Experimental/drone/alternative nights in Dublin? (1 Viewer)

[verkannt]

Are there any spots in Dublin that cater for music that is a bit left of centre? I would be talking about noise/drone/metal/experimental/avant-garde.... Any bit of help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[oh..herro]

hmmm, that's a very good question, JJ Smyth's on a sunday night, usually jazz but sometimes experimental/ avant garde stuff, might be good to keep an eye on promoters such as IMC, Note, Contemporary Music Centre, rather than just venues. Triskel Arts Centre is great for music that's a bit more out there but that's in Cork

But generally, if there is an interesting gig on it is in the Joinery.

things should heat up gigwise in the summer i would imagine.

Check out the Skinny Wolves, Munitions Family, and Deserted Village sites too. Not too sure what the story is with DV gigs while Gav is away though. They may not be up to much for the next while.

Thanks for the info. Are any of you going to Oneohtrix Point Never tomorrow?

Are any of you making this type of music? I'm trying to get to know a couple of lads/girls who are into making similar shit.

Boys of Summer are friends to the people! My favourite Irish band by a long shot at the mo. Check out the Munitions Family, it's Andy from BoS' label.

Didn't realise OPN was tomorrow!!!! Balls

OPN was good, but was too short. 30-35 minutes. Didn't have Judy, either, which is understandable, though.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

Didn't realised it was actually on last night!!! Balls

Sure might be seeing them at Primavera so can't really complain

Are you hitting Primavera, dude? Line-up looks excellent.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

Primavera is a tradition at this stage for me! 6th year in a row You heading along?

Fucking hell. That is awesome, dude. I can't afford it, man. I just got a bunch of new synths, guitar pedals etc.... Who are you looking to see?

 

[chutneyfarmer]
