The Soledad Brothers play a free show in Pine Lodge, Myrtleville, Co. Cork on Sat 3rd May (bank holiday weekend). They play Whelans in Dublin night after with The Kills.
The Soledad Brothers
The dark indie rock/ blues duo Soledad Brothers began in early 1998 after guitarist/vocalist Johnny Wirick (a.k.a. Johnny Walker) asked drummer Ben Smith (a.k.a. Ben Swank) if he wanted to play a show. Since then, they have recorded for Detroit's Italy Records and Bellingham, Washington's Estrus label. Wirick and Smith's partnership can be traced back to their days in the Toledo, Ohio blues group Henry and June, which existed from 1994 until 1996. After that group broke up, Wirick continued playing with drummer Doug Walker in the two-piece blues outfit Johnny Walker. Before one of the band's shows in early 1998, Walker decided to leave the group. Looking for someone to fill in for the gig, Wirick turned to Smith, who agreed to play. Developing from what was supposed to be a one-off show, Wirick and Smith decided to continue as the Soledad Brothers.
After a few performances around the Toledo, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan areas, Dave Buick, owner of the Detroit-based Italy Records, approached the Soledad Brothers about cutting a single. This turned out to be their first 7", released in late 1998. Around the same time as the release of the single, the national independent label Estrus began distributing some of Italy's catalog. Upon hearing the Soledad Brothers, Estrus signed the group in early 1999. With the label, the band recorded their second single, which was released late that year. Jack White, from Detroit band The White Stripes, produced the 7". White had known the Soledad Brothers since their first gig and was a labelmate of the group during their time with Italy. White also assisted the band for two years recording their self-titled debut which featured Meg playing pots and pans in the background.
It was during those two years that the group opened a show at Cleveland, Ohio's Pat's, located in the famous Flats, for legendary MC5 manager/rabble rouser in chief John Sinclair. He enjoyed the Soledad Brothers so much that he invited them to be the backing group for his part of the performance. This led to a friendship with Sinclair that resulted in him writing the liner notes for the band's debut album.
Their recent album, "Steal Your Soul and Dare Your Spirit to Move", added several new instruments including a second guitar and sounds like a runaway train crashing into a graveyard.

MIKABOMB
Mika Handa had a pretty clear vision - forming the coolest garage rock band ever to grace the world. They were to be called Mikabomb. Recruitment began almost immediately with Mika finding no shortage of similar minded Japanese garage stars hanging out in the darker corners of clubs and venues.
This assorted band of determined young Asian girls (and a guy drummer) started things rolling in 1999. This led to instant recognition. The band were championed by Radio One DJ Steve Lamacq and received rave reviews.
In 2000, Mikabomb signed as the hard-hitting new stars of Beastie Boys label Grand Royal. Once again they were off plugging their singles "Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls" and "Heart Attack". Mikabomb fuse motown, New York punk, 50's garage and Japanese pop to form their distinctive, helter-skelter, distortion-heavy pop sound and once these Japanese girls are plugged into their outrageously overdriven guitars, they are more than a match for any number of sweaty punters in the audience twice their size.
With the tragic demise of Grand Royal the album, "The Fake Fake Sound Of
Mikabomb" was released through garage legend label, Damaged Goods Records.
Through their short career they've managed to play with At The Drive in,
Snuff, Bis, The Datsuns, The D4, Ten Bensons and Rosita (ex-Kenickie) to name a few. As a support artist they are in demand by the coolest bands in the world, having recently having to decline The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
The future is bright. Mikabomb will go to the USA in 2003 (responsible for
50% of the sales of FFSMB); they're currently working on a new batch of
songs with new producers and shooting a video (by popular demand from a
plethora of music TV producers). New material will be released in spring
2003, by then you should be locking up your sons coz Mikabomb are coming.
"The best band to ever come out of Japan"-Steve Lamacq.
"Mikabomb's appeal is unintentional, but that's exactly why it's so
appealing! Bonkers lyrics, Mental Oriental!!" KKKK- Kerrang.
WARLORDS OF PEZ
Warlords of Pez... Myth
Warlords of Pez... Legends
Warlords of Pez... Zillionaire Space Rockers
As Old as Time. As Powerful as God. No, more Powerful than God. The Warlords - supercool cybernetic constructs who eat lightning and **** magic, are the handiwork of Dr. Burglestein deranged intergalactic genius.
Their Sole Purpose: the annihilation of all intelligent beings unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

