 You first. Yes, Paul. How's it going? Good to see you. It's last to you. It's last. Brilliant. Thank you very much. And we're Frank Lysian-Frank. How are you? Good, very good. Thank you. Good, good man. And we're Paul Mooney. And we're Sonya Larrigan. That's it. And on drums. Great to see you. Paul, you were a couple of bands, weren't you? Aye. Two million, that's it. Do you know what I'm thinking about? You're up here more often than I am. But hey, now that I ask, it's good to see you. It's good to see you. Do you see when you see somebody like that coming in, you go, ah, well, we're in good hands here because this man's a professional, you know what I'm talking about. Frankie, give us a wee insight into the band. Your first couple of tracks, they were absolutely brilliant, right? And they wrapped the place. So tell us about where it all came about for Beware of the Beast. But where the Beast came about during lockdown? A year and a half ago now, we were, myself and Frank had been messing around up in his apartment just on acoustic songs that I had and Frank would turn them into these rock sounds and I was amazed that that could even happen and then Frank met Paul. I have known Paul for a long time. Me and Paul go way back. So when Paul was 16, I brought him down to Dublin and we won the Irish Youth Music Awards. I'm a youth worker in my other hand. Oh, are you right? Very good. That's some achievement. That was my three years ago. We went a while ago just... Smart boy here. I'm very good, Frankie, very good. So whenever Frank says that this guy called Paul Mooney, he might be able to help us with the music. I said, well, I know him well. So that was good. So it was one full circle. He's helped me with my music and I helped him get set up when he was a kid too. Well, I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to go straight in the music if you don't mind. So the first track up. When the night comes, release next week. This is the new single. And is this the first air play? First ever performance on it live. You can't find a wee looking old video. It's a say, it's been mastered by Paul in his remelting studios and it will be full release. We'll get it to you for an exclusive play at the weekend, maybe. Brilliant. The Saturday Shuffles. Well, the Saturday Shuffle, you see, that's the problem. We can't really... We have to start with a different genre, not for any disrespect to music, because we could blast that stuff out only. Frankie, give us a bit slower, Paul. You'd be surprised. I've never seen ever. I'll bear an iron moor this Saturday. We're doing an outside broadcast, so we could blast them out of it and iron moor if we put it on. Brand new song from Beware of the Beast. Thank you very much. Look at the place there. The bitch in the head is out there in the street. That was a joint one, but mostly Frank now. I came in with the bits I sing. We do a lot of joint writing. Absolutely. Of course, rock on the joint. Is it all rock? Well, yeah, there's a big influence with the rock stuff, but we listen to a lot of different stuff. I've been playing guitar since I was 16 and I always wanted to be in the band. Never did. So I get to this age now and I'm in a rock band. Happy day. I want a rocket. Why not? That's what I actually needed. We're going to take a quick abrick. We're going to get another track, maybe a couple of tracks between now. Absolutely. If people want to get this, it's been released well. It'll be next Tuesday night. It'll be available. Quick abrick.

Lost my car once in a multi-story. Lost my patience. My hair? Lost that a while back. But this week, I found things I thought had gone forever. The crackle of needle on vinyl. Leaves, crunching. I found them all at SpexSavers. I got free hearing aids with PRSI. And now those sounds are back. So is my jar de vivre. Still can't find those keys though. Book a free hearing test today.

And beware of the beast rockin' us here tonight. Frankie, you have a big gig coming up now. We do. Tuesday night. Yes, we're very excited about it. Tomorrow week or tomorrow? Tomorrow week. Not tomorrow, 20th. And that's down the college. Yes, thanks to Stephen Crane. Big shout out to Stephen. Is it yourselves or is it... That's the band. We're here. A whole lot of indoors this time. So looking forward to it. Last time we were rained off, we were just getting going to. We were seriously getting going. Reinstalled play. I have to give a shout out to Maria McCormick just before I forget. She sat down there with Katie. Laura May took her first steps today. Oh, excellent. Big day of the parish. What is it now? Because we have a wee band. He was taking the first couple of steps. He needs about 12, 13 months. And you're just watching him go. Brilliant. Great stuff. What's the plans? Looking more gigs? Or have you anything lined up? We're looking more gigs, really. We're trying to get to festivals this summer. We're working on our live set. Sonya is based in Dundalk. So when we get Sonya up, we focus as best we can to get practice together. But we've got five or six songs out there on all platforms at the minute. This will be our sixth when the night comes. And plenty more to come. We'll have plenty in the pipeline. We really do, like with too many. We have too many. Everything you're going to hear tonight has never been played live before. This is all new material. We're testing it out. You know what I was going to say. Bill Hazard, legend, absolute legend. He shouldn't really be a member of the band. He should be here, but filming. He's really the beast in the name of the band. Because remember, where was the first one? It was on the castle. We're in Rafoe. In Rafoe, that old castle in behind everything. You would know