Cooper(Holland,Kunfu Records)Tour: July 1st-Cruiscín Lán:
okay bullet points Cooper and The Pennywhores -3 gigs -Sally Longs, Cruiscin Lan and Riddlers 30th, 1st and 2nd respectively. Cooper just confirmed as support act for Social Distortion on their European tour. Details below. There's a good chance you have seen the band play as they¿ve been busy over the past several years playing with the likes of Fugazi, Offspring, Vandals, Living End, Explosion, Stereophonics, Morphine, Jesus Lizard and Sum 41 amongst others.
Cooper to play their first Irish dates. Netherlands based punk power-trio Cooper make their Irish debut in late June for a hat-trick of what are sure to be storming shows.
Cooper are the first European band to be added to the legendary Kung-Fu (owned by Vandals bassist Joe Escelante) record label and have just released their first LP for Kung Fu `Cooper Makes Tomorrow Alright¿. The LP, Coopers fourth in all, has been picking up airplay and friends at BBC1 who¿ve been spinning `Ship Ahoy¿ ¿which has an Irish connection as it was co-written with ex-Hitchers-drummer-now- Pennywhores-frontman Niall Quinn. Indeed The Pennywhores will be joining Cooper as special guests for their jaunt around the west and south. The gigs mark the `whores return to live action to push their `Murder He Did¿ single after a baby shaped hiatus was extended by sitting the Leaving Cert (don't even ask!!!).
Catch Cooper and The Pennywhores Live in Ireland - Summer `05 30.6. Galway -Sally Longs 1.7. Cork -An Cruiscin Lan 2.7. Limerick -Riddlers STOP PRESS!!!! Cooper confirmed as the support act for Social Distortion on their European tour! Kicking off on August 6th at London Astoria all the way through to August 28th and taking in dates in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland - Cooper will open for seminal US punk band Social Distortion. Web: http://www.cooperhq.com Cooper Biog: Bertus: Drums, Vocals René: Guitar, Vocals Eddy: Bass, Backing Vocals In a time where the name of a band is more like a tongue twisting nonsensical sentence, usually no less than 17 words including a day of the week and a brand of panty pads, it¿s good to know that there are still bands who like to keep it simple.
Like Cooper, a three piece punk rock band that don't need eyeliner and girls jeans but may wear the occasional tight t-shirt, to make a criminally catchy blend of Circle Jerks, Beatles and The Police with The Descendents and Dave Brubeck looking over their shoulder. Cooper have already released three previous albums, "Do You Know Not?" (1994), "No. 2" (1996) and ¿Activate¿ (2001). Do You Know Not? and No.2 were both recorded and produced by Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL), who was so impressed with René¿s hot finger licks, he recruited him to tour with Junkie XL for several years. Activate was produced by Michel Schoots (Urban Dance Squad). Cooper's fourth effort, modestly titled `Cooper Makes Tomorrow Alright', was produced by one of their all time heroes, the legendary Bill Stevenson (known for his drumming for Black Flag, Descendents/ALL and Only Crime as well as producing numerous punk bands like 7 Seconds, Good Riddance, Rise Against and Zeke). The album was recorded in the Netherlands where prostitutes and drugs and other such like things that every growing boy needs are never far away. Together with his partner in crime Jason Livermore, Stevenson then mixed the sessions at his own Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, Colorado USA. Vandals¿ bassist and Kung Fu Records¿ owner Joe Escalante heard the album, decided that it `sounded great¿ and then asked `what the plan was¿.
....One thing led to another and before anyone could shake a shitty stick, Cooper were added to the very impressive Kung Fu rooster. Live Cooper are exciting, tight and powerfully intense, and as most 3 pieces achieve, create a powerful melodic wall of sound leaving the songs running round your head for weeks after.
July 1st Cruisín Lán, adm a mere €8, local band tbc.
