Digitalism @ The Academy, Friday 29th October This weekend is All Hallows Eve, and due to the real date being on a poxy Sunday, most of you will plan to hit the decadent Dublin dance-floors on Friday or Saturday,  all decked out in the latest ghoulish garments. While most promotions are offering the simple Fancy Dress parties complete with DJ [...]

beatyard Weekender @ The Bernard Shaw/The Twisted Pepper Wed-Sun The bank holiday is upon us, and it’s only a week or so until Halloween, which means there is a potential 2 week party frenzy on the horizon. While you continue you mull over your latest fancy dress invention you may as well wander into the many venues offering sweet bank holiday [...]

Transmission@ The Button Factory, Saturday October 16th With all the quality rock shows in Dublin recently, and with no end in sight, I have been getting my ear chewed off about the latest offerings of rock music about town. Now, I enjoy planning my next gig caper as much as the next guy, but what happened to all pre-planned mental [...]

Strangeways Here We Come, Wednesdays @ Crawdaddy First off, apologies for the delay in this weeks guide and the short notice regarding this weeks feature -the party lifestyle does catch up on one every now and then doesn’t it? Either that or I’m going ‘Murtagh’ on this whoile scene by ‘getting too old for this sh**’. This week we bring [...]

I am always weary of checking out debut albums of Irish bands, reason being there is normally no middle ground. They are either amazing or awful.

Our little post EP hiatus has clearly caused a stir amongst those die hard readers. So relax Mam. This week is a tad hectic, with Arthur taking [...]

We sent down two reviewers to Electric Picnic 2010 to try cover events proceedings for the site and since both have submitted different reviews with differing acts and experiences I’ve decided that the best thing to do is break the reviews up into each person’s experience rather than try merge their writing. So here is the weekend of our reviewer [...]

Roger Sanchez @ The Wright Venue Friday 27th August For those of you against what I am about to do, I truly understand yet feel that in this particular case, the subject matter is warranted. There is many a fan, and many a foe of the venue mentioned in this week’s Dublin Clubbing Guide, but the special guest they are [...]

If you don’t know by now, you are either too old to party or living under a rock. So keep the volume on your long wave radio at an acceptable level while you watch a muted repeat of antiques road show in your worn discoloured slippers. Pleb. Still don’t get what I’m on about?? I am quite clearly referring to [...]

MR Jones – Thursdays @ Twisted Pepper Ok, first off, everybody needs to stop harassing me on the streets with props on Goldenplec’s weekly tips on where to get your rave on, because it’s only going to get worse as the tips keep coming and I may be forced to live in fear as a hermit…. In reality we are [...]
