Culchie Calling Cards – Gigs – July 26 – August 1 2010

Something for the not that young artists section, Donovan is playing the Olympia on 4th October. From 1966 through 1969, Donovan scored a string of eleven Top 40 hits in a row, including Mellow Yellow and Sunshine Superman. Of interest to Beatles fans, he is one of the few artists to collaborate on songs, contributing [...]

Gogol Bordello To De-Winterise Dublin.

There’s a band called Hamfatter, best known for stomping onto Dragon’s Den and wrangling £75k out of the dragons by playing their song Sziget as a marketing pitch. Sziget is a song about getting wrecked at the Hungarian uber-festival, and I bloody love it, because of the lyric… I’m at the front, right in the [...]

There Is A God! Johnny Flynn plays Ireland in September.

He plays Auntie Annie’s in Belfast on the 17th, Academy 2 [...]

Oxegen Preview Picks – Lissie, Frightened Rabbit and Kele.

Two from Friday, one from Saturday, folks; I have to be back at work on Monday morning, after all (not that I’m going to Oxegen in any sphere but spirit). Here’s my three cents for this weekend’s aural extravaganza! Friday – Lissie – 2fm/Hot Press Academy Stage … and for my money, the stage of [...]

Keith Barry’s Asylum: Review

Having seen Keith Barry interviewed during the year on Tonight with Craig Doyle, I had some idea of what to expect from the mentalist in his new show ‘The Asylum.’ What I didn’t expect was to be greeted outside the Olympia by Max – a man in an orange jumpsuit and facemask reminiscent of the [...]

Live Review: RSAG at the Academy

In fact, the most prominent recognition drummers have received in recent times is through a weird combination of a gorilla suit and a Phil [...]

Green Day at Marlay Park

As the concert came to an end, and as Billy sang Wake Me Up When September Ends, it began to rain more heavily. Here comes the rain again, Falling from the stars, Drenched in my pain again, Becoming who we are. It was almost something cinematic. It meant something to all of us. And Billy, [...]

Review: Murder By Death at Crane Lane

Living on the verges of the city, I rely heavily on public transport to get me in and out of gigs and other such entertainments. Having very sensitive ears, I rely heavily on my iPod to save me from the kind of toss they play on national radio and broadcast on public transport. Not that [...]
