Damn Nordies!!!!





Well, those Nordies really stuck it to us tonight. Not only did Invest NI put on the most kick-ass party of SXSW thus far, but they premiered the trailer of Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn's Good Vibrations, which looks like it might break my heart its so damned pretty. I finally got to meet their VFX collaborators Evelyn McGrath and Kris Kelly of BlackNorth whose work I have admired and recently coveted for Anifest. A great video projection accompanied the evening's main event, performances by, amongst others General Fiasco and Cashier Number Nine. Great energy andperformances from all concerned made me almost forget the gammy limb currently purporting to buttress the left hand side of my body. The highlight act for me was Wonder Villains whose arse-kicking performance did much to reinvigorate the esprit de corps of this patellar (sic) familias.

Seriously though, well done Invest NI, you completely ruled at showcasing all that rocks about the six counties. A fantastic night, not just for NI talent but by SXSW standards, period. How's about ye? :)
