LAZYBIRD
Saturday, 8pm-11pm
Hotel Ballymun, 15th Floor Clarke Tower, Ballymun
_________________________________________________
This Saturday night, Lazybird, in association with Hotel Ballymun, presents live performances from local hip-hop bizarros Deep Burial and Kilkenny's improv j-punk trio Rigamarole.
DEEP BURIAL
...are George Brennan and Richie Howard, who've been an integral part of Dublin's underground electronic and hip-hop scene for the past decade. Their first couple of releases came out on the semi-legendary Ultramack label in the late '90s, with the Undead EP following in 2001. Along the way, they've played live all over Ireland, at festivals such as DEAF and Mantua and at smaller clubs like, well, Lazybird.
Their 2006 album Black Music is as visceral and amusing as its cover art, all squishing and pulsing with bodily fluids. Jim Carroll of The Ticket gives it four stars and a very nice review:
"While Deep Burial have long sought to bring out the John Carpenter in their music, Black Music is the first time you can hear their own distinctly sinister sculptures take shape. Dublin duo George Brennan and Richie Howard have already spent 10 years in the instrumental hip-hop game, producing a number of sporadic releases along the way in an attempt to get all RZA on our asses. Black Music, though, is a huge leap forward, an album strung out on perfectly-pitched hissing soundscapes, shuffling tearaway beats and brilliantly realised ennui of the late-night-in-the-'burbs kind. In Deep Burial's zombie nation, you never know where the next attack will come from, and the likes of `Waggot Confetti', `18 West Road' and `Psychedelic Sewer' contain buckets of menace. With nods left, right and centre to such masterly scene-setters as Carpenter and Herrmann, Deep Burial are beginning to really get the hang of putting both blood and gore in the music."

RIGAMAROLE
...are a three-piece, active in Kilkenny, featuring Canice Kenealy (vocals, keyboards) Colin Ryan (drums) and Karol Conroy (guitar). Their sound is a unique blend of tribal percussion, hypnotic guitar and stream-of-consciousness singing/spoken word.
Canice says: "When I'm asked to describe it, I think 'jazz punk'. We are more interested in improvised and experimental performances than in conventional reproductions of 3-minute songs. Our songs/pieces develop and mutate each time we play them so we approach it like jazz while our delivery and sound are rooted in punk."
Rigmarole is an open house for an ever-changing line-up of collaborators to add their own layer of sound within the sound that we make. We also look forward to a collective willing to explore the possibilities of extreme performance onstage or in a recording environment."
All this is happening at Hotel Ballymun, an artistic project of the Breaking Ground collective and Seamus Nolan. More info about it here:

Our gig takes place in the top (15th) floor of Clarke Towers. It's located right next to the Ballymun Shopping Centre, as shown here:

(From City Centre, you can get to the Shopping Centre on the 13A bus, which goes there from Merrion Square via O'Connell Street. The 104, 17A and 220 buses also go there.)
It's free in, but space in the venue will be limited, so check out the above websites for more info.
We'll also be back there next Saturday with a live performance by our label's very own Chequerboard. Hope to see you at both gigs.
