Saturday is a Battlefield
Skins As Soon As You Hear Quick and belated mentions for a few fine ways to destroy brain-cells, ear-drums and reputations tonight. The best things come in threes and that’s how tonight rolls. I’m discounting the Xiu Xiu gig in Whelan’s, cos in fairness, if you’re into Xiu Xiu, you’re probably going and if you’re not… well, I wouldn’t recommend dropping in for a pint and a chat. I’ll be down there... Read More
This week I will be mostly… dizzy
The Saloon As used to happen on weekends back in the days of yore (2009), there are a multitude of events taking place around Dublin in the next few days that fall somewhere in between sleazy and sex offender on the scale of 1 to R. Kelly. With varying prices, locations and opportunities for point-scoring with St. Peter, I can only give you minimal assistance in making your decision. I already mentioned in my previous post that Attention Bébé are... Read More
Attention Haiti
Emergency Haiti Gig Hopefully you don’t need me to tell you that the people of Haiti are in dire need of our help right now. Not since the tsunami disaster in 2004 has the world needed to respond in such a way. The cruelty of such a devastating earthquake hitting such a desperately poor country is unfathomable for us. Donations are needed in abundance and in double-quick time. Sure, we’re all poor too, but chances are if you’re reading... Read More
The Lyrical Gangster
Attention Bebe - Tripod Attention Bebe‘s gig in Tripod last night was more fun than throwing chihuahuas at clowns. When I went to see them in the same venue last month, myself and quite a few others were a bit the worse for wear so we never had the energy to get into the dancing fun. Last night’s crowd seemed far, far more enthusiastic, even if there were perhaps less of them and less of the footballs bouncing around annhialating pint... Read More
Weekend Photos
Attention Bebe - Tripod As promised and as late as usual, here’s some photos from the weekend’s festivities. Above is a quick shot I took when we arrived in to the Attention Bebe party in Tripod on Saturday night around 1am. Full photo-sets from the Junah instore in Tower and the single launch gig in Whelan’s are on my Flickr. Some sample shots are below the jump along with a crappy phone picture of some people in the Tolka river... Read More
Elephino
The Black Market in Home-Knitted Jumpers (Múm) Meant to post about this back on Friday as advance warning of the exhibition, but alas, circumstances got the better of me once again. Photos from all the weekend’s hijinks are coming shortly. On Saturday evening, I had a few photographs in the Elephino exhibition at The Back Loft at La Catedral Studios, St Augustine St, Dublin 8. I had 3 prints on your left hand side as soon as you entered the... Read More
1/40th of a Millenium
kDamo rave knitting Having managed to finally move house a week or so ago, there was major fun in my new gaff in Stoneybatter last week as we celebrated a triple birthday, and of course Holy Thursday. So many people arrived at the house once the pubs closed at midnight that it even turned into a quadruple birthday. Minimal structural damage and maximum fun ensued. The following day, the traditional Good Friday debauchery was a well organised affair.... Read More
