    ^ Heartfelt thanks for the show last night in Dundalk. It was really incredible. My first trip to an LCMS gig but it certainly wont be the last.


    I'm half thinking of driving to Galway to see Kronos again tonight especiallly as they're playing a different programme.

    Thanks for coming.
    It was a really special and very unique event. I just thought the whole thing was amazing: the sound, the staging, the lights and movement. It was great

    Was at the Galway concert tonight, a fantastic show. Didn't really know what to expect but I liked what I heard. A very nice mixture of (mostly) contemporary and world music. The world music was suitably exotic and the contemporary stuff was very listenable and accessible. Top notch stuff. The range of sounds they got from 4 string instruments was really amazing :)

    GROUPER
    http://www.myspace.com/grouperrepuorg
    http://typerecords.com/releases/dragging-a-dead-deer-up-a-hill

    Portland, Oregon based Liz Harris might have achieved a significant fan base thanks to the whispering, near ambient vocal crusades of her debut album ‘Way Their Crept’ and its follow-up ‘Wide’, but those with a careful ear would have heard slightly more trapped beneath her fuzzy chain of effects. ‘Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill’ marks a departure of sorts for Liz which sees her turn down the fuzz-boxes which caged (and to some degree defined) her sound and allows her voice to ring out above everything else. It is an album steeped in the world of dream-pop, a genre pioneered by the likes of 4AD’s Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil, and far from shy away from the reference Liz has instead grabbed on with both hands, in the process creating an album’s worth of perfect, leftfield pop songs.


    JOHN WIESE
    http://www.john-wiese.com/

    John Wiese is an artist and composer from Los Angeles, California. His ongoing projects include LHD and Sissy Spacek, with plenty of freelance work with many artists as diverse as Sunn O))), Wolf Eyes, Merzbow, Evan Parker, Smegma, Kevin Drumm, Cattle Decapitation, and C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core). He has toured extensively throughout the world, covering Europe, Scandinavia and Australia as a member of Sunn O))), the UK as part of the Free Noise tour (a tentet including Evan Parker, C. Spencer Yeh, Yellow Swans, etc.). Also a former member of Bastard Noise.

    "Out of all of the American noisemakers, California's John Wiese is among my absolute favourites. Although like many of his peers his release schedule is almost impossible to follow, with tapes, cdrs and limited vinyl coming faster than Ron Jeremy's teenage understudy, he defined the genre with the seminal 'Soft Punk'. Taking fragments of punk and hardcore records, he pieced together an album which showed why American noise differed from European noise (and Japanese noise for that matter) and to these (battered) ears remains unmatched in the genre. Since then he's been touring incessantly and anyone lucky enough to have caught him live will know what I mean when I say his sets have to be experienced in the flesh. 'Circle Snare' was recorded on his January 2008 Scandinavian tour, a tour I was lucky enough to catch at least a glimpse of, and this disc goes some way to representing the visceral experience of the shows. Taking his trademark Max/MSP concrete experimentation and throwing it up against subtle drones, the album starts quietly, but before long we're dragged kicking and screaming into deftly separated ear-pummelling noise. This isn't quite the kind of amplifier destruction you might expect from Wolf Eyes or their Mid-West set however; there is something more technical and almost more academic about Wiese's knife-like processes. On stumbling out of the Oslo venue where I witnessed this set performed, I remarked that he was the "Autechre of noise" and I'll stand by that comment. John Wiese makes noise that sounds like everything is in a specific place for a specific reason - something rare and beautiful. It might be punk, but this punk can play his instrument better than most. Startlingly good." BOOMKAT

    Fringe 2-in-1 at Project Upstairs, which runs as part of Absolut Fringe on September 17, 18, 19, 9pm.

    PREGNANT?! (45 mins) is a surreal performance lecture delivered by a pseudo-pregnant male. Described as a "magical and totally original and accessible experience" (London Artists Projects), PREGNANT?! brings its unique deadpan humour to Dublin following development work at the Battersea Arts Centre and Shunt (London).

