Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
No doubt you’ll have seen the Future Days line-up by now. One of the acts due to play alongside Dan Deacon, White Williams, Deerhunter (?) and Jape in Vicar Street on June 14th is Brooklyn duo High Places.
Their Myspace description says they sound like - “Two dads hanging out” but Mary Pearson and [...]
Where the fuck did that come from?
It’s one of those times you’re listening to your iPod and you’ve no idea where the song came from and how it ended up there. But you like it. Things always come in pairs. An album arrives on your desk from the very band you’ve been listening to that [...]
It’s a pixelated wonder!
‘Water Curses’ is from the EP of the same name, out May 6th on Domino. Animal Collective return to Ireland for a show in Dublin’s Tripod on 19th May with support from Atlas Sound.
My recommendation for the week is the 2 part compilation Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-sounds & Nigerian Blues 1970-76. on Soundway records. It’s a superb document of the vibrant and diverse music scene in Nigeria in the early to mid ‘70s. I bought both vinyls myself, it really is the type of compilation perfect for [...]
Brand new and a little bit tweaked from the album version, the video sees the band playing in the round surrounded by black and white visuals. Holy Fuck. April 10th. Whelans (Belfast the night before). Fuck yeh.
Check out the No Age remix @ Gorilla vs Bear.
Ooh and I was also shown this first thing in [...]
It’s been some week around these parts. State Magazine finally hit the shelves from Thursday so do please pick up a copy and let us know what you think. Friday, I popped along to the Angel She’s a Killer launch thingy in Spy. Una knows all about it as her band MeNoFemBo is on the [...]
Since catching Montreal indie dream-popsters supporting Final Fantasy in December, my interest in the debut album Five Roses has grown and grown until it hit my playlist apogee this week.
It’s a thrilling no-filler record made entirely by Graham Van Pelt and fleshed out live by three additional members. It comes across as an indie [...]
Snake & Jet’s Amazing Bullit vinyl artwork
It took us a while to get around to this one with everything going on but the tunes below are representative of what I’ve been listening to for the last month. Most importantly, they are still getting played. Think of it as a snapshot of February. Thanks to Aoife [...]
Foals are one of those bands that only make complete sense to me in an album format. That’s because their album Antidotes is greater than the sum of its parts. Check out the Foals Interview on state.ie, what I did.
Here’s the video for the new single “Cassius”, which is about a Roman general and conspirator [...]
Poor aul Frank getting arrested for rock ‘n’ roll busking on the streets of Dublin. I was 50 yards away but couldn’t hear a thing. Anybody anything to report? Did he play any tunes?
Here’s Frank getting arrested. Such an anti-climax.
