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!

Hello there,

It has been a little quiet of late in Kybosh land, but our latest piece of news is that we are happy to announce the upload of our new video for the recent single, ‘Until We Are Lost’.

This was directed by our very own Anthony Doyle and features half of The Kybosh…you have to watch it to find out who!

As always, have a look and give us your thoughts!

We’ll be back with more news very soon,

Bob

Well!

It has been ages and ages since our last update.

I can now confirm for you that we are ready to go! ‘Until We Are Lost’ is complete and we are just two weeks away from its release. It has already received airplay from Dan Hegarty and hopefully there’s lots more to come!

We’ll be on Balcony TV, Spin 1038 and others on the run up to the launch and we’re very excited about it all!

So have a listen to the new tunes up on our various websites and give us your thoughts,

Love,

The Kybosh

‘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

Well,

The first wave of The Triumphant Return of The Kybosh is now complete, and was fairly successful too.

We had a lovely build up to the Crawdaddy gig with some great press and a nice little warm up gig in Thomas Read’s on Dame St on Sun.

Last night started with the quite excellent The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock. Allen did a solo set and played some really beautiful stuff. I loved the solo versions of The Hare and In Country Dark. Best of luck to him at The Electric Picnic, where he has the unenviable task of playing at the same time as My Bloody Valentine!

The Funeral Suits were up next and the played an unrelenting, blistering set. Pigs, and Black Lemonade were some of my favourites and I would definitely suggest that you check them out at The Electric Picnic on Friday in The Bernard Shaw Tent.

Next, we made our way to the stage at around 10. By that stage there was quite a crowd and we kicked off the set with our new song, ‘Through Me’. Next was ‘Descent’ which has been recieving some very positive comments this week at the two gigs. We then moved on ‘A Deep Place’ which was played quite a bit last year, and now sports a few changes. ‘People Are Strange’ by The Doors’ was next. This was played in a very up beat and almost Caberet manner…Donal’s voice was really warming up at this stage. We then played ‘Until We Are Lost’ followed by ‘The Flood’. Both songs received a good few plays last year and The Flood in particular was really tight. The gamble of the night was our next song. We used to play Nelly Furtado’s ‘Maneater’ as our cover last year, and this was replaced by Rhianna’s ‘Please Don’t Stop The Music’. Brian then blasted into the opening riff of ‘Rubicon’ and we played a fantastic version of last years single, before taking things down a notch with Donal’s solo piece ‘Lemonwater’. The gig finshed up with ‘Out of the shadows, into the sun’ and ‘Beatrice’.

Thanks to everybody who made it out last night, and contributed to a pretty successful return for The Kybosh! Watch this space for upcoming news regarding our new mini-album…

Bob

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.

Well the first song from the new album, Only By the Night, is here.

Go download it from www.kingsofleon.com

It’s interesting. A definite progression. It doesn’t seem to be the cash-in attempt that I immediately felt an album this close to Because of the Times would be.

Think elements of U2, Achtung Baby era vocals and drums, Zeppelin guitar, NIN bass…it’s not instantly likeable, which is always a good sign! Roll on the album.

Well, in advance of the premiere of The Dark Knight (Which myself, The D and my friend Dave are going to see tomorrow night, Wednesday, Wahoo!)

There’s lots of interesting stuff on Empire, who have certainly helped with hyping this machine into overdrive.

Check this fortnight lead-up out: http://www.empireonline.com/darkknight/

In other news, the movie has broken all sorts of records over in the states. Looks like it is gonna be absolutely huge. It’s already the biggest opening movie of all time…please God let it beat Titanic to the Overall accolade!
