresh news from the Kybosh camp. It’s been pretty busy of late between writing for the new album and with people involved on other projects.

Rob has been playing bass with a band called Ponyclub and that’s taken up a good bit of time, and others have had various projects going on.

We do plan to continue writing for this album…it’s what we’ve always wanted to do, it just may take a little bit of time! But we promise you, it’ll be worth the wait.

In the meantime, to bridge the gap, we’ve uploaded a free Live EP, produced by Venntertainment.com. This was recorded at the Futurism Club night which is run monthly in Eamon Doran’s, Temple Bar, Dublin. It features songs from the EP and the mini-album and a new cover which we think you’ll love…

Enjoy and Share it!

‘Until We Are Lost’ Press Release!

‘Until We Are Lost’ mini-album launch
October 23rd 2008
Whelan’s Upstairs

From the haunting opening strains of “Through Me” to the glorious finale of “Beatrice”, The Kybosh’s mini-album “Until We Are Lost” documents a journey into darkness and back.

Influenced by Dante’s The Divine Comedy and the drawings of Gustave Doré, The Kybosh have created a work that stands as a whole, a story that continues through the music, the lyrics and the artwork, painting the modern world as a dark forest in which we must lose ourselves.

‘Not till we are lost…can we learn to reawaken, and keep ourselves awake by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.’ – Henry David Thoreau

‘Until We Are Lost’ follows 2007’s critically lauded ‘Rubicon’ and promises to expand further upon their progressive and captivating debut.

The album will be available to buy in Tower Records, Road Records, musicmail.ie, and from iTunes and www.downloadmusic.ie.

The mini-album release is preceded by the title track, ‘Until We Are Lost’, released as a download single available from www.downloadmusic.ie or by texting music 1565 to 57501

The Update.

Hello People,

It has been a while, but I can finally say that I have some concrete news.

Today, we have put our new site live, and with it, have made a few pretty cool announcements.

The first is that we will be returning to live action with a great gig in Crawdaddy on August 27th, which is just 2 weeks away! Support on the night will be from the quite excellent The Funeral Suits and The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock.

In other news, we have a new song up. This is a taster of from our upcoming mini-album, which I can confirm for you will be released October 23rd, in Whelan’s Upstairs. There will be more on this at a later date.

And finally, http://www.thekybosh.com/ has been updated with new images, logo and other bits and bobs. Many thanks to Piers and Chris for all their work on this.

So I shall leave you be and hope to see you at Crawdaddy, Aug 27th!

Adieu.

I need to return some videotapes.

Good morning ladies and gents,

It is about time that I gave an update of sorts. It’s been a while.

Recording wise, Anto, Donal and myself are all finished and most pleased with our work. Brian is now holed up in Mij Studios, doing what he does best, and our hopes are to be mixing by the start of August. I can say though, that in my opinion anyway, I’m very very very proud of what we’ve got down so far. I definitley think we are moving in the right direction with this stuff and I’m hoping people will share my enthusiasm when the final mixes come out. I think it’s all very very promising.

The start of August should also see many interesting announcements. We really don’t want to say much right now, but some things that we’ve been sitting on for these last few weeks really deserve a proper announcement. So do hold tight.

If you want something to tide you over in the meantime, Piers McGrail and Chris Baume have been working away on Artwork and website respectively and we have a little teaser on http://www.thekybosh.com of what’s to come. Have a glance and let us know what you think so far (it’s not much).

Adieu.

Recording.

Mornin’

Well, the recording process for our next release has begun. Auntie and Brian are holed up in Mij studios laying down the drum tracks. Apparently they’re sounding very good indeed. As soon as they’re ready, I’ll be arriving in with bass in tow. It’s all very exciting indeed.

We’ve also been working very hard on preparing new artwork for the whole release. It’s still very much a work in progress, but it’s all very promising indeed.

And then finally, gigs! There’s promise already of one or two good gigs in August. So all in all, it seems to be shaping up nicely!

Bob
