Fight Like Apes on the other hand, I know a lot about. They are the best new band in Dublin by a country mile. They operate well outside an insular and suffocating scene that is as dry as a bowl of shreddies and full of non-descript groups of bitter little men who worship joy division, stab each other in the back on internet forums and are all probably weeping inside at the rocket-like trajectory of this colourful bunch's success.
Fight like apes are performing at the puzzlingly titled Hard Working Class Heroes festival in Tripod tomorrow night. Go see them. Its chaotic and crazy. Lead singer May Kay is a virtuoso screamer and microphone-shagger and Jamie is a hairy genius, his fur swinging everywhere as he thumps mammoth sheets of warped melody out of his synths. You won't be disappointed. And the song I include is brill but only provides a glimpse into how mental-asylum-er-ific they can be live.
MP3: FIGHT LIKE APES-Lend Me Your Face
Also, me girlfriend is curating the photo exhibition, and I'm dead proud of her. You can see her mega talents on display in and around the tripod complex all weekend. Go Loreana!!

You're writing hard today. That's a class tune. Hey, there's a guy called so cow i found on ians blog. He's irish and living in korea (that sparked my interest) but he sounds like a halo bender. Check out song moon geun young and it's epic guitar solo on myspace. Very loreana!
