Nanu Nanu – Unit One (Flaming June)
With a name that I’m guessing takes its origin from the late 70′s cult TV show Mork & Mindy, Nanu Nanu are a Dublin-based duo who label themselves as “Alien Pop”. They’ve got cool names too, GLITTERFACE (known to many as the wonderfully talented Laura Sheeran) takes on vocal duties, as her partner in crime...

Review: The Dudley Corporation w/ Jogging – Triskel TDC, Cork, 17.05.13
Photos: Rory Coomey http://www.flickr.com/photos/blindedvision/sets/ Full photoset here It has to be said, the TDC room of the Triskel Arts Centre is without doubt my favourite gig room in the city. There’s something about it that seems a bit more real than some of the other local venues. Maybe it’s the lack of stage rising, the...
Peter Delaney – Witch Bottle (Out on a Limb)
Peter Delaney is a Limerick singer and songwriter, but I wouldn’t call him a singer-songwriter. Witch bottle is his second album and you won’t hear anything like it in pop music this year.

Refraction – ‘Helixian’
Dublin’s Refraction are back with their second album following a two-year break since their accomplished eponymous release from early 2011. And it’s fucking class. Helixian is a rich and dynamic journey bristling with texture & life and blessed by an exquisite production. Made up of drums, twin harmonizing guitar, bass and coloured with samples and...
Review: The Altered Hours w/ The Northern Drones – The Pavilion, Cork, 11.05.13
Photos: Rory Coomey http://www.flickr.com/photos/blindedvision/sets/ Check Rory’s full photoset of the gig here At the risk of falling foul of cliché, The Altered Hours’ Sweet Jelly Roll EP launch at The Pavilion on Saturday was almost the definition of much-anticipated. The band hadn’t played a headline gig in Cork city since Christmas, and before that not...
