Karma Parking are an original reggae/rock/funk fusion band based in the republic of Ireland. With a singer from France and a drummer from Zimbabwe, Karma Parking are a melting pot of cultures and influences, the result of which is a distinctive sound, unbound to any one genre. Though they all profess a diverse range of influences, each member brings his own musical penchant to the band.
Solar Taxi
"She Dies With Beautiful Teeth" - the new EP from Solar Taxi sounds like a band that have landed on their feet. From the catchy opening electro pop of "The Fool" to the soulful acoustic "White Lights" , this diverse EP takes the listener on a journey that's very different to anything that's in Ireland at the moment. Their influences range from Goldfrapp, The Knife to 70's guitar bands such as Led Zeppelin. Lyrically the material takes on some heavier subject matter too, "the process & resolve of grief is something that's running through the EP, even the artwork, our personal experiences the last two years have really made us want to make these songs count"
Fighting Spiders
Fighting Spiders were hatched in early '08 when members from previous band such as ilya k, Dae kim, and Ashley Sheehan & The Mute decided to collaborate. Conceived originally as a studio experiment, it wasn't long before the band decided to take their results to the stage. Early gigs took place along side the likes of Jape, Robotnik and Oppenheimer. Due to the instant positive feedback it gave the band all the ammo and information they needed to complete the infectious debut.
Campain LK
The project 'Campaign' began back in 2008 in Limerick City when producer Soss, guitarist and drummer Davey Hatchet, rapper Weenz and guitarist and singer Brian O'Brian started writing music and recording together. Brian and Dave had been in a rock band together 10 years previous and were old friends. Soss had been producing beats for Weenz for around the same period, and the fusion of the group's contrasting backgrounds quickly produced some very interesting results.
Chimpanbee
Having finished a successful mini tour between Cork and Dublin promoting their taster single "Sixties Man", Chimpanbee have now settled back into Ruby Studios to resume recording their Album "Can't Stop or Rewind". The successful release of their single "Sixties Man" has already propelled this young, tag-teaming foursome swiftly into the limelight, earning them such acholades as "Club traffik�s hot tip for 2011".
Trouser Snake
Trousersnake is a backlash against the bland, cookie-cutter alt-rock scene of the modern day; pumping vintage, thuggish sleaze rock back into the polluted airwaves. Since their conception in August 2008, the 'Snake have shared the stage with hard rock veterans such as original axe-grinder of Whitesnake, Bernie Marsden, as well as Pat McManus of the Mama's Boys, not to mention renowned contemporary acts including Jaded Sun and Stillroom.
The Great Ocean Divide
The Great Ocean Divide will perfom at the Tra Fest Music Festival. Just three guys with lots of spare time on their hands making noise. More info soon!

Summer arrives in Tramore
Samhraidh (of summer)
‘Samhraidh (of summer)’ is a collection of artwork by four artists based in the South East which runs for the month of June at the Tramore Coastguard Cultural Centre
Summer is a time freedom of spirit and fullness of being. Each artist references memories in their practice, drawing on personal experiences that are unique yet somehow familiar and accessible.
Niall Bracken studied at NCAD and Dun Loaghaire IT, and is an established portrait painter. His current work veers towards abstract - catching the fleeting, changing patterns in nature. Niall moved to Waterford in 1998.
Kathleen Delaney has a BA in Fine Art and an MA in Arts & Heritage Management. This recent body of work combines both areas of study as she derives inspiration from a series of photographs taken at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Milia Tsaoussis-Maddock spent her childhood summers exploring the Mediterranean shoreline. Her latest work is inspired by Waterford’s rocky coast. Colour, forms and rhythm convey movement and mystery. Milia attended art academies in New York and Philadelphia.
Chris O’Brien Shanahan’s latest work explores colour and pattern in natural landscapes. The imagery is imbued with themes of renewal and decay. Chris holds an MA in Art & Heritage Management and N. Dip in Fine Art.
The exhibition will be opened by Kilkenny artist Paul Mosse on Saturday 2nd June, with music by ambient producer miXile.
The artists will be available to talk about their work at weekends and by appointment for groups during the week - contact the Centre at 051 391656.
‘Samhraidh’ runs from June 2nd to 27th, admission is free.
Opening hours: 10.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and 12am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
