Rep-ra-zentin', ahem, representing the darker face of hip hop, New Jersey's Dalek open their Irish account with a string of dates in Cork, Dublin and Limerick throughout December in support of their From Filthy Tongues Of Gods And Griots album.

Signed to ex-Faith No More frontman Mike Patton's Ipecac label, the trio – who cite influences as diverse as My Bloody Valentine, The Beach Boys and Public Enemy – they'll be stopping off at The Half Moon, Cork on December 18, The Temple Bar Music Centre, Dublin on December 19 with support from Creative Controle and The High Stool, Limerick on December 20, with support from Herv.

Miss it at your peril!
