Friday 20th June 2003
Venue: The Lower Deck, Portobello Harbour, Dublin 2.
Time: 9pm
Admission: €6 (free CD-R to the first one hundred people in the door)
Bands:
Cat on Form (http://www.diskant.net/catonform/)
Hailing from Brighton, Cat on Form are the first English band we’ve had over. And we’re damn lucky! Their debut album, “Structure and Fear” will be out in July on Southern Records.
They have manic, loud and individualistic performances that demand reaction. This promises to be an incredible show.
One journalist commented that their music is “the sound Fugazi would make if you turned them all into dogs, starved them for a week and then shoved them in a room full of, well, cats”.
Tracer AMC (http://www.traceramc.co.uk/)
Belfast-based Tracer AMC have been one of the leading instrumental bands on this island for the past few years. Having played previously played with the likes of June of 44 and Fugazi, they make atmospheric bass and guitar melodies. Since the release of their pelican E.P. on Errol Records the band has expanded it's array of sounds to include glockenspiels and violins. Currently working on further material, the Ballroom is delighted to have these guys around.
Puget Sound
Puget Sound are certainly one of the best punk bands to have come from Dublin in past few years. As one web-site said they were “formerly a "reggae punk" band their sound has definitely matured over the years – they now play really complex hc punk which has to be heard to be understood”. They’ve played in Germany, Britain, Holland and even Brazil. And they’re in the process of releasing a new album at the moment.
Wormholes (http://www.groov.ie/memorycells/thewormholes.html)
Wormholes have been at the forefront of avant-garde rock in Ireland for several years now. Albums such as “Chick Dig Scars” and “Parajuana” are among the best of independent releases to have come from Ireland. They are also instrumental in putting together the Lazybird club.
They’re getting back to playing more live shows and have re-shaped their sound. We’re proud and happy as hell to have these guys playing a Ballroom.
