Here’s the video for “What Will You Do?” which has been just recently been uploaded by EMI to Youtube. It certainly is unique.
The album launch for Oliver Cole’s We Albatri album will take place on Saturday 27th March in the Sugar Club, Dublin, with tickets available from Ticketmaster.
Oliver will also be playing at the Phantom First Friday gig, this Friday 5th March, in the Academy.
Oliver Cole has announced the release date of his We Albatri album as Friday 23rd March on his Facebook page. Also uploaded on the Facebook page was a cover for some sort of “Oh My Girl” single/promo. Some sort of launch and live gigs should be expected around this time as well.
The schedule for the Other Voices TV shows have been announced and Oliver’s set is not among them, disappearing into limbo it seems.
The video for the Swampshack song “Tuxedo” has been posted to Youtube by Ollie Cole, check it out all the way from 1995.
Concerto For Constantine have posted an EP on their Myspace page, something that’s apparently been finished for a while. There are 5 new recordings up, along with the “Minsk” that was previously online, the rest being:
Last Swim
Cats Cradle
Gaps
Vox Humana
Killing Fields

One of the main comments on the YouTube’s is “where can I buy such and such a song”. Well it’s only ever “Harder” anyone’s looking for but anyway, you can now buy all three albums over the internet, including Forward, which for a long time was unavailable to buy digitally.
