Welcome

1969 Records is an independent label set up in 2005 by a bunch of music fans who are sick of too much style and not enough substance in the rock and pop world of today. This Dublin-based label aims to support artists with real talent and help them get their music out to a wider audience.

Febraury 2008

The new Pugwash single - Take Me Away - goes on sale 22 February on iTunes so you should all be able to find it. it's also available on Amazon.

You can check out the video for it on the Pugwash MySpace site, the 1969 MySpace site and on YouTube.

For those living in Dublin, Road Records on Fade Street have physical copies of the single but you can also buy it if you want it in the CD format from the 1969 Records shop.

The album follows on 21 March next and we have been getting great vibes on it, so notwithstanding the fact that we've thought it a really great record for all this time, it looks like other people might be agreeing with us. it will be in all good record shops in Ireland, on the 1969 Records shop and is available to preorder on Amazon.

For those looking for a live Pug fix, the boys will hit the stage in Whelan's on 27 March to do their first live gig in what seems like an age, and there will be some very special guests there on the night so you have all been warned, get your tickets here so there will be no disappointmentment!

The Pale play what seems to be becoming their annual show at the Guiness Hopstore here in Dublin on Patrick's weekend (March 15 - 6.00pm) so if anybody is around, we'd love to see y'all at that.

Get on or out and BUY the Pugwash single, there's now a download chart in Ireland which means that no matter where in the world you are, if you invest the €2 (or equivalent) in the downloaded tune, we may be able to get Pugwash into the Irish charts (again). That would be two chart hits in a row...

Thanks to everybody and we look forward to talking to you all soon.

THE PALE

Over the course of the last few years The Pale have collaborated with a number of different artists and their main strength as a group is that they always think outside the box. As the group have toured they have added and subtracted instruments and players to the line-up. The mainstay of the group has remained to be the unique sound conjured up by Matthew and Shane.

COUSE & THE IMPOSSIBLE

Listen to samples of the 2006 Meteor nominated 'Best Album' - The World Should Know - by Couse & The Impossible - generally regarded by critics and public alike as a great return to form for the legendary Dave Couse with his new band, "The Impossible".

PUGWASH

Since releasing their debut power-pop album in 1999, 'Almond Tea', Pugwash, aka songwriter Thomas Walsh and friends,has become an instant favourite of Irish and British music critics alike.
