The Monday Club
Cyprus Avenue, Saturday 26th April, 21.10
The Monday Club from UK are Astrud on guitar and vocals, Jessamine on bass and vocals, and Amy on drums and occasional vocals. The motivation that glues this band together has been the attempt to create a sound that satisfies a combined aesthetic; the intention to write songs that resonate. The songs are ideas-based: cropped observational narratives, stark impressions of strange histories, dark blue cinematic lynchian atmopherics cut with sharp drums and curious basslines. It is frequently rough sounding, which is part accidental and part choice. Right now harshness and subtlety seem to be the carefully balanced elements that are most important to this band. www.myspace.com/mondayclubband
Ophelia with DJ Moschops,
Saturday 26th April, 21.35
Ophelia is a lyricist and vocalist mostly recognised for being an MC. Ophelia's style is versatile and so she has been involved in many collaborations across many genre's of underground music. She first started forming Hip Hop songs with DJ Moschops about five years ago after they met in a dark musical basement. The partnership has grown even to be redeveloped by a live instrumental act. Ophelia and DJ Moschops will be offering a diverse and expressive Hip Hop set at Ladyfest Cork 2008. www.myspace.com/opheliamc
Party Weirdo
Cyprus Avenue, Saturday 26th April, 22.55
Party Weirdo, basing themselves between Dublin and Berlin consists of three females expressing feminist ideals and more. The band delivers driving, happy, melodical music that will keep you dancing! Aside from the 3D talents of vocalist/ guitarist Cara Holmes and drummer Emily Aoibheann, the multi-instrumentalist Therese McKenna changes the dynamic of each song, by turns playing flute, cello and bass guitar. The result is a set that ranges from tight post-punk pop songs to loose anti-structures of whoops, squeals and free-rock abandon. www.myspace.com/partyweirdomusic

We Should be Dead
Cyprus Avenue, Saturday 26th April, 23.40
Poptastic, Hooktastic, Punktastic, Girl/Boy-tastic! Fun-loving, Floor-Filling, IndiePop Bubblegum Rock! The boy/girl four-piece We Should Be Dead exploded onto the music scene in 2007. The bands debut single 'Forget Romance Let's Dance!' made a huge impact on its release in November 2007, landing at number 3 in the Irish singles charts. The bands debut album was released on February 1st 2008 to critical acclaim. This was shortly followed by the 2nd single 'I Fell In Love With You' which was released on Valentines Day. The band were also nominated for an award in the "best newcomers" category at the Irish Meteor Awards 2008. We Should be Dead are most certainly ones to watch out for! www.myspace.com/wsbd
Suicidal Birds
Cyprus Avenue, Saturday 26th April, 00.25
The Suicidal Birds are two girls (Jessie: vocals, guitar / Chay: bass guitar, vocals) from the northern province Friesland, the Netherlands. The release of their debut album "Z-List" caused rave reviews in the Netherlands and UK. The band’s rapidly established live-reputation also led to two invitations by Dinosaur Jr. to be their support in Holland and Belgium. Armed with out-dated amps, (self made) pedals, drum machine, bass guitar, guitar and the elastic strong and moving voice of singer Jessie, they bring up a raging storm, drenched in the raw passion of the blues combined with the energy of punk emphasising the rough and readiness, that is so essential in rock and roll. www.myspace.com/suicidalbirds
