Ulrich Schnauss, Button Factory, May 2nd

A gig not to be missed. The (presumably) German electronica maestro Ulrich (or Uli as he is known to his friends) Schnauss is coming to our shores. This is not to be missed by anybody who remembers the warm fuzzy feeling experienced when listening to his early albums Far Away Trains Passing By and A Strangely Isolated Place. After these two majestic wavy efforts 6 years passed until Uli came back with the ominously (for those who wish he would produce in perpetuity) titled 2007 release Goodbye, an album that does justice to and consolidates his earlier achievements. If this is indeed the end of Uli, be sure to be part of what should be an amazing night for Irish electronica fans, with Chequerboard supporting Uli. Just check out the Chequerboard myspace to see for yourself. It bodes well for our nation that we are capable of producing things of such beauty.

  1. In the first of what pundits are predicting to be 'a veritable onslaught' of mutual-backslapping, Eoin would like to say a big 'Good Post, Fergal. Well Done.'

  3. Unfortunately I let myself down by conking out before Chequerboard came on Dineen's show last night. So I have no idea how it went down. Todayfm now podcasts archived Dineen shows so you can listen here:
