With all the fuss about Electric Picnic it’s easy to forget that the Fringe Festival has kicked off already. Tomorrow night (Thursday) sees Synth Eastwood take over the Spiegeltent from 10pm til 2am with a multi-speaker, multi-screen show featuring DJ Synth Eastwood himself and quadrophonic DJ sets by DJ Tu-Ki, Jaycee and Funboi. This will be accompanied by four screens of visuals from SE, Fergal Brennan, D.A.D.D.Y and more.
Ooh, and there’s a pre-show at 8pm in CHQ Georges Dock (beside the Spiegeltent) in which The Spatial Music Collective will be showcasing some of their most recent multichannel tape work. Rumour has it there’s a free Absolut Vodka drinks reception too. Tickets are €15 but I’ve got a plus one to give away thanks to Synth Eastwood.
All you gotta do is send an email to [email protected] with your name and email before 1pm Thursday.
If you’ve any other recommendations for the Fringe festival do pop them in the comments.