a bandicoot promotion
eX-Girl are a beautiful example of information overload. Jagged 3 part vocal harmonies, adventurous arrangements, and songs that hook you like the sucker that you are. Take all of these treats, wrap it in an ultra-bright technicolor live show with surreal homemade costumes, and you've got the sensation of being strapped in on an out-of-control carnival ride that will leave you standing in line waiting for another turn.
April, 2001 MIKE PATTON-
"eX-Girl is an all-girl Japanese music trio who play this great mixture of Casio-Techno-Pop-O-Punk and sing in different vocal styles (from shrieking Punk Diva banshee, to cute girl, to almost operatic vocals) with strange harmonies."
-Creepy Mike's Clown Club
When eX-Girl formed in late 1997 none of the band members had any previous musical experience. Despite their inexperience the band began playing out regularly. They soon released their first album, "Heppoco Pou", which was produced by Hoppy Kamiyama (touted as the Japanese Eno) in June 1998 on a Japanese indie label.. The album was instantly embraced by San Francisco college radio station KUSF where it went into heavy rotation.
Compelling and captivating, eX-Girl can easily be ranked along side musical innovators such as Diamanda Galas, Zappa, B-52's, Nina Hagen, Devo, Talking Heads and Laurie Anderson. The music as well as the live shows conjure up these comparisons. On stage the band incorporate performance-art aesthetics with wild costumes and intense energy. Donnin enormous rubber wigs, frog-head masks and custom designed flower-power 2002, dresses, the band is instantly captivating. Their searing vocal harmonies and quirky choral chants combined with the unusual music they play truly gives the audience the feeling they are observing something quite other worldly. And as far as the band is concerned, they are too...
By August of 1998 the band had toured in both Japan and in the US. Press and radio rushed to share their discovery of the band with their audiences. The band is also happily supported by fellow artists such as Buckethead, Percy Jones, Regurgitator, Oxbow, Olivia Tremor Control, Gong, Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus, Love and Rockets (who want to remix an eX-Girl song to appear on an upcoming release), Gary Lucas (ex-Captain Beefheart) and Craig Flanagan of God Is My Co-Pilot. In essence, eX-Girl have already obtained cult status both in the U.S. and in Japan.
In March of 1999 the band released their second album, "Kero! Kero! Kero!" This album also went into heavy rotation on KUSF charting at No. 1 for three weeks in a row!! As the band hit the road again touring the U.S. they managed to draw 300 people to the Cocodrie in San Francisco as opposed to the 30 people they played to on their previous visit to the city. They also hit SXSW as part of the Japan Night showcase where they played to a crowd of over 600 people! As the band's set ended the merchandise booth was flooded with fans old and new. By the end of the night the booth had sold out of every last piece of eX-Girl merchandise available.
On the same tour several Virgin Mega Store and Tower Records sales managers took to the album, promoting it largely at retail. In fact, the Tower Records Manhattan buyer was so taken by the band that he created an eX-Girl display and added them to the listening station. Comedy Central offered them a spot on an upcoming show and countless New Yorkers who'd been introduced to the band at SXSW showed up to support them again in The Big Apple. Surely a warm welcome from a city notorious for its indifference.
Their third album is out now, "Big When Far, Small When Close". his latest effort was also produced by Hoppy Kamiyama and is an a-cappella work. It is out on Kirilo's own label, KIKI Poo Records. Like the other two releases, the album blends a smorgasbord of elements including choral chants, operatic harmonies, comical cartoon singing, Indian tom-tom style drumming and banshee shrieks - but to truly understand the music you will have to listen for yourself.
On release of their debut album thru PoKo Rekords and Guided Missile Recordings, they toured Europe in July 2000 with Fantomas, which is organized by Mike Patton (former Faith No More frontman) ! They toured Finland from October 26 to November 2.2000.
Their new album "Back to the Mono Kero"is out now in USA(Ipecac Recordings), in JAPAN (HiBOOM/prime direction) and in Benelux (62 TV Records). In June and July of 2001, the band toured Europe and was invited to some festivals, which are Roskilde Festival (Denmark), Rock For People Festival (Czech Republic) and Dour Festival (Belgium). They knocked out the thousands of audience in the festivals and brought them over to the Kero Kero world with their transcendent performance.
In the fall of 2001, CHIHIRO left the band and KEIKO (the guitarist from Super Junky Monkey) joined eX-Girl as an official member. Welcoming KEIKO,who brought the hyper-kero elements to the band, eX-Girl then set out to tour Europe again in February-March taking in countries such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France, Holland and UK. On the UK leg of this tour eX-Girl opened for TOMAHAWK which is Mike Patton's project.
In April 2002, their album "Back to the Mono Kero" was released in Finland by Levy-yhtio RECORDS. On the release of this album, they toured Finland in April 2002. After this tour, they flew to US, and opened for"SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES".eX-Girl was very well received by their audience.
In July 2002, eX-girl were invited by "SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES" as their opening act for UK tour. After these shows, eX-Girl had their own tour in UK and Scandinavia, including some festivals.
In August 2002, Their album "Back to the Mono Kero" was released in Australia by VALVE RECORDS.
In November 2002, eX-Girl's single CD " Luna Rose" was released by Avex Rhythm Republic in japan.
In January 2003, Fuzuki left the band and CHAPPLE the new drummer joined eX-Girl as an official member. Now eX-Girl become hyper*powerful*Kero* entertainment*Rock!!!

