Bats album launch.
The eagerly anticipated album launch from Dublin's own Bats occurs this Saturday and is unlikely to disappoint. For extra fun join us and the tower crew for The Redneck Manifesto's first gig in well over a year in Whelans before the bats gig.

This isn't NME... P A R T T H R E E
I realise that this could probably go on for some time, but here's installment number 3 anyway...
Refused: very few bands release albums as important as Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come and then split up before they can even get the credit for the masterpiece they created. After the group disbanded they ordered all 'stupid reporters' and magazines to burn any pictures they had of them, as Refused were 'fucking dead'.
Jeff Walker, he was in Carcass, surely that's enough?
Jerry Garcia: Legendary guitarist from the Grateful Dead, met a sad end but while he was here represented everything that was cool to come out of the summer of love. His death was felt across the globe.
Arthur Lee: Singer on one of the greatest psychedelic rock albums of all time, Love's Forever Changes, Lee met his end at the age of 61 in 2006 due to leukemia. Sadly Lee was in the midst of a comeback before illness struck.
Double Leopards: Tape loops, drones, mouth noise, feedback and even the odd flute. Brooklyn's Double Leopards, certainly a less abrasive variety of the 'No Fun' league replace out and out noise for more 'mystical' drones. Certainly the highlight of a crowded 'wannabe' scene.
Magik Markers: With a rather large back catalog of CD-Rs and other releases it was 2007s Boss released on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label that earned the band respect of music press world wide. Their noise based rock and haunting vocals make them shoo ins for fans of something a little less straight forward.
