Having wowed all in attendance as support for Mike Gangloff in Plugd Records as part of a Black Sun bill back in March, experimental Galwegian folkies Yawning Chasm return to Leeside with beautifully dark new EP Butterfly and Crab in tow. What Red House Painters would have sounded like if had found themselves lost in a deep, dank, dark cave. Download all of Yawning Chasm's back catalogue for FREE from their official bandcamp here.
******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ******* North Side Drive
Electro-classical instrumentalists North Side Drive are set to provide a serious slice of class to proceedings in The Roundy in August as local rockers Former Monarchs' vocalist/pianist/drummer Jonathan Pearson performs tracks from his recently released debut EP. Expect lavish strings accompanied by electronic beats. To stream/download music from North Side Drive visit northsidedrive.bandc amp.com.
"Eerie, evocative, graceful piano and strings from Former Monarchs’ drummer Jonathan Pearson which will remind you of the minimalist panache of Hauschka and Nils Frahm." Jim Carroll - Irish Times
******************** ******************** ******************** ******************** ******* Rory Francis O'Brien
Better known for intricate guitar work as one third of incendiary bog-rockers Ten Past Seven, Rory Francis O'Brien's solo work with innovative guitarist James Fortune (19th Light) has taken on a life of its own, the blues-folk workings evolving organically over the past 18 months.
- Yawning Chasm, North Side Drive & Rory Francis O'Brien play The Roundy on Friday, 17th August.
- Tickets are priced at €6 and available to purchase at the door.
Big thanks to everyone who turned up on Friday night. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Loved every second of all three bands. Hello Moon are next on October 5th.
