Review: Fear Stalks The Land!, Flying With The Riddler Single Launch – The Stack Theatre, Cork School of Music, 03.05.13
Words: John O’Duffy Photos: Fiachra Muller Fear Stalks The Land!’s disposition to all things unconventional becomes quite obvious before a single note is played and the audience members have yet to take their seats; gone are the black shirt-and-slacks clad musicians that concert-goers are accustomed to seeing in the Stack Theatre and in their stead...
Review: Mountains – The Black Mariah, Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, 08.05.13
We’ve got a full house tonight at The Black Mariah as Plugd Records and Fractured Air pull out all the stops with the mighty Mountains.

Sundernix – Sundernix
It’s good for the soul to look outside the news feed now and again. Curious band names aside, Sundernix is Liam Trappe, mostly, although he has enlisted quite a few friends to help on this album (Gavin Elsted of Adultrock fame, for example, plays drums on several tracks).

David Kitt and Margie Lewis – De Barra’s Folk Club, Clonakilty, 25.04.13
Australian-born Margie Lewis has been living in Ireland for 5 years. She has been involved in many bands, but this was a solo gig.
