Floating at Glider

Feb 8, 9:09am Gigantic

Whewts, I’ve been wild busy lately, hence the lack of blog action. First up, just gonna fire out a quick post about how good Glider was last weekend. Of course, it’s always a good night down in Dublin, and there is always something that sticks out to make it special. This time I played the usual two sets, one upstairs and one downstairs. Usually, I play upstairs early in the night, but this time I played a little later. The club was also packed from really (probably something to do with pay day), and this combined with the later set [...]

Two Door Cinema Club – Dublin

Jan 23, 5:00am State Magazine

While their real homecoming was the previous night in Belfast’s tiny Limelight, the scale of Two Door Cinema Club ’s debut in Dublin’s O2 is not lost on the band as frontman Alex Trimble, earnestly overwhelmed, gushes at the size of the show mid-way through their set. After spending the closing month of 2012 touring Australia and Japan, a 10,000 people large welcoming party is a sure sign that you are doing something right. Arriving a half hour before The Cast of Cheers assemble on stage, it becomes apparent just how popular this band [...]

Richie Egan a.k.a Jape has released yet another project - this time under the pseudonym Black Abbott, recorded in a couple of days and uploaded it online.

Villagers – ‘The Waves’

Sep 9, 2012, 2:54pm The Clink

Posted in Music Videos This first taster from Villagers as yet untitled second album is a bit unexpected. 'The Waves' marks a slight departure from Becoming A Jackal, the folk sounds have been replaced with electronics and a pulsating beat. Conor's lyrical stylings still pull this all together. It's reminding me a bit of fellow irishman Jape. Check out [...]

In Search of the Eureka Moment with Jape

May 29, 2012, 10:33am Societe Perrier

"Once You 'try' to write a song you are bound to fail." Envision a world where The Cure at their sleekest, synth-poppiest, and most danceable, circa “Why Can’t I Be You,” coexist comfortably with the hushed indie-folk harmonies of Kings of Convenience, and you’ll have fashioned a fanciful sonic landscape uncannily similar to the one [...]

Camden Crawl Dublin interview: Jape

May 8, 2012, 6:00am State Magazine

Shortly after winning the latest round of the Choice Music Prize, for the brilliant Ocean Of Frequency , Richie Egan departed Ireland to start a new life in Scandinavia. He hasn’t forgotten us, though - the Jape front man, in fact, seems positively unable to stay away. With his abundant side projects still on the go, and the possibility of more already getting a look in around his new home, rarely has one man been more music-focused… It seems to have been a good year or so for Jape, particularly with the popularity [...]
