The Mighty Stef takes over new music venue

Knoxville Morning play the first gig tomorrow night.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 24 Oct 2012

Not content with making some firebrand rock 'n' roll of his own, Stefan Murphy is now looking to provide the good people of Dublin with a whole host of other acts, both homegrown and international, on a regular basis.

The singer has just taken over booking at a Thomas Street venue and the first gig takes place tomorrow night, Thursday October 25.

The first act to take the stage Upstairs at Arthurs is Newbridge's Knoxville Morning. A great live proposition indebted to the likes of The Replacements, they've just released their album so it's a great time to catch them.

Admission is completely free.

To get to the 150-capacity room and check out Stef's latest endeavour, head for 28 Thomas Street, Dublin 8, and make your way upstairs. A great night awaits...

He’s a law unto himself is Stef, making the kind of records that nobody else could get away with. ‘Poisonous Love’ is an ode to a doomed love affair that turns into a punk sea shanty and sounds like The Men They Couldn’t Hang. It’s also great.

2007-05-18 - REVIEW

A pivotal figure within Dublin’s psycho-rock scene, he’s been threatening something special for some time, and praise be, The Sins of Sainte Catherine is a fine representation of his considerable talent.

2006-10-02 - REVIEW

They don’t call him the Mighty Stef for nothing – brimming with showmanship and out-on-a-limb theatrics, this double A-side is the perfect marriage of knowing, indie melody and uplifting, crowd-pleasing pop. ‘Liars’ gives the Nolan Sisters a wry nod (as you do), while on first impression ‘Prayer For The Broken Hearted’ sounds as though Nick Cave found the happy pills (and cabaret).
