The bad intentions are influenced by the vague hope that Patrick will pay them some money, and by the whip he uses during rehearsals to make them do what he says.
Patrick Freyne and His Bad Intentions are in the development stages at the moment so they don't want to be too specific about how they sound, but they use various stringed instruments, toy instruments, and electronic beats, and they all like to sing.
If you want an idea of where they are coming from, Patrick Freyne used to play art-rock with the NPB and country duets with El Diablo, and between the two bands he has released five albums and 8 singles/EPs on the Catchy Go Go Label www.catchygogorecords.com
He has toured with the Handsome Family and the Willard Grant Conspiracy and played with Goldfrapp, Calexico, Gorky's Zygotic Mynkie, the D4, Snow Patrol, the Frames, and lots of other bands he can't remember.
All that is merely the musical CV with which he tries to impress people. It rarely works. Most people say: " Well how come I've never heard of you?" which hurts his feelings.
Patrick Freyne and his Bad Intentions like independent music, seventies country rock, metal, low-fi music and Girls Aloud.
They also like talking to people, country walks, books on history, books on psychology, organising things alphabetically, crisp dry winter mornings, making lists, George Hook, cottages in Wales, drinking coffee, drinking tea, drinking beer, drinking whiskey, drinking water, going for drives, singing around the house, and radio 4.
Patrick Freyne and his Bad Intentions all met while doing a masters in Music and Media Technology in Trinity College. This made them very pragmatic and self-sufficient. Like the A-Team they all have individual specialities which I won't go into here.
The Bad Intentions are in alphabetical order:
Jack Cawley (Bitter Little Cowboy),
Les Keye (Wilde Oscars),
Eoin Mac Ionmhain (Calico Jak),
and Frances Mitchell (NPB).
Hey there PF & HBI, hope you are all well. We have a new song up - "Dogs", a chilling tale of canine revenge. Unusually for a My Pilot tune, it's quite upbeat and even has a discernible tune. Check it out if you have a spare 3 minutes 40 seconds.
Given that current technological difficulties dictate that we can record no new music, a “new” old song has been posted. Just a demo really but if you like seven minute long, funereal slowcore dirges then you may just dig it. It’s called ‘This Desert Life’.
Hi Patrick! See ye know Leslie Keye as well. I actually first heard Leslie playing from behind his bedroom door when he was 19 and he's the reason I ended up a godforsaken slave to music. Which is a good thing, I guess...

Amnesty International volunteers are descending again on the Electric Picnic armed with funky postcards, fair trade teas, coffees and yummy food. Visit the Freedom Café and Action Centre to chill out and listen to our fabulous DJs spinning tunes.
This year our activism will focus on the need for Irish skies to remain ‘Torture Free Skies’. Irish airspace should not be used for the transfer of individuals to or from secret detention centres or Guantánamo Bay. We will also be campaigning against the death penalty in Japan, to protect women human rights defenders in Zimbabwe and for justice for the people of Darfur.
Watch out also for our free text petition for Darfur, unique one-off Electric Picnic t-shirts and our super cool Instant Karma albums.
Hugely supportive festival goers signed all 16,000 of the postcards from last year in less than 48 hours! Two thousand, two hundred people signed the SMS petition to close Guantánamo and a whopping 22,000 people participated in the Big Toast – the largest ever single venue toast “to freedom”!
I had a very long and funny message about you opening a guitar repair shop called Patrick Freyne and His Bad Intonations, but i deleted it somehow. Anywho, just wanted to let you know about my launch. On the plus side, it looks like it will be a good night; on the downside, Richie will be there sucking the charisma out of the room. I'll admit that it's a tough call.
Bests,
Ro

Hi, hope you don't mind a plug (but it involves a free track!).
1 Here's the free track: click here to download, and message me if you like it! (It's a bit Beatley/Bowie-esque/Kinksy).
2. If you DO like it, you can download my new single on iTunes or, if you live in Ireland, by texting music 233 to 57501 or visiting downloadmusic.ie. Costs about 1 Euro.
3. And if you really like that, you can get the album, "Twisted City", from CD World or Amazon.
Thank you SO much. And sorry for the plug...it's the kind of things we indie musicians do! Best Chris
