Rubyworks Anniversary tickets now onsale
Three fantastic line-ups over three nights later this month.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 08 Aug 2012
The Rubyworks label is celebrating its first decade in existence with three special Dublin gigs. The Rubyworks birthday nights will take place in The Olympia, Whelans and Doyles, with performances from the likes of Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Fight Like Apes.
The first shin dig will take place in the beautiful surrounds of The Olympia Theatre on Sunday August 26. Rodrigo y Gabriela will headline the night, their only Irish appearance this year, followed by Ryan Sheridan, Wallis Bird and Josephine. Tickets are priced €25.90 and are onsale now here.
Whelans is the venue for a more intimate but equally impressive collection of acts on Monday August 27. Where Fight Like Apes, The Minutes, Funeral Suits and Deap Vally will continue the birthday celebrations. This will be Fight Like Apes only gig of the year and will be hotly tipped LA dirty blues duo Deap Vally’s first Irish gig. Tickets are priced €17.50 and are onsale now here.
The final gig on Tuesday August 28 will see the label return to its spiritual home at Doyles Ruby Sessions where an array of acts from across the label’s roster will perform. A small charitable donation will be accepted on the door on behalf of The Simon Community
The first hundred fans in the door of both The Olympia and Whelans gigs will get a free exclusive limited edition Rubyworks 10th birthday album sampler.

Armed with a sense of humour and a willingness to take the kind of risks other bands shy away from – check our cover shoot if evidence is needed – Fight Like Apes are among the few Irish bands who seem to go looking for trouble. In addition to wrestling with their fans, dissing their mates and merrily using the word ‘cunt’ in a song, the title of their new album alone might just land them in jail. With a bit of luck, that is.

2007-06-11 - News
Hailing from Dublin and weighing in at over six hundred pounds, the Fight Like Apes experience is a chaotic clash of electronics and rock, topped off with a frontwoman who can soothe and confront in equal measures. As debuts go, ‘How Am I...’ is a serious achievement, a kaleidoscope of different ideas that somehow manages to hang together and forge its own identity. Most impressive of all, amongst the madness lie three genuinely great songs that – the odd swear word aside – could grace daytime radio with no bother. They’re pretty much everywhere over the coming months, not to see them at least once would be a crime.