it was there. It's hard to find. You need to know. That was brilliant. This one, we're not going to have a video for, but we'll definitely be. There's other ideas in the pipeline for videos, most definitely. If people are looking to get in touch, Frankie, how do you get these on Facebook? Really? Is the main... Where are the beasts? Facebook, where you get us there, you get us on Twitter. All those platforms, you know yourself. You have to take advantage of them, don't you? You do. This is called Rattlesnake. What's the background to this one? This one? This was me trying to do a bit of blues. Acoustic guitar, and then passing over to the real blues guy. Ah, right. And then I had the lyrics, so he's got the guitar. Frankie is a snake phobia. It's my second song about a snake, and I hate snakes. Don't ask me where it's coming from. Well, who knows? It's in the right direction. Whatever you're ready, lads. All together? That's what's needed. You need a change. A change from the norm and a blaster without dust off things. The songs, are you going to put them together on an album, or what's the plan? I think so. This next set we're going to end up on an album, you know? I've been heading up at lunchtime to Frank, and we've got like a lunchtime session sound going on, and it's sort of scan a little bit of rock in there, too, and there's a similar sound in them, and we're going to try to gallop them together, yeah? We have a lot of them. Paul, it's a serious job. I'm just not... Because they're taking it very serious, too. And it's great to see your formation together about what? A year and a half or so, you say? A year and a half, yeah. How did you put together the fact that these all were rock musicians? How did that come about, just in conversation? Well, me... Pure bad luck. You could be right, Frank. Absolutely chance. Me and this man are big Tom Waits fans, and we've known each other for years. And it's interesting because Frank never got to the Tom Waits concert. Did you ever get to one? I did. Red carpet, laid out for you. Fantastic. I like to bring it up every day. Oh, I'm waving at us. Even the free beer bus. I wouldn't worry about the red carpet, but he was getting free beer. No, it wasn't free, but it was laid on. You know, he looked after us. It layer said, well, don't Franky in the band, and Mickey Duffy says, great stuff, Franky. Maria McCormick says, sounds magic. You know, we had a couple of bands up here, younger bands, when I say younger members, but they had that mad rock sound, which I actually love, and we had a couple of entrants on the song contest as well, you know, that were on the rock, and it's great to see it. Where's the platform for it? There's not that many, is there? You have to make your own, really. In my kitchen. That's right, though. Yeah, we've been down there a few times. I have a place as well for original music, because there's well-off cover bands which are great and stuff, but it's nice to be able to do some original stuff. You're 100% right, Franky. It's just nice to get original music. It's legendary, you know. It's great opportunity to say shout out to Steven and Valerie Bryce before the two of them together for a long time. How often do you have gigs come about once a month? Once a month. You should get down every Tuesday. Last Tuesday of the month in the cottage. Very good. And get all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Fair play to them both. Classic and everything. Opera. Frank does the opera. I'll do the opera. Not for me. Each to their own, you know. Right, we'll get another track if you don't mind. This one you're going to do first. This one, what are we doing? Tear it down. I wrote some of it, mostly Frank again. He'll lead out. When you're ready. There's two guards stopping. Steven down there. They're more than good. Why are there people's stuff? I have to get my breath back now. That's amazing. I do love that. What's your... Was it rap all the time? You say Tom Whits. When I was 14, I heard my good mate's older brother playing Bob Dylan. And I fell in love with music. Felt in love with Bob Dylan at 14. And then at about 30 odd I just realised I had to stop listening to him because I was really born everybody. Yeah. So now I don't really hardly ever. But I don't need to. It's brilliant having you up here. It's great to see you together. I think a summer could be big for you. She needs fairies. It's brilliant stuff. Martina Bennett. Martina Bennett said hello to you. If you're listening in. Watching on the way home. These guys rock. Thanks for inviting Jackson Rock. Thank you very much for coming down. Really appreciate it. One final turn if you don't mind. Okay. This one's got a wee story to it because this will start off the acoustic and it was Laura May running around the living room and I was minding her and I was saying I'm going to get you. You'll know what I mean. I'm going to get you. But that's the rest of this evening. I'm going to get you. And they turn around and go, ah! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Frankie, when you're ready. Okay. Because you're just too quick to stop. We came up today. We were so rad today. Excellent. And the three of us get at it. There was a stage where we played more gigs and we had rehearsed. That'll change. We wish you all the best because next Tuesday night, tomorrow week, in the cottage here in Litter County beware of the beast. We'll be there and go along and support good local music. I'm well done to the venues that do support local music. And that's very, very important. I'm Frankie and Paul Sonja. Thank you very much indeed. Check them out on Facebook, all social media. Beware of the beast. Thank you, Paul. Thank you very much indeed.
