Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
Nialler has fled the country in the wake of ponytail-gate, so this gives me the opportunity to turn you onto an intriguing recent release from Wicklow’s Sarsparilla. Karahee is the first full length album by electro ace Damien Lynch, and the 8th release overall from Dublin’s Alphabet Set collective. Released on the 10th September [...]
Well, myself and Aoife are heading off to Poland for the week so we are going to leave you with this nugget of a podcast. It’s longer than usual but all these tunes come highly recommended.
There are two songs from the recent Well Deep: Ten Years of Big Dada compilation, a song from a compilation [...]
A few of us went to Seomra Spraoi on Friday night. There was a bit of a hooley going on with the Alphabetset heads and Radio na Life making most of the noise. Hats off to Sarsparilla, Fringe, Prince Kong, T-Woc, Wiggle, Johnny Alpha and A Force for providing the punters with some freakin awesome [...]
After the folding of V2, many artists were left to find a new home. Thankfully for Richie Egan he has found a new label in Co-Operative Music. Co-op is the home of labels such as Bella Union, City Slang, Luaka Bop, Memphis Industries, Moshi Moshi, Wichita, Rabid and Arts & Crafts in many European countries. [...]
Where to start with last night’s gig? Let’s start with the positive. The Go! Team absolutely ROCKED Tripod. It was a masterclass performance from a band adept at crowd interaction with a barrage of exciting polychromatic indie pop tunes. Ninja commands the attention of the audience with her dance moves, jump rope skills, old school [...]
After missing out on previous Caribou shows I finally caught up with Dan Snaith’s live show last night. I missed the show in September and also a few years ago in the Red Box (when they were then known as Manitoba) due to a no show support slot to Primal Scream. Andorra is one of [...]
I thought this would be worth mentioning as the early curfew in Tripod has stung a few people I know who have missed decent support acts in the venue recently and we can’t have you missing Cadence Weapon and SEBP can we? The doors are at 7.30pm for the gig and first band are on [...]
So what if it’s only Tuesday! This song won’t be beat! It’s been steadily working its way into my brain for the better part of two weeks to the point where I’m listening to it four or five times a day on repeat. It’s such a perfect little “indie” song with the exception that Norwegian-born [...]

Music bloggers are always leaving bands in their wake like abandoned teddybears, as they forge ahead looking for the next band before discarding them once again for something more shiny and new. Personally, I try not to forget to investigate the promise I heard in a couple of MP3s but on this occasion I completely [...]
