State Launch

Today I called along to the State Magazine launch, in Tower Records on Wicklow Street. Ham Sandwich(well 3/5ths of ham sandwich) did a short covers set.
I picked a copy of the magazine & a free 1GB memory key which was pretty nice.

The magazine has Michael Stipe on the cover, hand from what ive read so far the quality and layout is a nice change to see, it doesn't have the overcrowded look of Hot Press and isn't padded out with advertisments either. So very good articles that ive read and a few promising ones that I'll get to on the bus to Sligo tomorrow.
Glad to see a new music magazine trying the water in Ireland(and well timed to fill the gap left by Mongrel's Departure). I wish them the best and look forward to seeing more quality from them next month.
