Here we are. The end of the sixth year of the Nialler9 poll. Thank you all once again for voting. We had about 100 or so votes that made up the results in songs , new artists, EPs and now, the big one - albums. Our ultimate winner has topped the poll before that doesn't negate the indisputable fact that there's plenty of superb Irish music contained within this list... 25. The Ambience Affair - Burials 24. LaFaro - Easy Meat [...]
This is really cool. Squarehead and Patrick Kelleher got together to release a double A-side single. I got slightly confused trying to explain the idea behind it, but Harmless Noise says what I couldn't. 'Attention To Detail' is Squarehead taking on a Kelleher-type recording and 'Just A Tragedy' is Kelleher [Read more]
Another goodie from the Popical Island label sees the light of day this weekend with the release of a a collaborative double A-side from Squarehead and Patrick Kelleher.

Squarehead and Patrick Kelleher reconvene for an episode of the fake behind-the-music documentary series Class Albums to discuss the recording process of their 2011 split 73 - 'Just a Tragedy/Attention to Detail'. Choice quote (there are many): "If I had to compare my bass tone to an animal it would be some sort of exotic cat." "We were the first Irish artist to use the word "breast" in a song. Of course, this was 2011 so it caused a lot of controversy at the time." "I've got [...]
Patrick Kelleher and His Cold Dead Hands is an Irish band centered around - who'd guess - Patrick Kelleher. Some of His Cold Dead Hands have projects of their own, such as Catscars and School Tour . Their sound is usually described as "ghost disco" - think Ariel Pink playing synth pop, or something like that. Their latest album Golden Syrup is out now on Osaka Records . Seen Me Blue Contact Sports Patrick Kelleher and His Cold Dead [...]
Patrick Kelleher And His Cold Dead Hands - Golden Syrup By Stef Siepel After their debut in 2009, and a remix album that came on the back of that in 2010, Patrick Kelleher & His Cold Dead Hands are back for another round of ghostliness (and you only have to look at the band name for that). Their new album is called Golden Syrup , and over the span of ten tracks the band will try to lure the listener into the more shadowy corners of the [...]

It takes a few listens to 'get' Patrick Kelleher And His Cold Dead Hands album Golden Syrup. I did thoroughly enjoy it though. And then, once you get it, thoughts turn to what other people will make of it and what the live show is like. With the video for [Read more]
Dan Deacon's return to Dublin is cause for excitement in itself but with the quality supporting line-up of local talent sure keep him on his toes, it's even more so. The Baltimore musician is renowned for his live shows, which are communal, participatory affairs held together by his madcap ringleader act - in the past he's employed a 14-piece ensemble as well as helming a novel 'round robin' tour with No Age and Deerhunter. First up tonight are newcomers Last Days Of 1984 . The duo have labelled their music as 'beach house', this may be tongue-in-cheek but gives you [...]
Dan Deacon crowd - Button Factory by Gareth Sharkey [...]
Every generation gets the carcinogenic sweet it deserves. Back in my day, we faced the great stinger plague. A wave of cancer that culled hundreds, nay thousands, of unwary nine-year-olds who dared eat more than seven stingers in one sitting. Though nobody ever died in Kells schools, news of the stinger plague reached us through the little-break grapevine. There was the friend of someone's third cousin in Mullingar who not only developed stinger cancer but whose stomach fell out of his arse from eating orange peels; the gimpy-legged boy from Ardee whose stinger cancer spread to his mickey; and finally [...]

Composing, arranging and recording the DAN DEACON ENSEMBLE album Finishing the video/music collaboration with Jimmy Joe Roche titled 'Hilvarenbeek' [...]
Patrick Kelleher 's 2009 debut You Look Cold may have been a universally-acclaimed release, but it was clear from the restless, experimental vibe of the album that the Dublin-based musician would be unlikely to repeat himself second time around. Last year's 'Contact Sports' 73 on Skinny Wolves gave a clear indication of where he was taking things: sleeker than what came before, it nonetheless retained an unmistakeable edge: weird, murky and spooked-sounding, the song (included here) wore its '80s synth influences on its sleeve but sounded utterly fresh and forward-looking at the same time. The accompanying promo video, meanwhile, [...]
In April, we got the chance to hear the first new bit of material from Patrick Kelleher & His Cold Dead Hands in the form of the "whacked-out ghost disco" of 'Miracle Candle' . That song and recent live sets suggested Kelleher was moving his sound on further and for extra evidence may I submit 'Too Many Harsh Words', the second song from the Golden Syrup , the forthcoming album out on July 15th through Osaka . 'Too Many Harsh Words' is indicative of Golden Syrup , a kraut-disco groove with [...]
I was going to put something really self-congratulatory as the headline but I don't really need to do much than to tell you that this post has three, very good (great, if you will) contained below. All three have been played loads for the past few days. All three will [Read more]
Taken from Patrick Kelleher's forthcoming album Golden Syrup due June 18th through Osaka Records comes this whacked-out "ghost disco" tune with a rather amazing guitar solo. Patrick Kelleher and his Cold Dead Hands - Miracle Candle I pointed you to his Niamh Kavanagh cover recently...
