DALEK
Destructo Swarmbots, Papercop
Thursday 19 June - Whelan's

Meet Dälek – from bleak New Jersey – a group who take the collage aesthetic of the early Bomb Squad productions, and infuse hip-hop with the likes of Faust, My Bloody Valentine and the Velvet Underground. Lyrically, Dälek conjures ideas as broadly rooted as Chuck D, The Last Poets and Jack Kerouac. Oktopus’ jagged on-stage presence and intense soundscapes and off-kilter infusions blend perfectly with DJ Still’s insane turntable-ability (scratching with his teeth for starters). Both Dälek's music and lyrics create a whole sound that completes a much bigger picture. Their most recent release - From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots - strays from hip-hop cliches of materialism. Dälek stay true to themselves in speaking of disenfranchisement with the hip-hop scene, and demonstrate their take on hip-hop as a progressive form of art, not mere commercialism. They have collaborated with Faust, William Hooker Ensemble, Jett Brando, Techno Animal, 2nd Gen, Sofa Surfers, Kid606, Oddateee, Velma, & more. File Under: Groundbreaking Hip-Hop. Support from the bonkers DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS and the superb PAPERCOP. Doors 8pm, tickets 14 euro.

Good luck to Graham, I hope it goes well for him but, I think he's going to find it very hard to fill venues around the country when virtually nobody has even heard one song yet.

Best of luck to him though (Hope I'm wrong about the above)

In farirness, the single has been played off the radio in the last three weeks, and he's been featured pretty much everywhere. I'd say the gigs will be grand.
