POXOGEN 07

SETTING UP THE SECOND ANNUAL POXOGEN FESTIVAL IN CAVAN. LAST YEARS 2 DAY EVENT WENT DOWN VERY WELL WITH BLINDING PERFORMANCES FOR SOME OF IRELANDS FUNKIEST UNDERGROUND ACTS...DUBLIN NOISEMONGERS LEBOWSKI SHATTERED FRONT ROW TEETH WITH EXPLOSIVE TRACKS FROM LAST YEARS "SHOP BLITZ" ALBUM. REGGAE HEROES TALIWAH PLAYED THEIR FIRST LIVE SET EVER ON THE FRIDAY AND THEIR BLEND OF DUB/SKA/ROOTS WENT DOWN SO WELL THEY HAVE BEEN BACK 3 TIMES. DUBLINS 'BIG WHEEL CADILLACS' BROUGHT AN OLD SCHOOL DIRTY BLUES SOUND WHILE FRIDAY NIGHT HEADLINERS BAD BALLOON DROPPED THE A BOMB WITH THEIR WEIRD TIME SIGNATURES, FUCKED UP RYTHEMS AND FUNKADELIC BASSLINES. 22 BANDS PLAYED OVER 2 DAYS ON 2 STAGES AND THIS YEAR WILL BE EVEN BIGGER. LAST YEAR WE COVERED A SERIOUS MIX OF MUSIC, FROM METAL TO REGGAE TO JAZZ TO HIP HOP TO BLUES TO ACOUSTIC. THIS YEAR WE SHALL TOP THAT LIST AND I BELIEVE THE TURNOUT WILL BE ALOT LARGER.
