Following last week's trip to Kent, Red Bull Bedroom Jam heads over the water (volcanic dust permitting) to Belfast for the next LIVE show, which features Stand-Up Guy on Monday, April 26.
After some considerable time around the higher reaches of the Buzz Chart, the Northern Ireland five-piece finally reached the summit last week and the reward for their endeavours is the chance to show their fan base and the nation what all the fuss is about.
Hailing from Northern Ireland, SUG (as they're known to their fans) are Ian Booth on guitar & vocals, Conor Mullan on drums & vocals, Francis McEldowney on samples & electronics, Michael Ahern on guitar, and Philip Donnelly on bass.
With a full length record already under their belts, they get the chance to prove their metal. Here's what they had to say...
"An insidious rise to prominence. Snaking unseen over and around the cogs; the wheels of power. These are the established ways of the Stand-Up Guy, achieving his desires via dangerous means.
"So Stand-Up Guy, the entity, are grateful to have been selected for next week’s Red Bull Bedroom Jam; grateful to have passionate, loyal fans – with ears – who have put us in this position, and we didn’t have to kill anyone.
"It’s been a nail-biting month, anxiety clutching our chests come 4pm on a Monday, and we’d like to personally thank everyone who voted, made a comment or checked out our online profiles. Thanks be to Red Bull, for providing the opportunity."
So, we've established that they're barking mad then. Should be an interesting show at least! Before all that though, the guests on the couch are confirmed to be punk legends A.F.I.
Almost 20 years into their career as a band, the four-piece, led by Davey Havok, have played all over the world more times than you've had hot dinners and sold more records than a crooked Guinness Book Of World Records judge.
Their album Crash Love dropped late last year and so, when we heard they were swinging through the UK, RBBJ took the opportunity to trip them up and hold 'em down just long enough for a chat. See what A.F.I. had to say from 5pm on Monday.
Tune in to Red Bull Bedroom Jam from 5pm on Monday, April 26 to catch the LIVE show and don't forget you can catch up with previous shows there too.
