ALPHA MALE TEA PARTY

plus Cork post-metallers
EALADHA

Wednesday July 29th - 9pm

Fred Zeppelin's, Parliament St - €5

'Droids' album stream: http://superstardestroyer.co.uk/album/droids

Alpha Male Tea Party are a band from Liverpool, but spiritually, they're a band from just outside of Liverpool. Playing hard-hitting math-inflected hyphenated-genre experimental rock, they take themselves exactly as seriously as they deserve, and they've been musically compared variously to bands like Brontide and And So I Watch You From Afar.

Since self-releasing their debut album AMTP in 2012 they've played with most of their heroes, toured the UK with the likes of Axes, Cleft and Vasquez and released the "additive-induced technicolour rampage" (Metal Hammer) Real Ale and Model Rail: The Lonely Man's Guide to Not Committing Suicide EP on Superstar Destroyer Records. Their second album, Droids is out now.

"tear-jerkingly beautiful... furious, and all in all, it's pure, 18-carat fun. Fun is never a bad thing, right?" - 8/10: Rocksound

"Describing Alpha Male Tea Party is something of a challenge, so let's settle on 'predominantly instrumental, utterly exhilarating heavy rock.'" - Total Guitar

"For all the techy terms there’s nothing clinical about their sound – they’re belting hell out of their instruments" - Metal Hammer

"their rewardingly complex racket jumps from awe-inspiring metallic proficiency to jagged post-punk gnarl; from brain-crushing heaviosity to wordless, jaw-to-the-floor anthems." - 4/5: The Skinny

"Here's a band that would surely never join any party that would have them as members... A scouse Mars Volta? Why, we wouldn't dare try to categorize them in such simplistic terms." - Prog Magazine

"it doesn’t get any better than this." - Musical Mathematics

"Sounding like At The Drive-In during a sugar rush, AMTP’s songs all hold a sense of delirious joy in the chaos being created... The jerky math-rock riffs are enjoyable, but it’s the combination of this chaos with moments of sheer bliss that bring depth and richness to the mix." - Now Then

"This is an easy recommendation to make; you need Alpha Male Tea Party’s Droids in your life. This a wonderfully unique and riff-laden record that is loaded with catchy melodies." - 9/10: UKScumScene

"The band specialize in frantic, complex tunes that change more times than is healthy and keep you guessing what is coming next." - 7/10: Powerplay Magazine

"‘Droids’ is one gut-busting plat de resistance; a near-perfect, and balanced, serving of the post-rock food pyramid." - 4.5/5: Already Heard

"upbeat and life affirming... the riffs are superb; you can feel the emotion and passion that goes into each one." - 9/10: Alt Dialogue

"Bang! Hark! There’s hammering, second degree burns and confetti, lots of confetti! Is this the rapture before me?! Probably!" - Fecking Bahamas

"darker elements represent the frustration of being a ‘droid’ and being part of mundane everyday activities. But overall it's a really powerful and uplifting record, going against that idea and celebrating ambition and wanting to be apart of something bigger." - 4.5/5: No Brainer

"odd yet impossibly catchy... this is a beast of an album. The interaction of the three members is a joy to behold." - Monster Sound Collective

"Blazing through their new album Droids, Alpha Male Tea Party prove themselves a tri-force of prog-riffing bastards." - One Beat

"I just love these guys. I love them. They make everything better. Whatever ails you, you can guarantee they'll blast it out of your head at twelvety bajillion miles an hour." - The General

"Packed with riffs, hooks and a degree of fun which is rarely expressed so sincerely, Droids hits hard and leaves a smile on your face." - 4/5: Bearded Gentlemen

"With Droids Alpha Male Tea Party have combined lightning quick, bone crunching riffs, exhilarating outro’s and atmospheric chords. After each listen there is another layer to discover" - Sloucher

"I was lucky enough to get my hands on said-album a couple of weeks back, and every moment I’ve spent since then listening to anything else has felt like a genuine waste of my dwindling capacity to hear." - Already Heard, 5 Must Hear in June

ORDER OF THE MESS

Order of the Mess is a stoner/power Duo born in Cork, Ireland in the summer of 2013. Coming from different musical experiences, they started to play together, looking for other band mates to create a new band. They tried and played with many people, but the real fun was when they were on their own. Pure energy, heavy riffing, loop station and killing drums. There was no need to find other band mates. The band was already there.

After writing their first songs, Order of the Mess started to spread the voice within the Cork scene and on May 1st 2014, they were invited to open the show for well-known Corkonians Hope is Noise at the Pav.

After their first show, they started to get involved in the Cork music scene and, gig by gig, the energy of their live shows has intensified, creating a unique experience for them and for their audience. They're now working on their first album release, and performing new live shows in the meantime.

STUCK ON REPEAT

Loop-pedal, multi-tracking and musical meanderings from Cork Ireland. Recently featured on the Irish Examiner's website and a growing presence on Cork's live scene.