    After a short interval, Project Arts Centre will keep the bar open and you are free to wander in and out of the second half with Origamibiro & The Joy of Box (1 hr). Electronic music meets abstract visual experiments, resulting in an explosion of double bass and ukuleles, infra-red video and origami flower shredding. "Its not just guitars and beats that find themselves looped up by the trio, but the tear of paper, the flicked corner of a book and the rip of sticky tape. And as if the plethora of sounds weren't enough, they come packed with lashings of visuals." - BBC Manchester Online

    To be included in the draw for 2 free tickets to the opening night on Thursday 17th September and a CD from Origamibiro, send the name of any two of the evening's performers to ene@toupstage.com by Monday 7th of September. See video of both shows here.

    Ballroom #92 : Dälek (Ipecac Recordings, USA) Action Beat (Southern Records) & Charles Hayward

    Dälek

    167536698_l.gif

    Dälek has rightfully gained iconic status as one of the finest alt-hip hop bands of our time. Until recently ”resolutely underground”, Dälek methodically undermines every idiotic idiom perpetuated by mainstream rap, choosing instead to blend assaultingly hypnotic rhymes with a corrosively atmospheric, electronica-inflected hard rock sensibility. Combine all this with an undeniable lyrical intelligence and absolutely no illusions about the world we live in and you’ve got a duo that effortlessly embraces genres--from hip hop to jazz, from jazz to metal, from metal to punk, from punk to noisecore, from noisecore back to hip hop. Think My Bloody Valentine + Tool + early Wu Tang combined with Massive Attack and Aphex Twin and you only begin to wrap your brain around what Dälek has unleashed with each album release, each collaboration, each remix…

    Dälek’s first release, NEGRO NECRO NEKROS (Gern Blandsten 1998) was released to overwhelming critical acclaim, artfully combining elements of Faust, the rock grit of The Velvet Underground, shoegaze-like density of Ride, and electronica beats with incisively lyrical social commentary. Dälek's second album, FROM THE FILTHY TONGUE OF GODS AND GRIOTS (Ipecac Recordings 2002) established them firmly alongside hip-hop innovators such as the Antipop Consortium and cLOUDDEAD. Come 2004, Dälek released their dense and dread-filled album ABSENCE (Ipecac Recordings 2004), which brought them their broadest critical and public attention to date. Then, in early 2007, the band released what is perhaps their greatest work: the eloquent and brooding ABANDONED LANGUAGE (Ipecac Recordings 2007). The resulting press coverage around this release speaks for itself:


    “Even when they abandon language completely, Dälek can still deliver the art-damaged goods.”
    - Alternative Press “100 Bands You Need To Know in 2007”

    “…they’ve created a hip-hop masterpiece. Atonal, dissonant and majestic, Abandoned Language…is the future---I hope.” - Under The Radar

    “…Abandoned Language still resonates caustic cultural call-outs and seismic indignation spit live rivets at a martial pace.” - URB

    “Dälek has fashioned the soundtrack for our post-millennial angst.” - Magnet

    Dälek has played and toured with bands as diverse as Dälek’s own expansive creative output, winning admiration across the spectrum: Pink Floyd, Kanye West, Pharcyde, Prince Paul, Mr. Lif, Tool, Mastodon, ISIS, Jesu, Faust, Peanut Butter Wolf, KRS-One, Grandmaster Flash, Underworld, DJ Spooky, The ****ing Champs, Bob Dylan, The Pixies, Morrissey, Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead, Kraftwerk, Rye Coalition, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Battles, Dillinger Escape Plan, Deftones, Massive Attack, The Mars Volta…the list goes on and on.


    “…instead of creating a sense of intimidation through overpowering samples and sheer brute force, they realize it through a cinematic eeriness and minimalist disquiet.”
    – Dusted

    “…an incantatory power…the social Armageddon the rapper prophesies may never happen, but the group’s caustic music conjures it with persuasive force.” – The Washington Post

    Ever prolific, Dälek is touring throughout Europe and the US in late 2007, in addition to working simultaneously on their next two albums, producing a number of fellow artists and creating remixes and cutting-edge beats upon request…with much, much more to come.

