Niall James Holohan and his [...]

Review: Created By Comets EP

Impressed with their live performance at the State vs Goldenplec gig, I decided to check out Created By Comets new EP with hopes of at least hearing something promising for the future. The EP consists of four tracks, all of which were played on the night. I was especially looking forward to the quality of [...]

Review: Rush at the O2

Rush @ The O2 Thurs 12th May Review: David Quinn Photos: Natalie Byrne As I stood on the Luas on my way to the O2, I received word that there would be no support act.

Rakim @ The Button Factory

Rakim @ The Button Factory Fri 6th May 2011 I was quite miffed at my current predicament; having a spare FREE ticket to see one of the pioneers of Hip-Hop and being completely unable to shift it. Eventually I relented and arrived a lonely figure for Rakim at the Button Factory. Once of the hip-hop [...]

Review: Funeral Suits @ Academy 2

Funeral Suits @ Academy 2 Fri 29th April The sun had disappeared for the first time in four days which ironically was also the first time I had stepped outside to enjoy it based on a stupidly busy week. And to top it all off, I had a bandaged ankle from a sporting injury which [...]

Dublin Clubbing Guide: Octopussy presents SAVE THE RAVE

Octopussy presents SAVE THE RAVE @ The Academy, Thursday 4th November Okay, okay. I can completely admit my hypocrisy last week. I built up everyone’s expectations for a quality night of electro madness, only to be ultimately disappointed myself.

Review: Digitalism at The Academy

This year’s Halloween has been particularly frustrating for me, not just caused by the general annoyance that is the holiday falling on a Sunday.
