Welsh rockers The Automatic are gearing up to release their third LP Tear The Signs Down from their newly established independent label, Armored Records. We sat down in NYC with vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Paul Mullen (ex Frontman of Yourcodenameis Milo) to see what fans can expect from the upcoming release.

After releasing one of the finest (and certainly funnest) albums of 2009, Dublin based band Fight Like Apes (which is: Vocalist/synth player Mary-Kate “MayKay” Geragthy, Vocals/synths player Jamie “Pockets” Fox, Bassist Tom Ryan, and Adrian Mullan on Drums) treaded their way into the frozen tundra that has become New York City. The band was scheduled to play at the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan and Union Hall in Brooklyn and luckily enough for me I got to sit down with them in a pizza shop not too far from Mercury Lounge for a wicked interview on touring, success, and why being a band from Ireland is simply awesome.
What happened in Haiti needs no detail or description. We are all very aware of what happened and the state in has left their country. The world is coming together to help Haiti and has seen fundraisers take place in every corner of the globe and from every walk of life. The rich are giving money and the not so rich and creating money. Money is what can make a difference to the people of Haiti and Northern Ireland is going to help.
There are numerous events/fundraisers going on up and down the country, way too many to mention them all and i’m sure we don’t know of even half of them. If you check out the link below they can give you information on the ones we are aware of. If you have your own event, you should post in on the very active Belfast4Haiti Facebook group!
Panic Dots approached the Belfast 4 Haiti campaigners and offered to broadcast a podcast to help give people awareness of some events that are happening.
Please have a listen and go to an event that appeals to you. If none them find another way to contribute. Haiti needs our help.
