OUR ANNIVERSARY 10TH BOX SOCIAL, SHOW ALL DAY MINI FEST, SAT.27 TH OF JUNE

I took it upon myself to go big at the last moment and do an all day festival in your humble home. The event will feature 8 acts who have already played sweet sets at different box social show over the course of the last 6 months, 4 others yet to thrill out bare concrete walls.
This is sure to be fun, maybe be too much fun.

Thread Pulls
No no wave, roto tom drumming, trumpet/Vocal looping two piece of excellent, Thread Pulls are still the only Irish band to play All Tomorrows Parties Festival. You can download a series of ep for free Here and a great hour long mix can be got here.

Children Under Hoof,
...are five people from various regions of Ireland, brought together in college by a mutual love of Risk, Father Ted and 7"s played at 33 RPM. Members include Limerick's Miss Junior Teen '99, the co-founder of the original Ted Fest, 1/2 of experimental band Ixchel, 1/1 of Patrick Kelleher, and IADT's Best Tash 2006. Their music, vl tone busting/sax swarming/vss sampling/floor tom pounding noise creates a sound that could be described as trying to channel the souls of Robert Rendal, Michael Karoli and Porter Wagoner but failing in a wigi board inferno.

Toymonger,
"...Anxiety-ridden, dread-fueled creepers of scraping metal, white noise, and dripping feedback..." - The Adhocist

Herv,
"Like watching late period Rick Wakeman being attacked by robots made out of old spring coils. And if you don't think that's a pretty appealing vision, well then, you're missing a few mental teeth." - The Wire
Haha too good, well we think he's the bomb.

Hunter-Gatherer,
"Prolific in his work and benevolent with the output offering plenty of electronic goodies for free, Hunter-Gatherer is moody, broody, uplifting, an aural rip curl" - One Shot, Bang Bang


Patrick Kelleher
""You Look Cold" left me hot under the collar, this debut album from 24 year-old, Irish Patrick Kelleher is awe-inspiring in it's genre-bashing brilliance and refreshing take on a myriad of musical references. Swinging from Vincent Gallo's most whispery nonchalance to thumping electro beats circa Talking Heads with David Byrne/ Ian Curtis shouty vocals ('He Has to Sleep Sometime') via an obvious interest early 90s hip-hop, perhaps A Tribe Called Quest most noticeably, no small feat for one man!" - Amelia's Magazine.
This will be a solo show so the beautiful "Cold Dead Hands" will be elsewhere, expect non LP loopy stuff like this maybe or a twenty minite cover of The late great Joe Doyle's "Sweat Little Rock n' Roller" (In your dreams only).

Patrick Kelleher - Last Of The Summer Wine from Gerard Duffy on Vimeo.

Crayonsmith (solo),
"Subtle snatches of melody, classic if sometimes unexpected harmonic twists, droning percussive synths and charming vocals so beautifully layered and produced" - CLUAS on his last LP "White Wonder"

Ewa Gigon creates eerie ethereal loops with plumbing tubes, curtain rains and found metal drums Her wonderful live film scoring show at the box social can be view Here.

Squarehead "a boy who likes melody and is a gameaddict " - Urban Dictionary definition of "Squarehead".

Laura Sheeran carves out a unsettling audio tale with a rich and disturbing lexicon, from singing saws to carne ukulele, looped vocals from voices that sound out like warnings of the industrial revolution.

Mattew Doyle,
With the spunk of Barman, Perkins and Lomax, dubliner Matthew Doyle was been slowly chipping out his own style of post palace blues over that last few years.

Patrick Kelleher's 'Another Pretty Face' Mixtape

To celebrate the launch of Patrick Kelleher's debut album "You Look Cold"on the 18th (This Thurday) in Academy 2, here is a a tip top compilation he made for a now debunked site but he has kind enough to throw it my way. Ill be Djing at the launch also playing some slowmo 7"s, so hopefully see a few heads at it busting a groove to some slowed down Kylie.