MULL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Having just released a brand new single, 'The Final Arrears', followed by the eagerly-anticipated new album, 'Us' on Feb 28th!, Mull (aka Colin McIntyre) is playing a series of tour dates with full band
You might have last seen the DIY musical obsessive, McIntyre, as the greyhound racetrack hare in the video for the exhilarating anthem that was 'Watching Xanadau' from his debut album, 'Loss', the lo-fi indie-pop on a grand scale, which reaped critical acclaim by the bucketload, earned Mull a support slot on The Strokes tour, and McIntyre a reputation as one of *the* finds of the last few years.

Volta Sounds Tour 2003 feat. Leagues O’Toole (DJ set)
Volta Sounds a recording label founded by music writer and No Disco presenter Leagues O’Toole and David O’Grady. Volta Sounds isn’t based on any long-winded manifestos. Our motives are simply to help record and release music by artists of no specific genre of music who we really believe in. Volta Sounds relies on home-cookin’ over swanky restaurants, open-fires over central heating and goodwill over bad cheques.
The Sounds:
Jape: Jape is the new solo project of Richie Egan, bassist with the magnificent Redneck Manifesto and the David Kitt band. Employing a very diverse range of styles, Richie leaps back and forth from raw acoustic pop songs to catchy electronics, hip-hop, Stereolab-style groovers and vocoder jams in a dreamy, spacey pop album called Cosmosphere, due for release in April.
Messiah J & the Expert: Formerly known as Creative Controle, Messiah J & the Expert are an emcee and producer hip-hop duo.
Goodtime John: Goodtime John released his debut album Brought Four Ways Out of Town in 2002. Tapping into Americana roots music as well as classic pop songwriting, GTJ lays a lovely lilting voice over rich instrumentation.

Gráda
In the space of 18 months, Gráda have risen to become one of the leading traditional groups in Ireland. Their claims have been supported not only by their youthful, energetic live performances, but also by their stunning new CD, Endeavour, described by The Irish Times as “an eye-popping debut”. The CD was produced by musical genius Trevor Hutchinson (of the Waterboys, Sharon Shannon, and Lunasa). It features a mix of revitalised traditional tunes and self-penned tracks. Gráda boasts a top line-up of musicians, including Alan Doherty, lead soloist in the award winning Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
__“This is a band with star quality…The hottest new traditional band around" - Event Guide
"Simply Spectacular. A Fresh Wind, Jazzy Tones" - Zeitung (Germany) “Multicultural backgrounds help bring a fresh approach to playing and present a unique slant on traditional music.” - Irish Music Magazine

Saturday 12th April
WOODSTAR
Formed in the summer of 2000, by the collective union of mind and sound, a five piece band whose influences are wide and varied from Dylan & Bowie to Smog & Red House Painters. woodstar believe the song is bigger than both its parts and its players. woodstar attempt to turn pain into beauty by means of music, one of the few ways in which such a glorious transformation can occur.
The results were a revelation to the band, without even trying, they had found a sound, one which was not contrived or forced but real and natural. On October the 6th 2000, woodstar played "These Scars" correctly for the first time. It was a great moment.
“Woodstar have broken free from the obvious comparisons to craft a rather thrilling sound of their own. Dense waves of guitars and keyboards crash on a rock-solid shoreline, making for an exhilarating splash of noise” – Irish Times

Friday 2nd May
SMOG
_
An under-recognized pioneer of the lo-fi revolution, Smog was essentially the alias of one Bill Callahan, an enigmatic singer/songwriter whose odd, fractured music neatly epitomized the tenets and excesses of the home-recording boom.
Melancholy, poignant and self-obsessed, Callahan's four-track output offered a peepshow view into an insular world of alienation and inner turmoil, his painfully intimate songs ping-ponging wildly through a scrapbook of childhood recollections, failed relationships, bizarre fetishes and dashed hopes. A full-length album, Forgotten Foundation, paved the way for 1993's acclaimed Julius Caesar, recorded with musicians Cynthia Dall and Jim O'Rourke. The prolific Smog has since released 1994's Burning Kingdom EP, 1995's Wild Love, the 1996 EP Kicking a Couple Around and the sparse album The Doctor Came at Dawn.
With a sound highlighted by Callahan's deep voice, acoustic guitar, tape loops, keyboards, cello and other string instruments, Smog's unique aesthetic has earned Callahan a devoted following that includes indie rock guru Lou Barlow.