    Action Beat (UK, Southern Records)


    l_c9cd6656b5f1489b8e069a0fcd3a95b0.jpg

    Action Beat are an improv noise/no-wave band which is often made up of musicians who are available to play the gig on any particular date. They sound quite like early sonic youth, Glenn Branca, Swans and Rhys Chatham. They normally have at least 4 guitarists, a bassist and between 1 and 4 drummers.

    Charles Hayward

    l_3135483c0662e7bd82f578eaa445f7fa.jpg

    Charles Hayward is known as the pioneering drummer with This Heat
    and an ever growing list of solo concerts and cds (His most recent release ‘Abracadabra Information’ is out now on the Locus Solus label), special collaborative performances, and is in Massacre with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith.

    Committed to song ‘but the shapes have to change’, his current one-man show is an intoxicating mix of percussive attack, swirling electronics and lyrical fragment collage.

    'He sweats, there is saliva coming out of his mouth,
    and he looks ugly and beautiful at the same time and he is there.’
    [Jean-Herve Peron/Faust]

    Telepathic magic……. Hayward is
    one of the most life-affirming people who stalks this dark globe.’

    Uri Caine to perform in St.Peter’s Church of Ireland, Drogheda Friday 5 March 2010.
    “Uri Caine is a king among princes, a consummate musician who sounds great whether playing Bach, accompanying Don Byron on Puccini’s Nessun Dorma, wrangling an ambitious avant-jazz ensemble around the music of Mahler . . . . . He is prolific, hugely proficient, and ambitious.”John Walters, Guardian

    Louth Contemporary Music Society’s first concert for 2010 features a performance by the great American pianist Uri Caine in St.Peter’s Church of Ireland Drogheda on 5 March 2010 at 8pm.

    Pianist and composer Uri Caine gleefully and artfully ignores the boundaries between musical genres, mixing up Mahler and Bach with original music, swinging bebop and hard-hitting drum-and-bass. He launches LCMS 2010 concerts by performing John Zorn’s Book of Angel’s Volume 6: Moloch.

    Moloch is a remarkable set of piano solos. Some of these pieces are dark , others very beautiful. All are played superbly and imaginatively. Uri Caine is a Philadelphia-raised virtuoso, unconfined by genres. Likewise-unfettered is the music’s composer, John Zorn, from whose Book of Angels {Masada Book Two} these pieces come.

    In addition to performing solo and with his own ensemble, Caine has worked with groups, including those led by by Don Byron, Sam Rivers, Clark Terry, Arto Lindsay,John Zorn and Barry Altschul. He has also performed with the Woody Herman Band, the Enja Band, and Global Theory. Caine has appeared at many jazz festivals including the What is Jazz? Festival, the Texaco Jazz Festival (New York), the Montreal Jazz Festival, Jazz Across the Borders (Berlin), and the Newport Jazz Festival. Appearances at classical music festivals include the Salzburg Festival, the Holland Festival, and the Israel Festival. Caine is the recipient of grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

    Oh, that's damned tempting, although Drogheda is a bit of trek.

    This also should be excellent, bought my ticket today - the Ex with Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson, Wolter Wierbos and Roy Paci. Anyone know anything about Zun Zun Egui?

    €12 Doors : 10.30pm
    www.myspace.com/bigdishgomusic
    www.theunderground.ie


    Big Dish Go and Teknowarfare collaborate again to bring a line up to wet the lips of any bass n beats addict and to bring on that warm fuzzy feeling of excitement to the Irish contingent readying themselves for the now annual electronic music pilgrimage to the UK’s inspiring “Bloc weekend”. Any of the guests on the night are worthy of a headline slot; Ed Chamberlain’s music has been likened to Aphex Twin, he's been labelled "the saviour of Electro" and his tracks have been remixed and played to death by Surgeon. Not bad for someone with only a handful of releases to his name. Also we welcome back Luke’s Anger, a man who at this stage needs little introduction other than that he is undoubtedly one of the masters of heavy fun on and off the dancefloor. If that wasn’t enough, representing the phenomenal talent found on these shores, tipped for the top by Donal Dineen and doing big things in Cork with his own night “Electric Underground”, we have Kevin Blake. All three artists are playing 1 hour live shows. What a gig!


