Yes, that’s right, it all kicks off tomorrow, and it should be banging! Definitely worth a road trip from the big smoke (and all other quarters). Here’s some of our top picks… […]

Things to do in Dublin – 23rd to 29th July

Movies -20-07-12 – Batman vs…
Who dares to take on the mighty Batman? Well, Ice T, the Lorax and a frenchie movie. Actually, it is a much smaller crop of movies than usual, and none are even […]
The Avalanches return?
Kinda. Sorta. Maybe. I’m not sure either. There’s loads of mix tapes on their web site here. Ok, they want you to register, but what can you do, there’s no such thing […]
Movies – 13-7-12
An average to dull week at the movies, with little of any importance in the pile of new releases. The Giants is a Belgian movie about three kids that are left to […]
Beth Orton – Peppercanister Church
Beth will be rocking out in St. Stephens in December 14th, which sounds very cold to me! It’s also a long way off. There’s talk that Sam Amidon will be a special […]
Movies – 7-06-12
I’m behind at the movies, as I didn’t make it to anything last week! I might try to get to a couple this weekend, although Film Fatale is showing Rear Window this […]

10 days in Dublin
This is a multi-discipline event, that starts on the 5th of July (Thursday) and runs for how long? Yep, you guessed it, the clue was in the title. No big names in […]
Popical Island 1 & 2
‘Galway got depressing, Ballinasloe’s a tip, Athlone sucks and so does Moate, and Enfields gone to shit’ – So Cow – “Exclusive Express Bus Service Licence Blues” Two albums of the best […]
Things to do in Dublin – 2nd July – 8th July
As was pretty obvious for the last few weeks, there was lots of things to do, but basically I just watched football! Sadly, this is no longer an option, as those over […]
Mark Kozelek – Button Factory – 7th Nov
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen Mark, and at the time he was having a very bad night. The air conditioning was too loud (even though I couldn’t really hear […]

Dredd – trailer
‘It makes the brain feel that time is passing at 1% of it’s normal speed’. Ugh. It can’t be good, can it? Fingers crossed it won’t be as bad as the Sly […]
Kevin Kilbane = Legend
As Paul McGrath proved last year, Irish Footballers are just amazing talented and could have been equally good at any aspect of the arts or business. Kevin Kilbane (Zinedine Kilbane or Seabiscuit […]
Animal Collective – Vicar St
Animal Collective were possibly the coolest band on the planet according to Pitchfork for about two years, but I think the torch has been passed on (possibly to Beach house?). They’re back […]
Eigse – 2012
Eigse is the Carlow Art Festival, and is generally worth a visit. It is particularly strong in the visual arts, but also has theatre and music. There is art work by Alice […]
Things to do in Dublin – June 4th – 10th
First off, what of last weeks lot. Well, Promethus has a disappointment, it looked nice but the story was a bit of a mess. The RHA nd IMMA in Earlsfort terrace come […]
50 Foot Wave – Free Music (But you should really pay!)
Miss Hersh is giving it away again! I’ve spent most of my lunch time listening to her new work, and it seems top drawer! There’s a very simple button on the top […]
The Bad Plus – NCH, Dublin – Rite of Spring
The main reason I know The Bad Plus is due to their cover versions of indie classics such as Velouria by the Pixies and Karma Police by Radiohead. They’ve put their own […]
Movies – 4-05-12
A slow week at the movies, which is a pity with all the rain that has been around the last few weeks, it’s perfect cinema weather! Monsieur Lazhar is possibly the best […]
Workhorse on Tour – The Collaborators – National Theatre, London
What’s the most obvious way to play Stalin, the dictator and malevolent ruler of the USSR? Well, as a lovable rascal of course! It is a curious choice and starting point for […]
