Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
(To be sung to the tune of “North American Scum”)
I think that was the best festival weekend I’ve ever had. My brain is still reeling from it. Anyhow, here’s how it went down musically @ Electric Picnic:
Friday was a bit of a disaster. We left Dublin @ 4pm and got to Stradbally at 10pm, thus, [...]
The weekend was too good for words (right now). Proper review and video to come. Until then, enjoy the visuals.
Bodytonic Tent, 10am Saturday
Super Extra Bonus Party, Bodytonic Tent, Sat @12
Loads more after the jump.
A few people have asked for my recommendations for this years festival so I’ll try and do a roundup of stuff I’m looking forward to and you can take from it what you will. As a caveat, every decent festival experience should contain elements of surprise, so y’know, take a few wrong turns here and [...]

I think this is the upbeat podcast I’ve been promising all summer. As the sun finally shone this weekend, it puts us in good stead for the next when we descend on Stradbally once again for the festival of the year. So to get you all pumped about the Electric Picnic which starts Friday, this [...]
Well done to the lads and Bodytonic for picking them for a slot!
Saturday 12 noon to 1pm, Bodytonic Tent.
Arooooooooo!
I seem to be covering less “lads with guitars playing indie-rock” type music here of late, probably because little has been grabbing me that way. Then I listened to Malajube’s Trompe-L’oeil and it swept me off my feet. It might have been the comparison to the Super Furry Animals that got me interested at first. [...]
Post-Bank Holiday back in work “can’t think straight” blues. It’s from the new Blue States album “First steps into..” Sounds like Air and nice soundtrack music. Photo above is from yesterday’s Farmleigh affair, a great little festival in the Phoenix Park where Damien Dempsey and the Kocani Orkestar played (excellent). Photos below. Any reports from [...]
