Reports of Cyclefly's death appear to be greatly exaggerated with the Irish noise merchants playing back to back shows at Eamonn Doran's, Dublin (April 22) and Cruiscin Lan, Cork (23).

It appeared that the band had called it a day after parting company with MCA bit, nope, they've been busy writing new material and training in a replacement for guitarist Jean-Mi, James Welch.

The other big news is that mainman Decky has shaved off his dayglo red dreadlocks!

Songs suitably road tested, the Linkin Park-approved quartet will be shopping for a new deal and gigging cross-channel.
