Pinky

Pinky may also refer to the mouse voiced by Rob Paulsen on the animated program Pinky and the Brain. The name Pinky recently started popping up on music listings but the man himself remains a mystery. We don't know much about him, but what we do know is that he hasn't been part of the Dublin music circut for that long. Once upon a time he was, apparently, an angelic young cathedral chorister with a striking voice.

Cosmic Kids

Cosmic Kids Ron Poznansky and Dan Terndrup didn’t meet in outer space as their DJ moniker may indicate, but the story is still equally as good. The two met in a high school classroom meant for kids who had trouble paying attention. They bonded over their love of classic rock. Right out of high school they both volunteered to work at the Los Angeles radio station KCRW. Known for its eclectic programming, the friends were exposed to all different kinds of music, and began collecting and consuming records, feeding their ever-expanding appetite for music.
