A lovely mini-festival going on in venues around Dublin in June, brought together by Foggy Notions and Forever Presents. This promises to be a great few days. Here is the full (AFAIK) line-up:
June 12, Andrews Lane: Matmos and Si Schroeder.
June 13, Andrews Lane: Low, Atlas Sound, the Holy Roman Army
June 14, Vicar Street: Dan Deacon, Jape, White Williams, High Places
June 15, Vicar Street: Bonny Prince Billy, Baby Dee, Paul Cureri
June 16, Andrews Lane: Metronomy, Spilly Walker
Definite highlights for me include
Si Schroeder, a great Dublin act who delighted us out of our misery and stupor on Sunday afternoon at EP last year.
Low, whose last album Drums and Guns included the absolute gems Belarus, Breaker and Murderer (one of my songs of 2007, which nearly caused two of the BTBW crew to cry with drunken joy last summer on a rooftop somewhere hot).
Jape, whose new stuff is causing a stir. Floating is one which is instantly recognisable
Dan Deacon, because I keep missing his much-touted "in the crowd" live shows in Dublin.
Atlas Sound, who is soloist Bradford Cox, whose music has been described as "very nice noise-clouds" or something to that degree. He also supports Animal Collective May 19 in Tripod.
Spilly Walker. Nuff said. This blog will shamelessly plug anything David Kitt is involved in in perpetuity.
One final point: hooray for Andrews Lane!!!
