CRACKLE AND POP GLOSSARY:-


AMOEBAZOID
Amoebazoid, a.k.a. Keith O’ Brien, a guitarist by nature, has been making music for the last fifteen years from punk, indie to dub reggae and free improv with such bands as Inconvenience and Here Comes Everyone. In the last couple of years he’s turned his hand to more unusual sound generation methods involving computers and electronics. including far ranging influences from Hendrix to Xenakis. He is one half of electronic duo Double Adaptor, and he recently released his debut album, 'AutoCannibalism'.

THE ARRAY
The Array are a band from Dublin who write instrumental post-rock/alternative music with an electronic feel. Merging electronic instruments, found sounds and computer manipulations with traditional instruments, such as guitar, bass, clarinet and melodica, their music has an organic feel set against a progressive electronic backdrop.
The Array incorporates elements of Arabic and Bulgarian music, Dub, New Wave, Techno, and Ambient to create a unique sound, one that will please and surprise Irish audiences.
The Array recently released their debut album, 'On Unknown Soil' to much acclaim. This is their first live gig.

BAD LUNATIC
Bad Lunatic is an electronic project by Simon O'Connor, utilising multiple CD players to create a soundscape of terrifying beauty. Visual accompaniment comes from Simon Doyle. For this performance O'Connor will be joined by Andy Fogarty on guitars.

ROLLERS/SPARKERS
Full-on, out-there weirdness from odd-rock combo Rollers/Sparkers. Indescribable yet wonderful, Rollers/Sparkers have just released their debut EP, 'Geography For The Leaving'. Tonight they will be performing ‘a concerto for one nipple’.

here, is it true yer man simon o'connor from bad lunatic is nothing but a wanker and the most useless man in the entire universe?

 

[Keeror]

That theory holds true in all cases except where Simon is being Bad Lunatic. Then he is a very useful person, making great music that should have the world swooning, particularly that small part of the world that writes for the Wire and runs labels like Rune Grammefon and Mego.

Bad Lunatic is the bomb.
Just don't mention Abel Ferarra.

Whats the deal on the Project? Anyone know if its a good place to play. Doesn't have gigs very often me thinks but then again, i'm a fucknut.

 

[Keeror]

The Project is quite a good place to play. Especially if you like/need a quiet, non-smokey venue. Very much the opposite of Whelan's in that regard.
There's not many gigs on cos it's primarily a theatre - gigs only happen when there's no theatrical performance on, and recently they've tended to group gigs together in a theatre-free week, like this week.
Anyways, Willie White is the artistic director there and he's the one to talk to about putting gigs or anything else on in Project.

!Don't forget CRACKLE & POP is on this Saturday!

 

[Keeror]

Another good thing about the Project is that it's got a full bar, but is also an all-ages venue .

Hope to see some of you tomorrow!

Decade of the Rosary for Simon

He's dead right.
