In light of the whole MCD debate, this should go down a treat, but - wait - don't shoot the messenger...

HOT HOT HEAT
plus special guests TEN SPEED RACER
Saturday 3 May 2003 - Whelan's of Wexford Street
Doors 8pm - Tickets 14 euro
The toast of the music (toilet) papers right now, HOT HOT HEAT sound less like products of The Strokes' Finishing School and more like The Cure mainlining with The mAKE-uP. Tours with Les Savy Fav and Radio 4 have smartened them up no end - the album has some fantastic moments. The original special guest was to be HAR MAR SUPERSTAR - a classic cross between Prince, Gold Chains and Ron Jeremy - but he waws forced to pull out of the gig due to illness (check out the quote: "Apparently I've got a pirate's disease called shingles. I'm really sorry I had to cancel the shows but I didn't want to give everyone in the UK chest herpes. I'm still the fucking best and I'll be living in the UK all summer so you'll get enough of me then. . Saving the day will be TEN SPEED RACER in the special guest slot.

GOLD CHAINS
plus special guests
Monday 5 May 2003 - Whelan's of Wexford Street
Doors 8pm - Tickets 15
He raps about his electronic equipment, he samples Stereolab classics, and “hypno babes” rule his pants! Meet Topher LaFata aka GOLD CHAINS – one of the new breed of electro-pioneers, ready to conquer the world with his one-man show. Imagine a point somewhere between T Rex and Timbaland and you’re kinda close. Born in Pennsylvania, LaFata was a product of the skateboarding-and-hardcore scene, before his background in electronics taught him what he needed to get GOLD CHAINS off the ground. “Rock The Party” (an early single, that) featured a sample of the incessant guitar line from Stereolab’s “Crest” initially turned the heads, but it’ll be the debut album (“Young Miss America”) that will take them clean off the shoulders – a perfect maelstrom of punk, rap, hip-hop, funk, ragga, electro booty-bass...

BEANS - ex. Anti-Pop Consortium
plus special guests MESSIAH J & THE EXPERT (ex. Creative Controle)
Monday 5 May 2003 - TBMC
Doors 8pm - Tickets 16.50
Hip-hop rebel. Wordsmith extraordinaire. Sonic architect. Fashion renegade. Published poet. Culture star. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the bright new world of BEANS, aka Mr. Ballbeam, and former member of Anti-pop Consortium (the influential avant-hip hop trio who disbanded in 2001).
“I’ve always been just as interested in what Autechre or Aphex Twin are doing right now as Jay-Z or Mos Def,” Beans explains simply. “There’s a long relationship between hip hop and electro and I think now hip hop is less scared of letting its barriers slip. Modern hip hop is starting to realise the debt owed to it by electronic music. And we’re calling in that debt!”
