Heres the blurb. im mega excited about this one. Been looking for an excuse to have this guy over and this seemed perfect.
Boddika’s arrival on the scene at the end of last year has shaken it to its very core, slamming down with a raw take on things that’s making all journalists scramble for the right genre tag. Is it electro? Techno? Old? New? Harking the expansive sounds of Luke Vibert, the analogue programming of Juan Atkins early work, and the rawness of the Drexciya/Dopplereffekt family, Boddika is the newest project of Al Green, 1/2 of the boundary-pushing duo that’s re-written the rules completely, Instra:mental.
Producing on raw analogue machines, Boddika has made some of the most exciting and dancefloor smashing sounds heard in years, with a respect full nod to electronic music of the past. The last six months has seen him unleash wave of wave of killer record relentlessly. “I’m going to keep changing direction with my sound as I have so many ideas. All I can say is expect the unexpected; I’m going to make the most of this project and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon - I have too many ideas and things I wanna get out my system.”
Support on the night will be from Teddy (Fried, Bump, Limerick) plus Rob DC & Jonesy. Prizes such as signed Bump! t-shirts by last years artists will be up for grabs as well as reduced price Bump! festival tickets.
BUMP! Muzik Festival is a two day camping event, taking place in the Landscape House & Gardens, Clonlara, Co. Clare over the weekend of July 23rd & 24th 2011, and embracing the best that Irish and International electronic music has to offer. After the runaway success that was the inaugural Bump! Festival in 2010, 2011 will be that little bit bigger - already on the Bill are techno legends Regis and Indigo Kennedy. The breaks are being taken care of by June Miller, Stray and junglist legend Equinox. Other notables on the bill are Ireland’s finest electronic export Boxcutter, hotly tipped UK producer/dj Throwing Snow, Koan Sound and Irish acid The Person. Irish techno stalwarts Rory St John, Sunil Sharpe and Fran Hartnett also feature. For more info visit http://www.bumpfestival.com/0 -

I know I plugged it a while back, but it's happening in the next few days, so I'm a gonna plug my band's gig next weekend. We're called SuckerPunch, and we're playing in DeBarras in Clonakilty on Saturday the 8th, on stage about 10:30. We're a covers band, but playing unusual stuff like Orson, Chickenfoot, Gemini 5, The Ataris, along with unussual songs from regular bands people like too. Would love to see a few boardsies at the gig. I'll be playing bass, I'm the guy on the right in the photo :

CYPRUS AVENUE
MONDAY 31st OCTOBER - 8pm 10EUR
On the 30th anniversary of the Blue Valentine tour, David Irwin and his band recreated the early years of Tom Waits' music.
During his acoustic singer/songwriter period (the ten years or so up to the 1980s before he turned to more experimental music) Tom Waits wrote a catalogue of classic mournful and wryly ironic melodies for which he is probably still best known.
This was a period that saw Waits writing songs such as Martha, Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You, Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Mathilda), Ol' 55, The Heart Of Saturday Night, The Piano Has Been Drinking, and Closing Time.
His nightclub-style performances are legendary, with a voice that has been described as sounding 'like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car.'
The well-known Limerick singer and instrumentalist David Irwin recruited a fine band of musicians to bring us his interpretations of these classic ballads, love songs and observations.0 -

Colombia: the new wave of social protest and the dirty war against the people
Documentary Screening and Discussion with Javier Orozco, Colombian Refugee and Trade Unionist. Wed. 9th Nov. 8pm, Solidarity Books, 43 Douglas St, Cork
this Wed. 9th Nov. 8pm,
Solidarity Books, 43 Douglas St, Cork
Colombia has a reputation for the human rights abuses in the middle of the ongoing social and armed conflict. Little is known about the resistance movement and popular resistance to war-mongering and to the economic and political model structurally linked to war. At the heart of this popular struggle lies the key to understand the current conflict and the persistence of human rights violations in Colombia. This year has witnessed a dramatic increase in popular struggles all over the country: students, oil workers, peasants, poor communities, indigenous groups. As a result, the dirty war waged by the system has got even dirtier. Massacres are on the raise and so are military actions all over the country.
In February 2010 a human rights delegation from Asturias visited Colombia for the sixth time to record the humanitarian crisis in the country. They were harassed by the army sand they were denied access to interview political prisoners in the infamous prison of Valledupar, La Tramacúa, where a number of political prisoners have died this year out of ill-treatment, torture and deprivation. But the managed to cover the situation in the departments of Antioquia, Caquetá, Cauca, Cesar, Putumayo, Bolívar y Cundinamarca. In all of these places, they corroborated the dramatic humanitarian situation and the systematic abuse of the military and their death squads against the population.But most importantly, they give a voice to those who day to day struggle for a just Colombia, for a new country which belongs equally to all of its offsprings. The results of the mission and many interviews were recorded in a docummentary (subtitled to English for the first time
This will be screened to open up a debate on the situation in Colombia. The coordinator of this commission, Javier Orozco, a person with a deep knowledge of the Colombian conflict and with an international reputation for his work for human rights, will present the documentary and will be available for questions and answers from the public. Javier Orozco Peñaranda (50), is an ex member of the national executive of Colombia's main trade union (CUT), ex member of the national council of peasant and indigenous organisations of Colombia, he's been a refugee in Spains since 2001 (after a death squad put a price on his head) and now he's the coordinator of the programme for temporary asylum for Colombians victims of violence in Asturias.
Admission is free

Yay, my band are gigging this weekend again in DeBarra's in Clonakilty. Saturday night (The 19th), 10:30pm. Unlike other cover bands out there that have 80% of the same set lists (You know, they all play the Killers I predict a riot, all play Sex on Fire, all play Sweet Child of Mine), we do the songs everyone rocked out to but forgot. Our remit is to play songs that other bands just aren't doing, and play them hard - we have 4 part vocal harmonies, a keyboard player from Mars, and a drummer who's done it all, chilled with the Foo Fighters backstage after gigging at the same Festival, and played at Electric Picnic a few times too.
We're called SuckerPunch, and would love to see a few whest Cork boardsies along!
