Use the contact form below for a direct line to Drop-d‘s HQ. Our Facebook and Twitter are equally good means of reaching us, though we tend towards FB more than Twitter. Our MySpace is a historical document, kept up mostly for nostalgia purposes, although our news feed is still active there. We don’t have a Bebo. Just in case you were wondering.

Hey dude, mailing you there shortly, held up in college.
Hey there,
In your recent Drop-D writers’ Awards post you gave the Wizards Of Firetop Mountain video ‘best Irish music video’. Well I directed that video, so first off, thank you very, and secondly, I was just hoping that there was any of getting my name into the post. Not for any kind of vanity, just I’m still trying to get my name out there and it’d be a nice thing to turn up in google and all that. Anyway, thanks again.
Hello.
My name is Niceol Blue, of Niceol Blue and The Copper Soul. Our debut album “Rise” was released internationally in November 11th 2011.
I heard about your blog and would like to submit our album for review. I have linked to our bandcamp page above, where you can listen to the album in full.
The album “Rise” is a collection of original roots rock songs. It was recorded and engineered in Galway, at The Forge studios, and was mastered by Aidan Foley at Masterlabs in Dublin. The album features the talents of many well known Irish musicians including Cormac Dunne (The Stunning) and Tom Portman (The Bahh Band). It was released on my own independent label ‘Rock baby Records’, and funded entirely with money raised by busking, gigging, and donations from friends.
The Copper Soul live band was fully formed in 2010, and the result is a powerhouse roots rock and soul sound. The band consists of: Eoghan Judge (lead guitar), Karl Clews (bass), Pat Fortune (drums) Jenny O’Brien (keys), and Niceol Blue (vox and rhythm guitar).
You can find additional information about Niceol Blue and The Copper Soul and listen to all of the songs from the album at http://niceolbluecoppersoul.bandcamp.com/
Thanks for your consideration, and your time, and if you are interested in a physical copy of the CD and/or the single, let me know and I will send it right away, along with our band bio and press photos.
Regards,
Niceol Blue
