Review: And So I Watch You From Afar – Gangs
In case you’ve been living in a very well soundproofed rock for the past few years, And So I Watch You From Afar are an instrumental band from Belfast. Ask anybody who has seen them live what they think and one word will pop up time and time again: loud. I think I should state [...]

Review of Fiach at Whelans on January 27th 2012 Review & Photos: Abraham Tarrush Tonight’s headliner at Whelans comes in the form of Fiach Moriarty, better known by his stage name Fiach.

Review: Saw Doctors at The Olympia Theatre
Review at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin on January 28th 2012 Review: James Hendicott Photos: Kieran Frost Tonight’s support act, The 123Fours, are a comedy punk band, so we’re told. Disappointingly, it turns out what that really means is comedians (namely Dermot Whelan, Colin Murphy, John Colleary and Jackie Hamilton) playing almost-punk: there’s very little funny about [...]

Review at Tripod, Dublin on January 25th 2012 Reviewer: Sean Noone Photographer: Alessio Michelini It’s just before 9.15 and a packed Tripod is getting excited as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah take to the stage. It’s already pushing the maximum bearable temperature and soon it’s going to be kicked up another notch (though, thankfully, the [...]
Review: Pugwash – The Olympus Sound.
Pugwash, fronted by Thomas Walsh of Duckworth Lewis Method fame, have recently found themselves in the spotlight as a result of their album ‘The Olympus Sound‘ being nominated for the Meteor Choice Music Prize, and rightly so. Although in my opinion unlikely to win the coveted prize, it is certainly worthy of nomination and is [...]
Review: Jape – Ocean of Frequency
Richie Egan has been an ever-present on the Irish music scene for many years now. Whether it’s with Redneck Manifesto, Jape – who we have here – or an inestimable amount of other acts he has played with, it is hard to see how he has had a moment to rest in the last decade [...]

Pops latest hottest ticket, One Direction were in town to a legion of screaming girls following their every move. Such is the life of these five young lads who just a year ago were stepping out of X Factor brimming with pop potential. Tonight they played a fully seated gig in The O2, Dublin where [...]
