Latest Live Reviews
Foals 
Foals live at The Academy, Dublin

09 May 2008

Bland pop, dull mainstream rock and generic indie-schmindie are poison. But as the title of their album suggests, Foals have got the rhythmical remedy.


Hybrasil
IMRO best of showcase tour live at the Village, Dublin

09 May 2008

There’s no shortage of showcase events vying for the attention of young acts these days, but IMRO’s tried and trusted model remains refreshingly free of bells and whistles.


The Coronas
2fm 2moro 2our live at The Village, Dublin

09 May 2008

The Coronas headline the 2fm 2moro 2our line-up, but are ultimately overshadowed by fellow Dubliners Boss Volenti.

Bjork live at The Waterfront Hall, Belfast

08 May 2008

It’s the Icelandic minx’s first ever performance in the north, and with tickets as rare as a teetotaller at a Pogues gig, you can feel the excitement in the venue.


Sia

29 Apr 2008

Before we get to tonight’s main event, a special mention has to go the support act, Har Mar Superstar, who performs a brilliantly entertaining set of cracking electro-funk rhythms.


The Enemy
The Enemy

29 Apr 2008

I’ve been to some weird venues in my time but the Nugent Hall, which acts as a cowshed during the day, has to be the oddest.


The Flaws
Reasons To Be Beerful

29 Apr 2008

Kenny Browne reviews the Murphy's Live event in Cyprus Avenue, Cork.


The Ting Tings
The Ting Tings

28 Apr 2008

The venue is crammed to capacity tonight for Salford’s newest export, The Ting Tings.
