Kyp, of Rain Machine and TV On The Radio kindly came along and played a four songs at State’s Love:Live Music Day in the Mercantile on Friday night. He was a late addition to our first proper State gig in Dublin city which couldn’t have gone much better. Super Extra Bonus Party tore the roof off as usual and had the floor bouncing with May Kay special guesting on ‘Eamon’ and The Cast of Cheers played a brilliant set as ever (Kyp was a big admirer of both bands) and I heard good things about Take The Money & Run. Stay tuned for more FREE events happening soon. We were delighted with this one.
