Twitter Tuesday is the new feature where I honour a tweet from the past week that impressed me or tickled my funny bone. I then find a link to a band or song to blog about! To kick the feature off in style here's a Tweet from the impressive Mannix Flynn [http://twitter.com/mannixflynn] ;
"Ulster says no no no, but Iris says yes yes yes"
Hailing from Northern Ireland John Shelly and the Creatures just narrowly missed out on my list of acts for 2010. Their song 'Long May You Reign' [listen to the EP below] might be very familiar to you in these parts from 'The Telly'! I'm not convinced that having your song on heavy advertisement rotation does any good for an artist's profile. [see Laura Izibor, The Laundrey Shop etc etc]. However from my knowledge of the songs of John Shelly and the Creatures there are many other great tunes in their catalogue such as 'Good Town Blue'. Their debut 'Dinosaur' is out this March!
