Spook of the thirteenth lock and Glimmermen play The Bridge Brook Arms, Thomastown, Kilkenny. Saturday March 19.

The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock

The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock is music from Dublin, Ireland. Named after a poem about a haunted canal lock, The Spook play in the Irish folk tradition delving into the realms of psych, prog and post rock. Sometimes a single player, a folk trio or a full electric band, the Spook have a unique take on the idea of Irish folk rock, making the familiar sound innovative, the ancient new, and the local sound universal.
To date they have released a critically acclaimed self titled debut album on Transduction Records and played numerous concerts around Ireland, including performances at the Electric Picnic and Hard Working Class Heroes festivals and completed a Japanese tour in February 2009. They are currently working on their sophomore album with acclaimed producer Steve Shannon.

Some press quotes about the self titled debut album:

"an album that combines vitality, bold vision and vivid imagination. Time to ditch those tired old Celtic-rock retreads. This is the real stuff” – Rock and Reel

the best tunes are wrapped in the kind of guitar blizzard mostly associated with Sixteen Horsepower or early Dirty Three” –Uncut

“One of the best pieces of contemporary Irish rock music we’ve heard in an age” – The Irish Times

“The best album I have heard from Ireland since Fionn Regan’s ‘The End Of History’ and like that masterpiece this a record that is exceptionally beautiful and inspired” – Americana UK

“This is as vital and progressive an Irish traditional album as there has been in the past decade” – Irish Examiner USA

GLIMMERMEN

GLIMMERMEN are a trio based in Dublin who formed in 2010. They spent last summer writing songs and last autumn playing gigs in Róisín Dubh, Ballroom of Romance, The Grand Social and The Joinery.

GLIMMERMEN features former members of Boxes, Jackbeast and Holy Ghost Fathers.

Gavin Cowley (vocals, guitar, harmonica and keys) was one half of 2-piece rock band Boxes who released three albums including the critically lauded “Bad Blood” recorded by Steve Albini in Electrical Audio Chicago, released on Dutch label Laterax. Boxes played gigs with Dinosaur Jnr., Nomeansno and The Ex.

J. Bassetti (double bass and vocals) played with Jackbeast (an inspirational Post-Punk band from Dublin circa 1990s) and the controversial Electro outfit ‘Burning Love Jumpsuit’ who specialised in a subtle form of disco-infused media terrorism. They also featured on John Peels ‘Festive 50’ in 2002.

Phil Murray (drums and vocals) played drums with The Holy Ghost Fathers between 2001-2007 their self-released ‘Cock of the Walk’ album received critical acclaim. Phil decamped to Melbourne Australia and played drums with Gluefoot and The Blue Poles.