YO LA TENGO
Summer Sun is yet another gem of a record from one of America’s greatest bands which will see them building on an already established reputation reaching the peak of their musicianship and talent.
It was January 2000 and the tenth album by Yo La Tengo And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out was unleashed to the world. The world heard it, loved it and fell in love with the band who had made it. Their music would dart between blindingly exquisite pop songs, blisteringly intense wall-of-noise feed-back and good old fashioned punk rock. The band started out with Ira Kaplan (guitars, singing) and his wife Georgia Hubley (Drums, singing) and various other musicians, until James McNew joined their ranks (bass, singing). Live you would see them swap around their instruments, with Ira sometimes shedding the guitar to slam the organ, or Georgia leaving the drums and fiddling with a drum machine, or James putting down his bass and taking up extra percussion.
With Summer Sun the band are continuing the melodic directions that defined much of their last album, with sixties pop tunes, Hawaiian guitars and swooping, textured melodies to create an upbeat and beautiful collage. What remains is a wonderful pop record to be treasured and savoured.
"decades from now, kids will still be hunting down the Yo La Tengo back catalogue and trying to imagine how great they must have been live." The Guardian
“A beautiful, fragile record that demands your full attention, then pays back dividends” Mojo

The Apes + Party Of Helicopters
The Lobby Bar
Sat 17th May
Afternoon Show
All Ages Gig
Doors 3pm
Adm E5 b4 3.30pm/E6 with flyer/E7 otherwise
The Apes emerged from the wet, heavy jungle of Washington DC in 1999 to command the rock subculture. Their modus: uniting great warlords, absorbing rogue factions, and educating red-handed guerilla bands with a passionately wayward rock signal.
Propelled by Erick Jackson's burning, fur-lined bass growls, Amanda Kleinman's horny and celestial banshee organ, and Jeff Schmid's iron-chest-of-cocaine drums, throat chieftain Paul Weil channels the kaleidoscopic eye and children's black tears into the hearts of all. This overdriven rock assault drives forward as tales of conquest, social alienation, and a perverse spiritual kinship with the universe become trance-inducing incantations. Great armies of spectators prostrate themselves; the overcrowded brains of headphone astronauts are penetrated. Ultimately, a shared enthusiasm for the new aesthetic treasures of Ape magic and sound fury overtakes all.
Alternative Press March 2002 "100 Bands You Need to Know in '02" "http://www.alternativepress.com"
"Listening to Fugue in the Fog is like jumping into a mud puddle head first -- grimy, messy, and completely invigorating....innovative and creepy....It's not everyday that a heavy rock outfit trade a lead guitar for an organ, but somehow the Apes make the switch work -- the organ makes their music all the more sinister. They may not have much variation or scope, but hey, if it ain't broke....Let's just say that if the Addams Family ever threw a party and needed to hire a band, they'd call the Apes."
Magnet Sept-Oct 2001
"...These Apes don't care about ruling the planet, just your eardrums. Hailing from DC, the Apes flaunt the influence of bands like Nation of Ulysses, Circus Lupus, and GWAR by pummeling audiences with their explosive live shows. The brunt of their force is vocalist Paul Weil, whose mastery of guttural chants would make any microphone run for cover. Coupled with thick Moog arrangements that coalesce in thick, trebly noise blasts and thundering bass boosts, this band aims to conquer....Easy listening this is not, but the only true way to experience the Apes is to witness their live show."0 -

Calexico ‘Feast Of Wire’
Cork Opera House
Saturday 12th July @ 8pm
Calexico return with their most accomplished album to date, an ambitious and vibrant clash of musical styles that is as unforgettable as it is innovative
Calexico is a little town sitting (believe it or not) directly on the California-Mexico border. Back in the good old days, before the border was lined with machine gun, toting guards and man eating dogs, the tiny towns of Calexico and Mexical actually overlapped one another and you could stroll down the main street and have a burrito and cerveza with your neighbours without having to show your passport and get strip-searched.
John Covertino and Joey Burns, rhythm section of Giant Sand, and members of OP8 and the lounge-y Friends of Dean Martinez have formed yet another band whose name perfectly exemplifies the type of music it makes. Calexico takes you on a musical journey through the southwestern U.S. and south of the border. This is music you won’t hear in San Diego, but you will if you travel a few miles south, to Tijuana and beyond. Calexico decided to combine the southwestern feel of the Sonoran desert with their old world, spaghetti western arrangements.
Date: Saturday 12th July
Doors: 9pm
Venue: Cork Opera House, Cork
Tickets: €20, €22
Booking: 021 – 427 00 22
(Tickets available in advance from the Cork Opera House)