    Luke’s Anger
    (Tigerbeat / Bonus Round)

    Luke originally started out playing guitar and like many teens in the mid-nineties ended up selling it for some 1210s and began DJing. Experimented with tracker software on the Amiga, then bought an Akai sampler and made some jungle. Later rumoured to be involved with Molotov soundsystem, their music was influenced by Leicester crews Uglyfunk and BWPT.Currently records and gigs under the pseudonym 'Luke's Anger'. Under this guise he has produced and released an array of tracks spanning back to 2004.

    He performs an original Live PA using a combination of hardware and software to deliver spontaneous and dancefloor-freindly techno, once described as "wonkier than a table with three legs and grimier than an army truck!". His gigs have taken him all over Europe, the U.S and just about every dirty corner and muddy festival of the U.K. Luke also runs well-respected label - Bonus Round, focusing on releasing quirky and challenging dancefloor tracks.

    Ed Chamberlain
    (Baselogic)

    Mixing pensive melody with strong electro beats, Ed Chamberlain’s production stands apart from the rest. He remains a member of the Baselogic crew, of "Bloc Weekend" fame. Ed has been garnering for sometime now a reputation for some incredible dance floor-friendly electronic music. A slew of releases on Base Logic as well appearances on Combat and Fleeced display an ability to fuse warm, melodic synth sounds with glitched-up breakbeats ranging from hip-hop to electro without becoming too self-indulgent.

    His live sets have proved to be incredibly popular not just at large-scale events like BLOC, Glastonbury and Glade but across Europe and beyond. His name has been familiar to the techno community for sometime as his tracks have regularly featured in sets from the likes of Surgeon, Regis, James Ruskin and Ben Sims to name just a few.

    Kevin Blake
    (Electric Underground)

    Kevin Blake is an electronica producer from Limerick who moved to Cork to do a degree in music. He has always played in experimental rock bands since a very young age but an explosion of inspiration from the discovery of labels such as Warp, Rephlex and Planet Mu inspired him to start making electronic music.

    In early 2007, realising that there wasn't much of a platform in Cork for Kevin to perform his music live, he took the initiative to start up his own night called 'Electric Underground'. This focused on giving left-field dance music producers a stage to perform on, and pushed innovative djs as well. Popularity caused the night to expand to a much bigger venue and bring artists from abroad over to play. Over the last three years they have had over 70 international acts play from the finest labels in dance music today including Warp, Planet Mu, Ninjatune and Rephlex.

    He released his debut EP 'You Are What You Hear' in March 2009 which received much critical acclaim from various media sources and a distribution deal with RMG. Ireland's most well respected music reviewer Jim Caroll of the Irish Times described it as being "Smashing, You Are What You Hear is the go-to release for fresh, engaging minimal electronic grooves". Donal Dineen and Cian O'Cíobháin pushed it onto the airwaves, with Donal picking Kevin to be one of the featured Irish upcoming artists to do a live set and interview on Today Fm for the Fresh Air Festival.

    Kevin's live sets and productions led him to play gigs all around the country and have even brought him to play sets in France and the UK. He has also played at Ireland's most prestigious festivals including DEAF and the Electric Picnic. The live sets are aimed towards moving people on the dancefloor and his bass heavy sets incorporate influences such as Dubstep, Hip Hop and Techno. Not the type to hide behind a laptop, Kevin uses guitars, a melodica and various synths and fx to allow him to improvise easily. He has had the pleasure of warming up for such luminaries as Luke Vibert, Prefuse 73, Venetian Snares, Bonobo, Mu-ziq, and Boxcutter.

    Anyone ever listen to Tin Hat (used to be Tin Hat Trio)? Would like to bring them to Ireland for a show but I appear to be the only person out of my group of friends who knows them.

    Here's one that may be of some interest to folks into ambient electronic music.

    I'm posting it for a number of reasons including the fact that I'll be performing at the event to coincide with the release of my 6th album. The music I'll be performing will be based around field recordings made while travelling in South East Queensland, Australia. I can't speak for the other good folks performing but my stuff would be along the lines of Biosphere/Entia Non/early Tangerine Dream.

    I record/perform under the name miXile and would be thrilled to put a face/name on some of the good folks around here and share a coffee/beer.
