I just like the idea of these things, a free gig in a random location around the city. This time its Peggy Sue and Sons Of Noel And Adrian in coppinger row on […]
LCD Soundsystem
Remember last April’s volcano? Eyjafallajokull by name! I’m sure there’s a band called that by now. We all feared it was the end of those strange metal machines in the sky,and we’d […]
Camille O’Sullivan
One thing in the fringe that has been recommended to me is Camille O’Sullivan. It looks a nice mix of cabaret, burlesque and pretty good music. It might be worth a visit, […]
Fringe
The Fringe festival kicks off today, with its usual line up of things I’ve never heard of and a pretty shocking web site that’s impossible to use. I’ll try to figure out […]
Harmonies
The Harmonic series of gigs around Dublin are getting better and better! They’ve now added Titus Andronicus, Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Acorn, Polvo and Pete Molinari. I’ve never really got into Titus, […]
Workman’s Revolution
No doubt of the new cool venue in Dublin, with the amount of good gigs on there over the next few months! I think I’ll be going there quite a bit over […]
PVT remixes
PVT (formerly Pivot) are a band that changed their name to something that people can’t pronounce, so they’ll just call them by the same name they called them previously. Why did they […]
Cheers for Beer
Well, maybe not beer, but stout anyway. Guiness’s big marketing day is back, with Arthur’s day returning on September 23rd. There’s lots of gigs on around the city, but I don’t think there’s […]
Walkmen Return
Last time the Walkmen were in town, Roughan Sheedy very rudely organised his wedding for the same day. I’m well aware that he did this on purpose and that it was clearly […]
Arcade Fire quandry
The stupidly expensive tickets for Arcade Fire go on sale from ticketmaster tomorrow. Last time they played the Olympia and I ended up in a similar situation, where I wasn’t prepared to spend […]
You know, for Kids!
I saw Tim Robbins play/ sing live with the Rouge’s Gallery about two years ago, in what was probably the last ‘Dockland’s Festival’. It was a nice idea, to hold a festival […]
Unofficially Offical
According to most of twitter, and also the Irish Times, Arcade Fire are returning to Dulbin to play the O2 on the 5th of Dec. The truly shocking thing is the price […]
Micah
Micah P Hinson returns to Dublin, to Crawdaddy. The video link below doesn’t really capture how odd he is, but it does capture how lovely his sound is! He has had two […]
Fionn and the Mice
There’s always a glut of new gigs announced once i do a gig guide! always the way. Anyway, here’s two more. Fionn Regan in that odd new venue the workman’s club, as […]
Frightened Rabbit among others…
Got around to finally updating the Gig list. Nothing too amazing added to the list, other than Frightened Rabbits, down the end there, which I’m quite looking forward to (even though its […]
Cheers to Arthur
I guess Guinness enjoyed Arthur’s day mark one, as they’re doing it again this year. Supposedly the 250 years is complete nonsense anyway (as it was a completely different drink back then), […]
Belle and Seb among others
Around the same time as their ATP Belle and Sebastian have just announced a date at the Grand Canal Theatre, on the 3rd of Dec, Tickets are on sale already and are […]
Festival of world festivals
You wait six months for a festival and then two come at once! The DLR Festival of World Cultures is on this weekend (23rd to 25th) in Dunlaoghaire. Its possibly the best […]
For those in Dublin this weekend…
Africa day in Iveagh Gardens looks an interesting one, with bands such as Jape, Niwel Tsumbu, Solo Cissokho & more. I think Cissokho isn’t that one that plays for Lyon, but i’m […]
Pavement ATP
Stage times for the now annual trip to ATP have been listed here! First and most obvious tough choices, night one… Calexico and the Walkmen (only one winner really, seen Calexico a 100 […]
Dublin Gig Guide.
A lot depends on iceland not exploding, but this is a list of vaguely interesting gigs that are on over the next while. Feel free to add your own in the comments […]
