USB Album
What do Kylie, Ringo Starr, Matchbox 20, Bare Naked Ladies and Saccade have in common? Read on.

Ok for anyone who hasnt heard yet Saccade will feature on the first ever Irish USB album. The opportunity came about from www.downloadmusic.ie when we released our first single "Wastin my time" with them last January. The single did very well on their charts making it to number 6 out of a good 250 bands at the time so Johnny and the lads at Download decided to release a compilation USB album with material from their charts. As there are now over 800 artists on the chart now the album had to be shortlisted to 50 entries and a panel of "Industry heads" were brought in to narrow it down to the last 15.

All details can be found at: http://www.downloadmusic.ie/wordpres...

The following people were picked to help choose the 15 tracks which will appear on the USB Compilation Album.

Adam Maguire - Journalist, Music Lover - Adam’s Blog
Aidan Curren - Cluas.com
Alison Curtis - Today FM- The Last Splash
Aoife Lanigan - Good Seed PR
Brendan Hickey - On The Verge
Brian Greene - Talking Voices Ireland
Dave Reid - BME Music
Edison Waters - Vibe Music Management
Elton Mullally - Channel 6
Elvera Butler - Reekus Records
Francie Conway - Musician, Songwriter, The Rockschool, Ballyfermot
Jennie McCullough - Brused Fruit Promotions
Julie Feeney - Irish composer, singer/songwriter
Ken McGuire - Kilkenny Music
Naomi Mc Ardle - HotPress- Naomi’s Blog
Noel Taylor - Artist Management
Peter Vamos - Phantom
Ray Foley - Today FM - Ray’s Blog
Rick O’Shea - 2FM- Rick’s Blog
Roddy Cleere - WLRFM
Ron Healy - Irish Unsigned
Tom Kerwick - Frequency Ireland
Trev Halpin - MusicReview.com
Una Mullally - Journalist - Una Rocks Blog

Kylie, Ringo Starr, Matchbox 20 and Bare Naked Ladies are also releasing USB albums this year as sales are counted towards chart positions.

Please support this great idea and go buy one when they are out.

Cheers,

The Lads.

The first Saccade newsletter
The year so far.......

Just some news on the Saccade front. We have completed our cross country support marathon which was a great experience and bundles of fun. We played with some of Irelands finest including The Flaws, Ham Sandwich and The Coronas in some really cool venues around the country. We also had our little TV stint on Deis-Roc where we made it to the semi-finals. Thanks again everyone who voted. We are really happy with the exposure it got us. We were also very chuffed to be part of the Eircom unsigned competition. We made it to the last 5 out 200 bands and solo acts and did a tasty little gig in 4 Dame Lane to launch the new website. The icing on the cake though and the most rewarding thing to date for us is winning the 2,000 euro Bursary prize provided by the BCFE. Thanks to Chris and his gang for this opportunity. We were chosen (from a group of four other great bands) by Stephen Power from Sony BMG and Ann Marie Walsh who works as a music consultant. Read more at http://www.ballyer.net/2008/03/sacca...

So all in all it hasn’t been a bad year thus far. Bring on the rest.

The return to Dublin....... Whelans, 14th April with Leopold and Open Door Policy

We are delighted to announce our first headline gig in Dublin in a while. The good folk at Ballyfermot College have asked us to come along to Whelans and headline a night for their annual project. Best course ever! And we were more than happy to say yes yes yes. We love playing Whelans. Other bands on the night include our good auld chums Leopold and Open Door Policy. The gig is on the 14th of this month (April) and its 7euro in which isn’t half bad for Whelans. The only thing is its on a Monday night and we all know how very "Un-Irish-like" it is to go out and not get drunk. So if you can find it in your warm little hearts do please come along (have a coke or 7up if your in work the next day) and support us. Its gonna be a great night!


The album.......

The album is so close to being finished. Only some very minor tweaks are needed on one or two or the tracks. We had some very nice ladies come in last week and put some violins and cellos on "Hang On" and "Cirrus" which sound out of this world. Ya can’t beat organic strings no matter what any synth head says right! We are very happy with the project so far. Our Producer Rob has really done a bang up job. I think we are looking at a summer internet release so get those burners fired up all you downloaders. First single should be released at the end of the month or early May. Stay tuned to www.myspace.com/saccade for more news on this.


Merchandise.....

From now on at all our headline gigs and maybe some supports we will be selling merchandise or as they call it in the business "Merch". Abbrev. are just a sign of laziness if ya ask me!...... We’d love to branch out and have our own line of toiletries or maybe some "Saccade home pregnancy tests" but its t-shirts and badges for the moment folks.


Oh Canada......

So our beloved manager Miriam has crossed the pond back to Canada for a while and left us with sickchris (that guys mad I tell ya). A big thank you to Mirzer for all the hard work over the last few months. We really appreciate it and are forever grateful. Whenever we see a bottle of Kopparberg pear cider we will always have one for you. All the best me auld china and hope to see ya sooner rather than later.


Smell yis later.......

Well that’s it for the time being lads and lassies. Keep safe and hope to see yis all in Whelans on the 14th. Remember to check in at myspace and bebo for regular updates and gig listings.

Bye,

Steve, Jay, Phil and Ed.