CAMDEN LIVE presents

CAMDEN PALACE HOTEL HALLOWEEN BALL 2015

THE GRUNTS (Cork garage rock)
UNDERBITE (Cork desert rock)
BONE CHINA (Cork alternative)
with DJ set by MK2

Camden Palace Hotel Community Arts Centre, Camden Quay
Saturday October 31st, 8.30pm til the witching hour - FANCY DRESS
€5 in, €4 with Room101 Gigaholic card/flyer

Devilish delights, savage young screamers, rambunctious rock and mutant music await those daring enough to enter the haunted house on the quays for the Camden Hallowe'en Ball! Don your costumes and get set to go to the Twilight Zone with ghoulish garage-rockers The Grunts, demented desert-rockers Underbite, bone-chillers Bone China, and tremendous tunes from delirious disc-jocks MK2 to take you through to the midnight hour!

THE GRUNTS:

The Grunts are a three piece indie band from Cork Ireland, their sound evokes the raw earthy innocence of early REM, Echo and the Bunnymen. 'Party Weirdo' is punk done medium rare, and there's punch and pungency in 'Crawl Right Back' and 'New York Smile'. 'Every Strange Trip' has jangly echoes of The Byrds, a floating psychedelic subtlety pervades 'Cruelest Touch', especially Liam O'Shea's vocals, and the Echo-like 'Summer Must Break' coasts along with a modest swagger.

UNDERBITE:

Underbite began in early/mid 2014 under the moniker of Tu Me Manques. Alas, growing tired of that name, they decided to instead reform the band, refining their sound and changing the name to Underbite

Underbite was initially started by drummer, Joe Clarke, and vocalist, Matt Corrigan, later picking up Neil O' Sullivan Greene on guitar. The trio now sport a bass, a guitar and drums, and strive to attempt the biggest, broadest possible sound with so few members.

BONE CHINA:

Alternative rock band from Cork, Ireland, featuring a blend of rock/jazz/metal and most other genres you can think of. FFO: Coheed & Cambria, letlive., Mastodon, Prize Fighter Inferno, Deftones.

Luchador Gigs Presents:

BETUNIZER (Spanish noise)
HANDS UP WHO WANTS TO DIE (noise/harsh sounds)
EL BASTARDO (Cork buckie-noise)

FRED ZEPPELIN'S, PARLIAMENT ST.
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 26TH @ 9PM
€5/€4 with flyer or Gigaholic card

BETUNIZER:
https://betunizer.bandcamp.com/

Having toured extensively in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, the last weekend in November marks the first visit of Betunizer to Irish shores. They will be showcasing their unique brand of discordant yet bouncey noise rock around the Island with fellow Noise hoors; Hands Up Who Wants to Die.

"Those fans of contemporary modern sounds will feel at home, just as a caveman would if he mistakenly time-travelled to one of their concerts. Betunizer sound black and white at the same time. Modern and ancestral. Enjoyment, rhythms, whipping and lashing, art." - Brit Es Magazine

HANDS UP WHO WANTS TO DIE:
https://handsupwhowantstodie.bandcamp.com/

Hands Up Who Wants to Die are four furious messers who got together in late 2008 to make music that would capture the zeitgeist and inner city pressures of the crumbling society that surrounded them in the Dublin, Ireland. Their songs have been described as “off-kilter noise rock”, and as “socially aware slab punk with constant discordant meanderings”.

Hands Up have played many corners of the world touring Belarus, Lithuana, Ukraine, Holland, Germany & England. They have shared the stage with The Redneck Manifesto, Adebisi Shank, BATS, Don Vito, Marvin, Warlords Of Pez and many more.

EL BASTARDO:
http://elbastardo.bandcamp.com/album/versus-you

"After not so much a peep from the band since late 2010, the one and only EL BASTARDO, fronted by Cork stalwart Noel Lynch (KAWTICS and way too many others to list…), have just announced their return to the local gigging scene.

After earlier recordings which included a demo and split 7″ with the mighty SLOMATICS back in 2005, EL BASTARDO began recording their first album “Versus You” which after many delays and hiccups eventually found it’s way online in 2010. As to what guise the band will take shape in for this reunion/reformation, is anyone’s guess at the moment. But the band went from originally forming as a three-piece to becoming a nine (might have been ten, at one point…) headed hydra before they slipped away nearly five years ago.

Whatever the current line-up may be, it’s f**king great to hear that EL BASTARDO will be making noise again!" - Irish Metal Archive

Hey. Does anyone have any interest in going to a table quiz in aid of Cycle against Suicide next Thursday night? It's on at 8 pm in Costigans, and I'm pretty sure it's 20 quid per table of 4! It's being held by Cork City Macra, and I've been to a few of their nights before. They normally are mighty craic!
