Worst Bands Ever…

By No More Workhorse on February 17, 2012 • ( 7 Comments )

Always an interesting discussion, and for me an enjoyable one. Personally I’m not sure how any such list can exclude The Cranberries. Anyway, this has a couple of entries to upset the […]

Movies – 17-02-12 – JDIFF

By No More Workhorse on February 17, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

Movie fever has hit Dublin, with the Film Festival in full swing today. There’s also some good deals here for the next hour and ten minutes! It’s 1 to 3 everyday and […]

Play & Record – A record a day, every day in 2012

By No More Workhorse on February 17, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Play & Record is writing about a record (on vinyl) every day in 2012. In their own words: “Each day I will post a photo or several of the record’s packaging (which is […]

David Pajo – Workmans club

By No More Workhorse on February 17, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Just did my gig guide the other day, and then I see that David Pajo (Papa M) is playing the Workmans club on May 27th! Don’t think the tickets are on sale […]

Jameson Dublin…. Film… JDIFF

By No More Workhorse on February 16, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

God, it is a long title, could they not have got something a bit snappier? Anyway, the Film Festival starts in Dublin today, with all details here. As with all these things, […]

Gig Guide – 16-02-12

By No More Workhorse on February 16, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I think this gets later every month! I must set a date and then just do it every month. Would make sense. New additions worth a mention include… Aidan Moffat and Bill […]

New Irish Music – Deaf Joe

By No More Workhorse on February 15, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I must admit, I only checked this guy out as I thought he was Mumbling Deaf Ro, who had dropped the mumbles. Is Ireland really big enough for a Deaf Ro and […]

Sharon Van Etten – Whelans

By No More Workhorse on February 14, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Sharon Van Etten is coming to town, for supposedly the first time! She’ll be playing Whelans on Friday May 18th. We mentioned her here before when she sang on the National’s lovely […]

Sad news for live music fans

By No More Workhorse on February 13, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

The Tripod and Crawdaddy have closed, with various reports that the venue has been sold. By all accounts, it will be set up as competition to Copper Face Jacks, I presume on […]

Movies – 10-02-12 – The Muppets

By No More Workhorse on February 10, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Another week of good news, as not only is there a new Muppet movie on the streets, but it’s also meant to be good! The strange thing is that most of the […]

Lenny Simply Rules!

By No More Workhorse on February 7, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

There’s Lenny fever in the air, with the new Leonard Cohen album hitting the streets. There’s a couple of cover version albums doing the rounds, just to remind us of how good […]

Shlohmo – Bad Vibes & Vacation EP

By No More Workhorse on February 7, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Released last year, Bad Vibes by Shlohmo would probably have snuck into my top 10 of the year. It’s rarely been off rotation the last week. It kinda just gets under your […]

The Amazing Spiderman… again!

By No More Workhorse on February 7, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Ok, it looks pretty good, but I can’t help but feel we just saw this movie! Can Hollywood keep rebooting these franchises? Surely they should wait a few years before they kick […]

Is Lana Del Rey real or fake?

By No More Workhorse on February 6, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

Ok, people have officially turned on Lana, and it was always going to happen. She released her first album under the name Lizzy Grant and looked like the photo above (cute girl […]

Movies – 03-02-12 – Chronicle

By No More Workhorse on February 3, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Oh happy day, I think we have a good sci fi movie on our hands! Even more exciting is that it’s one of those found footage movies that just make you think […]

New Gigs in odd venues

By No More Workhorse on February 2, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

A few new gigs have cropped up in the last few days that are worth a mention. First up it’s Grouper in the Unitarian Church, where a lot of my friends have […]

David Shrigley

By No More Workhorse on February 1, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

David Shrigley is an interesting character. It’s hard to argue otherwise, as he gets up to a lot! He’s an artist, song writer and video director among other things. Many of his […]

Mercury Music Prize points to lazy Irish bands!

By No More Workhorse on January 31, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

It is conclusive evidence, and cannot be argued with in any way shape or form, Irish bands are lazy! When they should be off selling their wares in foreign countries, they all […]

Movies – 27-01-12

By No More Workhorse on January 27, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

First up, the Descendants, which I was lucky enough to get to see as part of the le cool preview. This is the new movie by Alexandre Payne (Sideways and About Schmidt) […]

A Plastic Rose

By No More Workhorse on January 26, 2012 • ( 1 Comment )

Full disclosure, my brother-in-law, Ian, is in the band A Plastic Rose but I want to congratulate the guys on their incredible performance supporting Snow Patrol in the Belfast Odyssey last night. […]

Dunlaoghaire Pavilion Theatre Events

By No More Workhorse on January 25, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

The same venue that also gives you ‘An evening of nostalgia with Johnny McEvoy’ also has some events that are aimed at a younger audience! In their Spring Catalogue, there’s a few […]

Factory Floor play the Tripod?

By No More Workhorse on January 24, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

Well, maybe. Who knows. On Banquet’s facebook page they have: “Delighted to inform you that on February 4th we’ve got the amazing FACTORY FLOOR playing live @ Banquet! These guys are incredible […]

Jamie XX and Caribou mixtape

By No More Workhorse on January 23, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I’m only listening to this now, so no idea what it’s like, but it’s free and it’s by people who you’d normally respect! I’m still recovering from Caribou’s headline set at ATP, […]

New music: Natural Traits – Ernest Gonzales

By No More Workhorse on January 23, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

Listen to the entire record below. Lovely new electronic album from Ernest Gonzales

New music: Oneohtrix Point Never – Rubio

By No More Workhorse on January 20, 2012 • ( 1 Comment )

There was a lot of hype about Oneohtrix Point Never’s album Replica in 2011. Oddly enough, I would normally be looking forward to hearing an album that is ambient/electronic etc but the first […]

Movies – 20-01-12 – Lighthouse Cinema Reopens!

By No More Workhorse on January 20, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

It’s old news at this stage, as it was announced on Tuesday, but it’s only happening today, so I thought it was worth a mention. That and the fact that there’s not […]

The National curate ATP

By No More Workhorse on January 19, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

This is something I’ve hoped for, for a while anyway, and I thought they had nearly gone too big to do it, but thankfully it’s not the case. The National are picking […]

Daniel Rossen – Saint Nothing

By No More Workhorse on January 19, 2012 • ( 2 Comments )

If it sounds like Grizzly Bear or Department of Eagles, it’s because Daniel is part of both bands! He has a lovely voice and this song builds from a very simple piano […]

New music: Nicolas Jaar – With Just One Glance (feat. Scout LaRue)

By No More Workhorse on January 19, 2012 • ( 1 Comment )

Nicolas Jaar has put out a new track featuring Scout LaRue on vocals (the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore). And damn fine vocals they are too. It’s a smoldering beauty and very hard to […]
