And to think that some people are still deluded enough to believe that U2 are Ireland’s premier live band. I don’t know if it’s sheer media saturation that’s perpetuated that myth, or just widespread ignorance, but it needs to be stamped out post-haste. Bono can take his impossibly huge stage monstrosities and stick them where the [...]

The Dead Milkmen, a Philadelphia quartet known for their quirky underground hit singles such as “Punk Rock Girl,” “Dean’s Dream,” and “Stuart,” spent years making an art form out of not taking things too seriously during their late 80’s heyday. Twenty years later, the world hasn’t forgotten them. There could have been little more proof [...]

Oh yes it’s ladies night And the feeling’s right Oh yes it’s ladies night Oh what a night - Kool & The Gang Rock n’ roll is a wonderful, chaotic beast. Borne of a decadent tryst between blues and boogie, it’s grown from its simple, Chuck Berry beginnings into a many-tendriled monster, sprouting new bands and sub-genres from every possible [...]

We’re three songs into Ham Sandwich’s set in Whelan’s, and the entire crowd is already covered in confetti and there are maybe ten beach ball-sized balloons being batted between audience and band. Everyone in the venue is either grinning madly or openly laughing. Ham Sandwich are clearly here to have some fun. But wait: like a [...]

It was a sweet day when we decided to go in Barcelona to see the Australian living legends. So, along with game master Tibi Puiu, a few friends and a handful of whisky and tequila bottles we head out for Spain’s cultural capital. We tried to visit as much as possible there, so we missed [...]

You know how some people can just walk into a room, and instantly take control of it? All eyes will shift to them, all attention will be focused squarely on them, the entire congregation will hang on their every word. Think Penny Lane from Cameron Crowe’s wonderful Almost Famous - when she walks into Stillwater’s [...]

I look back on the weekend and laugh after road tripping down to ISU because I’m worn out and sleep deprived from the insane partying. Geez I need to get my priorities straight…j/k! I wandered over to the Ohtis SXSW Homecoming show w/ Takka Takka, Tune-yards and Sister Suvi thursday night [...]

This was a slightly different affair to the usual Karmadillo gig that fans from their hometown are used to; comedic front man Rishi had promised a complete set of brand new songs on the run up to this and as a result The Baker’s was rammed with people wanting to be the first to hear [...]
