I’ve been getting excited about this as it will be the first time I catch a live Boxcutter set.
Stasis Collective present Boxcutter in 4 Dame Lane on the 22nd of February. The set will consist of a live 3-Piece Band (Drummer / synths / sampler / guitar) booming on a €6,000 rig. Boxcutter, known to his ma as Barry Lynn is Ireland’s premium dubstep producer with recent album Glyphic seeing him extending his sound sonically with jazz and electronica influences apparent.
Support on the night comes from Ed Devane who was telling me about his home-made instrument over the weekend, Kachanski and Statis resident Patch. Visual support comes from Kavi [Stasis / Parastate999], Relict [Parastate999], John Lineen [Stasis] & Razz [Stasis].
Check out this Boxcutter BBC Radio 1 Experimental live session below and stream Sunday’s Lyric FM Nova Live Session on RTE.

More blurb on Statis Collective after the jump.
Statis Collective
Stasis is a Dublin-based artistic collective that was formed in September 2006. Its concepts are simple; a combined group effort both to produce and perform through various multimedia and to provide a platform upon which these ideas can develop, furthering each of its members and their work.
The collective also strives to promote and encourage the emergent art of VJing in Dublin alongside musical intentions consisting of quirky electronica, abstract techno and dubstep
Throughout the past year, Stasis have worked with MWB Promotions, Klitekture Records, Canaria Crea, Bodytonic and Dinners Ready Productions to name but a few and have already began promoting Irish music and visual art abroad, having played in Berlin in July and Barcelona during Sonar week.
The coming months will see the first release from [Stasis|Net], a free, web-based record label. For info on this, upcoming events and more, visit http://www.stasiscollective.com .

but will he be taking it out on the night…..
Savage!
Line up looks tasty. Boxcutter is one of the best dubstep producers out there imo… His stuff is so different to the rest of the bunch. Seen him live before but it was only him, his guitar and a laptop. Deadly anyway. Wonder what the live band show will be like? Not missing this one in any case…

“Ed Devane who was telling me about his home-made instrument

Yeah I can confirm that he will. Man its wierd watching him play that thing… At the mantrap release party he was using a knife sharpener like a bow and then feeding the sound through all these delay pedals! Never heard anything like it…
Ha ha snap! Well there you have it from the horse’s mouth.
ArrghH! I think this is the same night as Wobble (Distance, 2bit, A-Force)
Have seen/heard Boxcutter before but not in an age…
Looking forward to checkin out Ed Devane at the Scotch Egg gig next week too
jaysus just inchin into February and it’s loike diary dilemma all over again! what’s a gal to do!?
Ah yeah just seen that too!! Thats a head wrecker… Theres always nothing on and then loadsa different stuff on the same night…
Is Distance djing or playing live?? Think I’d be more into Boxcutter’s stuff anyway… and the live band thing would prob tip me over!

Just to let ye know, I am billed to play that gig but I took the opportunity to get my band to play instead. My reasoning for this is that there’s probably going to be a mixed crowd there, as it’s a GZ/!kaboogie split gig. The band is maybe but not definitely called “No gain, no pain” but that could change. Basically it’s NOT Ed Devane, though of course I will be playing.
So the band line-up is: a bassist, a percussionist (with a drum sampler and acoustic cymbals, plus noise from a keyboard), a cellist and vocalist who sometimes uses one of my guitars and myself on guitar and electronics. The sort of music we do is completely improvised and generally quite noisy and weird. Spread the word!
yo yo only caught the tail end of the Ed Devane & “No gain , no pain” stuff at Lower Deck …nice and noisy as promised – deadly set up … look forward to hearin more
we’ve finally decided that the name of the group is “John & Mary Trilogy”. There’s a video here of the gig:
