Cruising – ‘Safe Corridor’

Cruising, whose members are split between Dublin and Belfast and contain members of bands Sea Pinks, Logikparty, Girls Names & September Girls, are to release their debut EP on Tough Love Records on August 14th.

‘Safe Corridor’ is our first taste from the five-track EP, built on a razor-sharp bassline and sharper guitars with former Logikparty singer Benni Johnson providing the vocals.

The band’s name is inspired by the film of the same name by William Friedkin starring Al Pacino who spends his time going undercover in gay S&M clubs to hunt a killer.

The EP coming in August will be available on 100 hot pink vinyl 12″. it was recorded in Guerilla Studios in Dublin and and mixed at Start Together in Belfast.

Halloween song series #7: Logikparty – ‘Drop City’

A Halloween series special today with posts dedicated to music that creates an uneasy, spooky, chilling or scary atmosphere… See Halloween for all posts in the series.

On the more frenzied end of the spectrum, it’s a burst of pure maniacal killer malevolent energy courtesy of Logikparty. ‘Drop City’ is a pure creep and its synthesizer is pure carnie clamber. It’s taken from the band’s debut album Oh Cult!.

First Listen: Logikparty – Oh Cult!

Logikparty

A debut album is still a marker. Of experience, of thirst, of desire, of knowledge and of aspiration. Logikparty have three years of making music as four people together. Their live gigs to date have been visceral and gut-pounding, a heady spiky kraut-punk No Wave display. Assisted late last year in London by producer Alan O’ Connell aka Alalal (producer and engineer on records from Duran Duran to The Rapture to Maximo Park), the band recorded their first album Oh Cult! and their first big milestone.

The last ever Hideaway House gig

Hideaway / heathers

Last night, the last ever Hideaway House gig took place in Dean’s Grange, County Dublin. With proprietor Dylan Haskins moving out of the house, there was time for one more gig and the line-up was solid. Heathers, And So I Watch You From Afar, Find a Way, Logikparty and Jogging all played in the shed out the back of the house with the exception of Heathers who closed the night down by the bushes in the back garden with a set that featured a cover of Beyonce’s ‘Halo’.

The Gardaí turned up during a loud ASIWYFA gig (is there any other?) but didn’t put a halt to proceedings. The first Hideaway gig took place on October 15th 2006 the last one – May 25th 2010 with all of these acts having played over that time. Massive respect to Dylan for letting us all into his house over the last three and three-quarter years. Let’s hope the spirit of the place transfers to somewhere else (Exchange is a good start), or a new homemade social space soon.

Video and photos below (click to enlarge):

Heathers – ‘Waiter’ (live at Hideaway House) – available in HD.

Fionn Kidney has put together a nice video overview of the night.

Irish week: Skinny Wolves’ top 5 Irish acts right now

All this week, we’re having guest posts from various people involved in different strands of Irish music – record shop owners, writers, bloggers, promoters, radio presenters, bands and more, telling us what Irish bands or artists they are really into right now.

Skinny Wolves are a Dublin-based record label who you should know about. They’ve released records from Telepathe, Effie Brest, Cap Pas Cap, Indian Jewelry and have been ahead of the curve with their selection of touring bands from Xiu Xiu to Gang Gang Dance to Ariel Pink to Grouper.

The label have just released Patrick Kelleher’s Contact Sports 7″ and they have gigs upcoming from Former Ghosts, Parenthetical Girls, Lucky Dragons, Blessure Grave, These Are Powers and more.

1. Twinkranes

They’ve been very quiet since the release of their much acclaimed debut LP, Spektrumtheatresnakes, but now thanks to a line up change, they are back in the saddle with some new recordings and live shows being planned. With the songs on Spektrumtheatresnakes being kind of old by the time of its delayed release, the Kranes are bursting at the seams to get their new Psychik Pop Adventures out in the open.

Twinkranes – High Tekk Train Wreck
