Le Galaxie – All night Album Launch Party! (June 17th @ The Workman’s)

Posted in Gig Listing, IRISH NOISE!, Music, News with tags , , , , , , on June 3, 2011 by Tickets There

In the words of Le Galaxie fans everywhere, about time!! Their debut album, Laserdisc Nights 2 is out and it’s incredible! If you, like ourselves, have been waiting patiently for a release from the lads for the past few years – prepare to be satisfied. And if the album itself isn’t enough to qualm your woes, a five and half hour release party should really do the trick.

June 17th the band will officially launch the album at Dublin’s Workman’s Club. It’ll only cost you €6 on the door or €10 with a copy of the album included (let’s go over that again – €10 for 5.5 hours of live music / DJ’s and drinks plus a copy of the band’s album. Is that good value or what???)

Support on the night comes from Kid Karate and The Electric Foxx with DJ sets from Adultrock, NoiseinOurHead, Last Days of 1984 and Let’s Fighting Love. Be there or ….miss out!

Le Galaxie: All night Album Launch Party!

The Workman’s Club 17.06.11

09.00pm – 02.30am - Admission €6 (€10 with a copy of the album)

Into The Void Records: Fundraiser Announced (Updated – NEW DATE)

Posted in Gig Listing, Music, News with tags , , , , , , on May 30, 2011 by Tickets There

Metal fans of Dublin (and Ireland for those who can travel), your independent record store needs you. Into the Void Records (3 Whitefriar Place, Dublin) are holding a fund-raiser on July 16th @ The Pint to, well presumably, help beat the auld recession effects away from their door.

SICKENER and COLDWARare the only band announced so far. More TBC: July 16th, The Pint, Dublin! FREE ADMISSION!!

Into the Void opened earlier this year after well known Sentintal Records in Temple Bar closed its doors last June. The shop is run by a number of independent labels including Sentintal themselves and remains one of Dublin’s only heavy metal / punk dedicated stories. They sell CD’s, Vinyl, patches and there’s even a tattoo studio out back. Hop, skip from Stephen’s Green. Staff are sound and there’s always a nice contingent of the Dublin metal brigade about the place.

Follow their Official Facebook Page for more details.

Here at Tickets There, the world’s greatest music blog of all time, we believe in credit where credit’s due and Liam Gallagher so far deserves all the credit you can give him. He broke up Oasis (basically) and set out on a path to form an ever better band. Whether or not you believe he’s accomplished this (and we’ll know more next month when the album comes out), you have to give it to the man that so far he’s been doing  bang up job with Beady Eye.

Today, Beady Eye has announced their very first shows on Irish soil with two dates in Dublin’s Olympia on April 14th and 15th with a Northern gig in Belfast’s Ulster Hall on April 17th.

The buzz around the lads grows every day and things are looking good for next months debut release, Different Gear, Still Speeding.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 28th priced at €36.60 for Dublin and £30 in Belfast (plus booking fee. MCD Promotions running the gig / Ticketmaster.ie for tickets).

IRISH NOISE! The Danger Is – All For Gold (MySpace Review)

Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, MySpace Review with tags , , , , on September 21, 2010 by Tickets There

Finding info on The Danger Is, is one of the toughest things we’ve had to do here at Tickets There. But after an amazing show from the lovely Niamh Danger and her band at last week’s Temple House Music Festival, we just had to write something about them.  There’s only one song on their MySpace at the moment but fortunately it’s a little Gem.

All For Gold is a beauty of a song. Fast, energetic, friendly, warm and completely irresistible. Niamh’s voice oozes with soothing character and talent, all nicely wrapped in a very well written basket of heaviness, calm and slight hints of fifties ballad pop. There’s several different landing spots in the songs structure which make the song fill out it’s time extremely well. If we write any more we’ll end waffling.

Excellent song and a band that is shooting higher and higher up the Tickets There Likes list. Check them out for yourself by Clicking Here (The Danger Is MySpace), come back and pat us on the back for giving you a lovely treat today*

* Unless by some small chance you find things for yourself on the internet and heard this song and the band 1,500 times before. Seen them so many times you can play their set on guitar without ever having a lesson and you’re almost engaged to Niamh herself. Then there’s no need to pat us…ah well.

The Danger Is Play The Workman’s Club with Oliver Cole on October 23rd.

ROAD RECORDS: Farewell Party Tomorrow Night!

Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on September 9, 2010 by Tickets There

Road Records may be gone but you didn’t think they’d leave without one final shindig did you? Tomorrow night, the Button factory opens up for a gig that looks better by the minute (off course it had to be held when Tickets There is away at our first festival in 5/6 years and off course it has to include two of our favorite Irish bands of all time!).

Leading proceedings will be Dublin’s much loved, The Redneck Manifesto. The instrumental band will tear the place apart if there’s anything left after legendary post punk, garage rock thrashers Female Hercules reform to kick some serious record buying public ass!

Also set to perform are Legion of Two, Patrick Kelleher and His Cold Dead Hands, Cian Nugent and Road Records gurus Dave & Julie may even take to stage to belt out a few classic tunes to finish things off in proper Road fashion.

If you’re in town and you regret (like us) not getting a chance to pop in before the shutters were officially closed, then head along and show you’re gratitude for their years of excellent service and craic. Tickets are a measly €16 so no excuses! (Rednecks and Female Hercules for god’s sake!!!)

Tickets There would like to wish Dave and Julie the best of luck tomorrow night; I hope ye have a blast!

Guns N’ Roses – Dublin, O2: One Month And Counting & Support Announced

Posted in General Tickets There Blog, Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2010 by Tickets There

This time next month folks, the mighty Axl Rose will be bringing the ferocious, legendary Guns N’ Roses to Irish shows for two massive shows in Belfast’s Odyssey Arena August 31st and Dublin’s Point Depot (or the O2 is you will) on Sept. 1st for two nights of blistering hard rock, ginormous ballads and displays of fine musical craftsmanship from each member of the band. It’s also been announced that Canadian rockers (hate that work in that context) Danko Jones will be providing support for both shows. No Sebastian Back unfortunately but these guys will rock the place.

Now, there’s alot of bickering about Axl and the new guys (incidentally, some of the members have been with the band since the early/late nineties…so they’re not that new) and it’s time everyone moved on. The majority of music press outlets have a vendetta against Axl because unlike Slash and Duff, Axl chooses not to talk to them and become their play thing. Also, many ‘old GN’R heads’ hate Chinese Democracy simply because Slash isn’t there and it’s not a carbon reproduction of Appetite for Destruction. Many forget that the old diehards complained just as much when the Use Your Illusions came out, but that’s neither here nor there.

Don’t be fooled folks, this right here is two incredible opportunities to see one of rock n’ rolls true heroes live in the flesh. Not only is he a legend, but he’s a legend at the top of his game as Chinese Democracy is one the greatest albums released in the last ten years, you just have to forget the old sound and appreciate it for what it is. When any other band tries a new direction these days they’re praised far and wide for being different but when a rock band does it, all hell breaks loose. Does Axl care? Not one fucking bit, the man does what ever the hell he likes and that’s why we love him. Finally there’s a rock n roll front-man in the 21st century who’s not afraid of criticism and attacks from former band members, fans, record companies, the industry or the press. He does what he likes, when he likes and if you don’t like it – Fuck Off!

Young bands, young fans stand up and take notice, this is rock n roll in bodily form. Go to these shows and see the man in real life, pay homage and respect because rock stars are no longer a dime a dozen and even if they were, Axl would still lead the pack.

Guns N Roses play Dublin’s O2 This day next month, September 1st – Tickets There will be there.
