A sad day for all concerned indeed, Gengus (those lovable rogues) have decided to call it a day......then we realised that it already was a day, so we split up instead.

Shit jokes aside i'm sad to bring this news. but i reckon it was time and it's for the best.........& it ended neatly enough, friendships intact which was our main concern. so anyway thanks to everyone who was apart of the Gengus story & all the best for the future.

The remains of the band are looking at getting a new movement going, in what shape or form is uncertain to say but it'll happen sooner rather than later...

anyroad.........i'm sad to say i must be on me way, so buy me beer and whiskey 'cos i'm goin' far way.........

Thanks a lot.

P.s. Gav (Our Manager) if you reading this thanks for everything. you done a top drawer job & by the way if you haven't guessed you no longer manage the band cos it doesn't exist......

Love,
the Gengus Boys....

She didn't ask you where you we're from
'cos you know she don't care, she don't care
you just told her where you belong, in the moment.

She didn't ask you what you need
cos she's got what you want, what you think you want
so you went and fucked it all away.

So don't come looking' for an alibi
'cos you know knowknowknowknow...
don't ask me questions & I won't tell any lies.

Well i know you spent all of your life
pissing & moaning & beating your wife
yeah you went & you threw it all away

and when you get to the end
of that last cigarette my friend
when you've hurt so many more
don't come knocking at my door ….cos I'll say...

So don't come looking' for an alibi
when you've lost all your friends and you're saying goodbye
They're asking questions & I won't tell any lies

'Roight!

After Mondays drunken mess in the Mezz we really wanted to do right on this one..........so........We rocked up are set to double-speed and belted out a few tunes......but..........the put us on first, gave us half as long as the other bands & funnily enough the winners went on last, got the longest set & knew the organisers & judges........what a pile of shite. battle of the cock-noses.

anyroad, hope we'll be getting a few more gigaroonies organised soon.

This is a very good band with a lot of potential with some good tunes and with a hint of indie rock to there style

ICE COLD RAIN (rough mix) This tune has a nice hook in the bass line it gives the song a cool groove and adds to the melody, the vocals on this track could be better even if its only a rough mix.

YISRISALL (rough mix) Here is a great upbeat song reminds me of a old "JAM" number, very well composed with some great lyrics but yet again the vocal lets this song down too.

Hybrasil play Magic Music Hybrasil play Magic Music

Something special is occurring in Crawdaddy on November 21st. Not only are we being treated to three talented local bands (those being Hybrasil, Vinyl Moon and Gengus), but there will also be magicians, firedancers and the odd henna artist knocking about for your enjoyment. Hybrasil was formed in June of 2003 after a group of friends, acquaintances and assorted miscreants in Wicklow Town. Touted as one of the top ten bands most likely to succeed in Ireland in 2005 by IMRO the band was also selected to perform on the 'IMRO Showcase Tour.' With opening slots for the La's and Snow patrol under their belts, and some juicy big name supports on the verge of being announced, Hybrasil are no strangers to big occasions. Vinyl Moon is a five piece from Dublin. Very much based on guitar driven rock and roll, the bands influences stretch back through the 80's, 70's, 60's, and to the early American blues artists. And finally, Gengus is a young band from the city of Dublin. Mad to make an impact and get their music heard. Never one's to follow trends the lads have resisted the current 'indie rock movement' and stuck to their guns, doing what they can to develop their own personal sound. Doors for this one off event open at 8pm. Admission is €10.
Vinyl Moon, Gengus + guest DJs

Date: 21 November 2006
Time: 8.00pm

Price: €10.00

I had a dream last night
We were out walking
And in that dream last night
We were just talking

It took a while to figure out
What was on your mind X2

I had a dream last night
We were out walking
Down by the river quays
You said you would never leave

Come take me out of this place X2

I had a dream last night
We were out walking
Down by the river quays
I said I would never leave

If you go sailing
On that lonesome ocean
(Don't say I didn't tell you so)
Just keep a watchful eye
On those drunken sailor men
(Don't say I didn't tell you so)

YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE

Run away until your sure, You won't be coming back again
Run away until you've shown, You can stand your ground

- Cos your not like any other self respecting person I know
Cos your not the only minstrel who can make my blood run cold

Run away until your sure, You'll never make it back again
Run away until you've shown, You can stand your ground

- Cos your not like any other self respecting person I know
Cos your not the only cotton head child that I've disowned

* Taxman knockin trying to get a penny more
Your girlfriend hiding with an axe by the door
They want to know the date when you'll pay them what you owe
With no money & no love you've got nothing left to show

- Cos your not like any other self respecting person I know
Cos your not the only person in this world we all call home
