HALFSET:
Winners of last year’s Irish Independent Irish album of the year, and Choice Music Prize nominees for 2009, post rock foursome Halfset provide welcome midweek relief at Crawdaddy, with support from tipped electronic duo The 202s & Holy Roman Army.
The inimitable Halfset combine sublime electronics with a truly impressive array of live instruments, including vocals, glockenspiel, harp, trumpet, live drums, Rhodes, and analog synths. Their award-winning 2008 album “Another Way of Being There” is a masterpiece in sublime atmospheric instrumentals, with sonic layers exquisitely spun over perfect electronic frameworks.
“An album full to the brim with graceful, beautifully realized notes and airs. Such off-kilter explorations strike gold again and again”. IRISH TIMES
INFOMATICS:
Recent winners of RTE’s The Raw Sessions Artist of The Year, hip-hop/electronica quintet The Infomatics head up an outstanding urban line-up next Friday 28th August at Crawdaddy, with support from the superb Bionic Rats, MC Ophelia, DJ Moschops and more.
The Infomatics are Dublin’s vanguards of quality and accomplished Irish hip-hop, seamlessly blending rap, electronics, soul, and jazz for a remarkable sonic output that has seen the group rise to share the stage with the likes of NAS, Ice Cube, Saul Williams, and Lupe Fiasco.
Their 2008 debut album “Kill or Create” pulses with the addictive beats and ingeniously real rhymes that mark The Infomatics as a genuine first rate outfit in the genre. The band’s brilliantly energetic live show now consists of additional brass and backing singers for a Crawdaddy-busting 9-person line-up.
8 BALL:
Meteor Award nominated Dublin outfit 8 Ball warm up for Electric Picnic with one of their famously energetic genre-defying multi-instrumental live shows at Crawdaddy. After a brief musical hiatus, the experimental seven-piece return to the limelight, with select live performances this summer, and the autumn release of the band’s second studio album “With All Your Friends”, produced by Ian Caple of Tricky, Tindersticks etc fame.
“ 8 ball really are the sort of band you have to hear to understand. If you really want to ram them into a category, you'd have to stretch the definitions of folk, indie, jazz, hip-hop and electronica.” IRISH TIMES
CAP PAS CAP:
One of the most innovative Irish groups to emerge in recent years, Dublin quartet Cap Pas Cap seem unable to shake the anticipatory buzz that’s continually surrounded the band since their inception in the mid 00s.
Their hyperactive pop of pounding drums, drones, and synths has knocked critics and public dead, from their stunning 2006 debut EP “Not Not Is Fine”, to their latest EP, “We Are Men”, released late last year.
"Edgy, daring and sparky, Dublin band Cap Pas Cap play a hugely alluring post-everything game. There has only been a handful of releases to date, but each one has seen them pulling new shapes from the bag.” IRISH TIMES “Top 50 Irish Bands right now” article.
