This is a treat for all Luggage fans, a track from the a forthcoming Chicken Lightning EP, which will include three unreleased tracks and the title track, previously only available on the Zip Up Your Boots for the Showbands.

"I'm really proud to be helping reveal some music from Luggage's vaults. Luggage were in my opinion (and that of John Peel!) one of the finest bands Ireland produced in the 1990's. With only two EP's released in their lifetime they are underrepresented and a new our track digital EP will somewhat rebalance this. This is the first track online. More to follow.."

News from Saturday Captains:

"This is the eponymous debut disk from Saturday Captains, comprised of ex Luggage main man Barry O’Mahony and Brendan Tallon from Dublin Pixie-core outfit, Revelino. Together they’ve put together an album of lilting, mature pop music. It’s been 20 years since the heydays, but in retrospect, Revelino had some excellent songs. Now, without the grunge howl in the background and the comparisons that came with, the simplistic thrill of a well written tune can be properly appreciated. Luggage carried less baggage back in the day, but the talents of the two are perfectly matched."
