Wednesday 4th March Dublin Castle

Juke + Sukh
+ Anadean Sky

Juke-A surprisingly mature and accomplished sound for a band so young and a pretty unique sound. It’s a bit like the more reflective side of Squeeze through an Americana lens or later post Attractions Elvis Costello. Great stuff. Sukh- Manchester based singer songwriter influenced by the likes of Dylan, Sigur Ros, and The National. Anadean Sky- state of the art click clacky riddim box and a sweet female lost vocal born perhaps outta mainstream pop textures- but very soulfully sung with nice arrangements. Ultimately a pop thru electronica happening. Check out the video above, who knows, beautifully rendered images of a pretty young girl frolicking semi clad in the sea may well float your boat! …

Thursday 5th March Dublin Castle

Raized
+ Red Tape + Eights N Aces

Raized- punky rock with a strangely alluring girlish vocal actually rendered very much by a geezer it seems. Appealing bit of Stooges like schlockiness and U.S punk pop appeal a la early Green Day. Red Tape-Raw abrasive indie rock, it’s the bluesier end of Artic Monkeys filtered through the Stooges amps but with a groovy early Kings Of Leon undertow, Eights N Aces-Swaggersome sweat drenched sexy low-slung rocknroll

What a tremendous night we just had at Rich Mix with Howie B and Addictive TV- enjoy the radio lozenge here…
