Review: The Jon Cohen Experimental – Behold
The Jon Cohen Experimental are back with the difficult second album. Well I say difficult but it sounds more like Jon & Co. knocked this LP out over a long weekend with a smile on their face. It sounds very natural, which is exactly what we’ve gotten used to from the Canadian band. Behold is [...]
Review: Rodrigo y Gabriela – Area 52
Review: Ros Madigan Rodrigo y Gabriela are back once more with their 5th studio album to date. Area 52 is an altogether different venture than before for the dynamic virtuoso duo. Area 52 sees Mr.Sanchez and Ms.Quintero team up with a 13-piece Cuban orchestra called C.U.B.A. For anyone that has followed the pair over the [...]

Review: CW Stoneking and His Primitive Horn Orchestra at The Button factory
Review at The Button Factory on January 28th It is almost exactly a year ago to the night that CW Stoneking, ‘Composer of blues, hokum, and Jungle music’ brought his particular brand of blues to a sold out Workman’s Club in Dublin. This time around Stoneking and His Primitive Horn Orchestra have been promoted to [...]
Review: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at Tripod
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: 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 [...]
Review: Never Shout Never at The Academy
As far as hype goes, Christofer Drew and his newly-added Missouri youngsters ‘Never Shout Never’ are fast edging towards pop’s new ‘most likely’. The 20-year-old comes across as a savvy operator: his rise has been cunningly assisted by free download hook-ups with fellow hyped-popsters The Maine, as well as rapid progress on MySpace and YouTube. [...]
Review: Kantor Tzar Kollectif – Absent EP
With an eye-catching name as Kantor Tzar Kollectif, you could be forgiven for thinking it will possibly be soviet propaganda you’ll be hearing. I was hoping that ‘Absent’ would be as memorable as the band title. It didn’t disappoint. The EP itself can be broken down into two categories; the unrelenting indie disco of opener [...]
Review: Mojo GoGo – Trigger (Single)
A band with which big things are expected of in 2012, Mojo GoGo are currently hoping to live up to that ominous title of ‘Next Big Thing’. Any band who can boast support slots with the likes of Ash and Horslips must be worthy of some of this hype, and their single ‘Trigger’ (available for [...]
Review: The Ultimate Garth Brooks Experience at Vicar Street
In 1997 I was a mere twelve year old. I wasn’t really old enough to go to a gig, and that year there was a series of gigs in Croke Park which as far as I am aware was his last appearance in Dublin. I count myself as a fan of Garth’s back catalogue and [...]
