Late Night Get Go

Late Night Get Go is a new music and comedy show on RTE. The first show was filmed live in The Good Bits (formerly Radiocity) on Store Street this evening. The revamped venue is a perfect location to show off some of the country best up-and-coming live acts. We will endeavour to let you know when the next filming is taking place and free tickets can be obtained by composing a simple email...details to follow when at hand.

On the bill this evening:

Cheap Freaks














Padraig Rushe

General Fiasco















Identity Parade

Bitches With Wolves







“Late Night Get Go is all about variety, giving viewers the chance to see the hottest new acts in music and comedy in a format that is fresh, energetic and original.”

Finally

Hurrah! Channel One are finally releasing their debut album, Sound to Light, in a fortnight. The release is accompanied by a free gig in The Button Factory on Friday Nov 6th, where presumably the record will be available to buy.

We're giddy about this one - the Accelerate : Brake EP brought Irish electronic music to another level with its layers of wavey shoegaze, moody vocals and punchy beats. The new stuff sounded pretty brilliant at the DEAF fundraiser gig last month too; this could be one of the better Irish records this year.

Nosaj Thing - Fog.

I can't get over this track. Dineen has been championing this chap lately, the album "Drift" is one of the finest I've heard this yea, varying from the beatifully airy to the downright grimy. A exemplar to all those searching for the outer realms of the Pretty-Philthy spectrum.

Fresh Air, on the air

Donal Dineen's radio show takes on a fresh visage for November, with the invitation of a host of Irish artists to come on, have a bit of a chat, play a few tunes. It is basically like they call over to him for a cuppa tea but we get to listen in. Should be only lovely.

A reminder that the Small Hours airs Monday-Thursday, midnight-2am.

From Donal Dineen's blog:

FreshAir is a free music festival that will be transmitted directly into your ears via The Small Hours on Today FM. Donal Dineen has chosen his pick of the best new irish sound makers to take part in a month-long celebration of great new music, live on your radio.

For the month of November Donal will have a invited guest act live on air for The Small Hours to play live, chat to Donal and play a selection of their own favourite tunes, effectively curating the show for the night.

Lined up so far are Chequerboard, Jimmy Behan, 3epkano, Stefan Galt, Si Schroeder, Dark Room Notes, Beautiful Unit, Katie Kim, R.S.A.G., Good Time John, Patrick Kelleher, Valerie Francis, Sunken Foal, and Kevin Blake, and Thread Pulls.

Intimidating. Taken from Fabric 48 - Radioslave.

Sideproject

Sideproject is a Cork based 5 piece. The band formed in early 2006 and have been producing high-quality experimental/post rock ever since. To date they have released two well received EPs Take Shelter From The Stars and Not Waving But Drowning. Having played on the bill with acts such as Fight Like Apes, Delorentos and, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, the lads have garnered a deserved loyal following. They also featured as part of the Hard Working Class Heroes festival 2008 alongside the likes of Super Extra Bonus Party and the truly superb Chequerboard. The excellent 'Each Flame Concealed a Sinner' is amongst a number of tracks to sample on their MySpace page. With influences such as Efterklang, Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky, the lads could hardly go wrong. Best of all, I have the absolute pleasure of being a colleague of Alan and Mike. Treat yourself to a listen.

Sideproject - 'Outpatients'

An Troubadour

While i'm at it, here's the first part of RTE's Leargas tribute to Mic - Troubadour - screened around the time of the Skylarking release in 2003.

Dirty Projectors - Stillness is the move

Mic Christopher in Vienna, 2001

Just came across this live rendition of what many believe to be the late Mic Christopher's masterpiece, What A Curious Notion, filmed at a Vienna club in 2001. Always nice to see an initially uninterested crowd become so gripped by a man and his guitar. Typically for Mic, he forgets the name of the song...

This November marks 8 years since his untimely death in Groningen; he would have been 40 last month.

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33 (Remixes)

It's hard to believe that 45:33 has been with us since 2005. It still sounds as fresh and energising as when it first creeped into our lives. We now have an updated and remixed version released last month after having undergone a 2009 workout (ahem) from some of house and disco's finest. The original track placings have not been altered hugely. Have a listen.

Julian Plenti - The Academy - 1 December 2009

Ferg introduced us to Paul Banks' pseudonym Julian Plenti back in August. Now in support of his album Julian Plenti...is Skyscraper, Banks is playing selected dates in support of the release including a date at The Academy at beginning of December. Tickets(€33) are still on sale. Any other questions should be satisfied by a single click here.

Julian Plenti - 'Only If You Run'
