Dacianos



Dacianos is a unique band that plays its own form of unusual "pop" music and is based in Oslo, Norway. Barry Kavanagh (songwriting, vocal, harmonium, piano, guitar) formerly lived in Dublin, and an earlier version of Dacianos released two short albums in Ireland: “Mis-Showbusiness” and “Hold Music”. The compilation “In a Weird Chalet 2004-2006” was released in 2007, and the new album they're calling “the greatest album ever made” will be given away free at the show in Dublin. The band now features many characters from the complicated Norwegian music scene: Håkon Larsen (Metronomicon Audio), Anne Gunn Fossland (Lasso), Kjell-Olav Jørgensen (Salvatore/Masselys/Origami Arktika/Lasso), Anne Bang-Steinsvik (Lasso), Jonas Hestvik Dahl (120 Days/Masselys) and the performance artist Trond Arne Vangen

E+S=B



Electronic Sensoria Band, (now European Sensoria Band) was formed when
long-time Wormhole fan Fergus Cullen asked twin brothers Anthony and
David Carroll to play with him at legendary Dublin improv club
Lazybird. Ditching the guitars in favour of casio keyboards and adding
electro-drumpad player Adrienne Flynn of Memory Cells, E+S=B was born.
With releases on their own Last Of Our Kind label as well as Deserted
Village and Ninepoint records they have played and recorded with the
likes of Damo Suzuki (CAN) and Itaru Oki among others. Since then,
taking more and more inspiration from the American Free jazz scene of
the 60s, E+S=B have scaled down to a three piece line-up consisting of
Fergus on bass clarinet and guitar, Dave and Anthony on drums and bass.

Patrick Kelleher



"Dublin-based Patrick Kelleher is a 24 year-old musician hailing from Glendalough in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, although he spent much of his childhood in the English town of Rugby, hometown of Spacemen 3. Patrick has created and distributed the home-made EPs ”You Look Cold” and ”He Has To Sleep Some Time” (Virtual 7”).

His music varies from brooding, tense electronica to jaunty acoustica to 8-bit dance-floor ditties, but always with a twist of something ethereal or idiosyncratic. His songs are often premised on a mixture of live instrumentation, drum machines, cheapo voice-sampling yamaha keyboards and vocals that are, at times, heavily distorted. Some (perhaps lazy) comparisons could be made with six-foot hairy male Si Schroeder, Montréal-based floozy Owen Pallett/Final Fantasy, with distinct echoes of the beautiful and barking Kate Bush.

Kelleher has been championed by BBC Radio 6’s Stuart Maconie and Phantom FM’s Pearl and has supported Chequerboard, God Is an Astronaut and Thread Pulls with his backing-band, whose name changes from show to show. Names include The Wet Dreams,The Sick ****s and His Cold Dead Hands. He is also a band-member of the pop-drone ensemble Children Under Hoof." Analogue magazine
