Dubliners Pilotlight, who are now based in London, released their debut album “The Post War Musical” in February. The album was recorded with David Odlum in the famed Black Box Studios in France over a two-week period and the album has been a bit of an I-CON favourite this year. The lads were back in Dublin in February to play a number of gigs to coincide with the release of the album and we managed to grab them and send them out to the K9 Studios for a day of recording with Shane. “Afraid of Heights” is one of three songs they recorded live for us.
Pilotlight play the IMRO Showcase tour in The Sugarclub on April 23rd and in Tower Records on May 20th.

It’s hard to believe that Yes Cadets only formed in the summer of 2008 but the Belfast based electro rock outfit haven’t wasted any time establishing themselves on the Irish music scene. The four piece released their self titled debut EP last October and the track Canada was immediately play-listed by Phantom. The gangs K9 Session that they recorded in February '10 included a cover of the 1990’s club classic “The Rhythm of the Night” and this brand new track “Fall on Your Sword”.
If you like what you hear, check out the Yes Cadets live as part of Phantom First Friday at The Academy, Dublin on April 9th. Free admission before 10pm.
