Ireland's unsigned live scene has recently been rumbling with sporadicappearances from a mesmerizing and totally unique live Irish act. On October19th at Whelan's, the underground will be unearthed – it is time for R.S.A.G.to present his debut double album, 'Organic Sampler' along with aheadline show.

'One of the best acts by far I saw at the Electric Picnic was R.S.A.G. He blew me away…'
Irish Times Sept 2008

R.S.A.G. ( Rarely Seen Above Ground ) is Jeremy Hickey. He is amulti-instrumentalist who records, performs and produces all his own material.Live R.S.A.G. plays drums / percussion and sings. The backing tracks arerecorded in his studio. Visually, he has created a virtual band which isprojected on a screen behind him.

Think of Joy Division, Talking Heads, Fela Kuti, New York rockers, ESGwith the visual impact of the Gorillaz. But rather than the use of animation,he aspires to a sort of shadowplay; a show of silhouettes of himself, which heutilises on disc. Think of what DJ Shadow done on his live tour of The PrivatePress. This is so much more than just music, it is a friendly, full-sensoryvirus with no known cure.

R.S.A.G's career has catapulted in the last 7 months and has included arecent support of The Fall in the Spiegeltent. He also headlined the Body andSoul Arena at Electric Picnic where he was joined on stage by Liam O'Maonlaighand Ronan O'Snodaigh. The impromptu jam that followed left weekend revelersreeling.

He now brings his show to Whelan's to officially launch his debut doublealbum 'Organic Sampler'. Don't miss this opportunity to catch RSAGlive at Whelans on October 19th.

'This is probably one of the most unique and diverse collections from an Irish artist that we have heard all year and one that is well worthy of your attention' Road Records (Album Of The Fortnight)

'Mazes of bass jams, resourceful rhythms and malleable vocals createan intriguing, occasionally creepy, whirlpool of sound' SundayTribune

Make no mistake, it's real 'album of the year' territory
