Get Spit on RTÉ
Put the Drogheda/Dublin no wave band Spit on television where as many people as possible can see/hear them
Why is this important?
Dublin/Drogheda no wave band SPIT are very good but have received little to no press attention or media exposure, denying them the opportunity to reach a large & unwilling audience. Although RTÉ broadcasts music on television, there are few opportunities for subcultural, countercultural or underground music to surface on TV. This should change, and the change should start with Spit. They're talented, they're photogenic, and they're sort of from Drogheda so accusations of RTÉ Dublin bias will be cut off at the head.
Where in RTÉ's programming do you find blistering, unsettling noise?
On the "Late Late"? Nuh-uh!
On "Tommy Tiernan"? Fat chance !
On "Other Voices"? Don't make me LAUGH !
Putting Spit on TV would meet RTÉ's guiding principles of "independence", "creativity", "diversity" and "excellence".
Nothing even faintly interesting has happened on Irish music TV since that junior minister decided to whine about SPRINTS on twitter. That can change now!
