Night Rumours - It's what keeps you up at night. From the basement to the bright lights - you're here today because you love dance music, and want a little more wamp. Hitting Electro, EDM, Techno and back - every week, Amperror (aka electblake ) will bring you the next wave of floor burners. It's not a sundae, it's a massacre. Ok - here we are. After 79 weeks of electro driving the seat we find ourselves in a different nation. A [...]

Jape's latest single ‘Hands Of Fire / Lying On A Deathbed’ is listenable over at this post. SE Minimix 012 - Jape by Synth Eastwood on [...]
Now in its sixth year, Castlepalooza Music and Arts Festival returns to Charleville Castle Tullamore, County Offaly this Bank Holiday weekend from Friday July 29th to 31st. Last years festival really won me over; some great music and a really nice and relaxed setting. They are also to be commended for their willingness to showcase homegrown acts, [...]
Despite the torrential rain outside, the living room-like surroundings of the Old Queen’s Head in Islington makes for a cosy night in. The London Irish Centre, along with Werewolf Promotions , has lined up an evening to satisfy those with nostalgia for the eccentric stylings of Ireland's fine musicians. Slightly unhinged indie and electro might not be what we were traditionally known for, but it’s certainly a comforting reminder of home when jerky quintet Grand Pocket Orchestra take to the stage. Instrument swapping and melodic indie-quirk make this mumbling, organised mash of a performance absolutely endearing and [...]

Forbidden Fruit was billed in advance as the 'first multi-stage music festival to take place in Dublin city centre', and it seems strangely quaint: not least when one of the visiting bands namechecks the city and you instinctively feel the urge to correct them, only to realise that yes, we are in Dublin. However, as with many first-time music festivals it's not without teething problems - the queues for drink on the first day are massive and bafflingly slow-moving. It's a situation exacerbated by the organisers' policy of not letting people leave the grounds and re-enter with a wristband. [...]
Richie Egan gets around. I'm not saying he's a man slut. He's got his hands in many pots - The Redneck Manifesto and Vision Air being the other two bands he's involved in. But Jape are due to release a new album in September, called Ocean Of Frequency . To attract our attention before then, Jape have made two tracks from the available as a free download. The tracks are Hands Of Fire and Lying On A Deathbed . The latter features [...]

Having spent the past while working on his VisionAir project, Richie Egan returns to his Jape alter ego later this month with the release of a new double A-side single. 'Hands of Fire'/'Lying on a Deathbed' is released on music/is/for/losers next Friday 27th, with the former track recorded at Black Box Studios in France with his regular band and the latter stemming from home sessions featuring Conor O'Brien on drums and guitar.

Adebisi Shank, Jape and Le Galaxie are just some of the bands who'll grace the stage of Charleville Castle, Tullamore as one of Ireland's best festivals celebrates its sixth birthday from July 29 - 30 this year. Yes, Casltepalooza is back. These days, I spend so much time in Tullamore coaching its American Football team, that I tend to forget it is home of one of Ireland's finest music festivals. Taking place on the [...]
The daily running order went online today for Cork's wonderful music festival happening over the June Bank Holiday.