1. Robert Rental - Double Heart


Some friends and I were staying in Tentstation in Berlin last Summer, and to our delight one evening, instead of table tennis and bingo, the campsite entertainment consisted of DJs and a live gig. Anyway, this is one of the songs played by the DJ that night, who happened also to be the receptionist. After asking who it was, we tried to memorise his name, however we had forgotten an hour later. By chance, a kind last.fm user recommended this track to me and I have been listening solidly ever since. A post-punk DIY industrial electronic artist from Port Glasgow in Scotland, Robert Rental released two singles and two collaborative albums, one with Thomas Leer and the other with The Normal. Double Heart was released on Mute Records in 1980.
2. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Strange Fires
This is from the LA-based artist's superb 2004 album 'The Doldrums'
I will have the pleasure of supporting him and his live band when he plays Dublin on May 15th.
3. IXCHEL - Clockwork Castles
I have tried to put a lot of relatively unknown Irish acts into this mix and this is the first, IXCHEL, named after the aged jaguar goddess of midwifery and medicine in the ancient Maya culture. Comprising of Dublin Natives Timothy Hurley and Barry Semple.
4. Banjo or Freakout - Upside Down
Londoner Alessio Natalizia allows himself only one take for every track that he records. You can download his 'Upside Down' EP and other releases for free from his blog.
5. Angkorwat - Daughter of
Not to be confused with '80s Thrash metal outfit Angkor Wat, Dublin Artist Niamh is a classical violinist who went back to square one, typing out basic melodies on macbook keys. it’s reflection of several obsessions including synesthesia, Romaine Brooks, hidden history, Mozart and Cambodian temples.
6. Lucky Dragons - Mercy
I have been lucky enough to see the LA outfit twice in Dublin this year. In live shows, the audience becomes part of the music making process, as Luke passes around drums, gongs, live electrical wires, rocks and other instruments, creating a buzzing, clicking, humming symphony.
'Mercy' is from their 2002 LP 'Dark Falcon'.
7. A Faulty Chromosome - Jackie O
I fell in love with this band from Austin, Texas ever since my friend (cough, cough) introduced me to them last year. They seem to have the same effect on most people who hear their songs. You can purchase their Album 'as an ex-anorexic's six sicks exit' by mail. I did, and was very pleased when they sent out a copy of the album, along with a hand-made poster and a hand-written personal letter.
8. The Booklovers - She Said
Now based in London, Irishman Ferrau Lynch and friends love cassette tapes, glockenspiel, Jens Lekman and all things twee. It will be interesting to see how their sound develops with the all new line up.
9. Electrelane - On Parade

Fortunately, I saw them play once before they split up in 2007. Now I mourn the loss of the Brighton four-piece who are signed to the same label as Stereolab, 'Too Pure'.
'On Parade' Comes from their 2004 album, 'The Power Out'.
10. The Modern Lovers - Modern World
He was dancing in the lesbian bar, aoo, aoo aoo.
11. E+S=B - 3 Sides Part 1
Dublin 3-piece 'Electronic Sensoria Band' bring Krautrock, Jazz and Electronic sounds to the Irish underground scene. David, Anto and Fergus have released an LP with Can's Damo Suzuki.
This track is from 'Inhale the Sound'.
12. Cian Nugent - The Phantom Bus of Clarinda Park
Cian Nugent is an 18 year old exploratory guitarist from Dublin Ireland whose playing is rooted in pre-war blues, Appalachian string bands and the Takoma tradition.
Fahey is referenced quite a bit on this recording, but Cian is no mere Fahey imitator. He uses the style as a starting point for his compositions and creates something highly personal within these limitations.
13. Jeffrey Lewis - The East River
From 'The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and Other Favourites'.
14. David Kitt - Whispers Return the Sun, Rest the Moon

Has been at the forefront of the Irish 'indie' music scene for about 10 years. His new album, 'The Nightsaver' sounds great, however I have been too poor to buy a copy recently so here is my favourite song from his successful 2001 album, 'The Big Romance'.
15. Si Schroeder - C4
Possibly the best music in Ireland at the moment. This is from 2006's 'Coping Mechanisms'
16. Hulk - The Moon Versus the Sea
From his 2005 album 'Silver Thread of Ghosts', available on Osaka Recordings.
17. Jackson C. Frank - October
1960's folk from the now deceased Frank's album 'Blues Run the Game'.
18. Devendra Banhart - Nice People...
From his second album, fully entitled 'Oh Me Oh My...The Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit'.
19. John Jacob Niles - Little Black Star

I discovered the wonders of Appalacian dulcimer-playing John Jacob while watching Scorsese's Bob Dylan documentary 'No Direction Home'. He recorded primarily in the 1920s and '30s.
20. The Ink Spots - Do I Worry?

I remember this song from my parents playing the soundtrack to Dennis Potter's TV series 'The Singing Detective' on vinyl when I was little. I loved it. Frank Sinatra does a fine version of it too.
21. Mt. Eerie - Human
A band from Anacortes, Washington, fronted by Phil Elverum formerly of The Microphones. If you don't have any of their music, get some. This track is from 2005's 'Twenty Bees' EP, which they gave away for free.
You can buy many of their releases here:

Declan Kelly - I Don't Know What Else to Do. (Virtual 7 Inch No.5)

After a nearly year long Hiatus, Virtual 7" series is back. Trying to shine a light on thoses who should be exposed on our wee Island and first up Galway native Declan Kelly and two glorious tunes of his.
In my kitchen I wish all three bikes lying upside down didnt all have punctures, because "I Don't Know What Else to Do" is the finest freewheelin' sounds I think I will hear this year. I know, I know in keep mentioning the phrase "Freewheelin'" but it state of being I try to stride for all day. I once had a bike with a buckled back tyre for nearly six months, the bike was against me all the way, tyre hitting against the forks once every rotation. The posse and I would cycle into town from Deansgrange to go to gigs, and I was always the last in, sweaty and exhausted peddling all the way while the others in font would freewheel, legs dangling. I eventually got a new back wheel and the difference was so pronounced and even joyous, there was no slowing me down and Declan Kelly as made the soundtrack to getting the stabilizes off, getting the buckled wheel off and being free and not weigh down by the mechanics and just enjoying the ride.
Oh truly majestic and comforting and simply touching sounds, like the best John Fahey, Jim o' Rourke and Si Schroder numbers roll up into one.
