Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , , on October 24, 2012 by Tickets There

Another congrats this morning thanks to Donal who filled us in on the Northern Ireland Molten Battle of the Bands semi-final. It’s been confirmed that Enniskillen locals, Gargantuan, have made it through the finals in London after picking up the top spot in Belfast last Friday.

Not a band TT has previously been familiar with bit a few spins in and they sound like pretty hard hitting death metal – expect a review in the near future. They join Dublin semi-finalists, Psykosis, and some other English bands who hope to compete in the grand final in London…… date TBC. Best of luck to both bands, TT will expect a first place finish for Psykosis and second for Gargantuan J

Congrats to Psykosis – Molten Metal Battle Finalists

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , on October 23, 2012 by Tickets There

Finding it unusually hard to find out what happened at the Dublin and Metal Molten Battle of the Bands Semi-Finals, but it appears Psykosis have triumphed in Dublin so Tickets There is sending out our congrats to the lads on a well-deserved place in the London Final. We know you’ll do us proud lads!

For those who don’t know, Psykosis are one of the most prolific thrash metal bands on the Dublin scene, easily tipping up there as one of the best in the country. Proper, full on riffs, tunes with fun, screaming and metal themes (like toxic fugitives and early morning terrors). They’ll be headlining the November Thrash metal Mania at The Pint so pop in and check them out along with the equally awesome Exzeltic.

Thrash Metal Mania @ The Pint, Nov. 9th

Posted in Gig Listing, IRISH NOISE!, Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , on October 23, 2012 by Tickets There

Now this is what Tickets There has been waiting for, Thrash Metal Mania is hitting the Pint next month with a line up so tasty…well, you wouldn’t want to cook it. That’s called cannibalism (*wink).

Psykosis, Exzeltic, Atominated and Damageflag head up a bill that’s going to make your ear drums bleed and liver rot. There’ll be brutal riffs, shredding vocals, pounding rhythm and, if there’s time, a solo or two.

Seriously though, all four bands are well worth catching. TT will be there for a little ‘Terror At 03:00am’ and ‘Agent of Chaos’! Doors are at 20:00 hrs, price is just €5 (if you don’t want to pay that then you’re a dirty cheap b*stard) and there’s drinks promotions! Pints start from €3.60, all spirits with a dash for  €5 and two cocktails for €10. Cheaper than Saorview, more fun than the couch – get yer ass out and see some quality Irish metal \,,/

The Riptide Movement – Still Keepin’ On

Posted in General Tickets There Blog, Gig Listing, IRISH NOISE!, Music, Music Video, New Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on October 22, 2012 by Tickets There

Dear bands everywhere – this is how it’s done!

The Riptide Movement are a band familiar to us all and well they should be. Along with a limited number of names (not starting any wars here), TRM are the epitome of hard work, performance and energy. They are a credit to the Irish music scene and spend every second they can promoting their band, making themselves sharper, song writing, rehearing, exploring new avenues of self-promotion, making videos and constantly pushing themselves higher and higher up the chain. When they do a tour, it’s not two shows, its thirty.  If they don’t have a gig – they busk. When they’re not busking they’re working behind the scenes – constantly and that work is now paying off.

The band are currently in India representing Ireland at the Rendezvous festival in New Delhi, which they’re capturing for Hot Press as their 2012 ‘Most Unusual Gig of the Year’ spot. When they get back, they start the task of promoting new single, ‘Without You’ from their second album, Keep On Keepin’ On that came out earlier this year. The promotion tour will take them around Ireland (including headlining shows at The Olympia, Roisin Dubh, The Forum and Dolan’s Warehouse) before they jet off to Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Prague, Vienna and Amsterdam.  Irish dates can be found below and you can expect to see a review of their new single…..very soon.

Oct. 27th – The Slate, Cork.

Nov. 2nd – The Roisin Dubh, Galway

Nov. 10th – The Olympia, Dublin *Almost Sold-Out

Nov. 17th – The Forum, Waterford

Nov. 24th – Dolans Warehouse, Limerick

Nov. 30th – The Palace, Navan

Congrats to the Riptide and please – Keep on setting the bar for others. If all bands worked as hard as you, there’d be a lot less X-Factor in the world.

The first single from his new band (ADLER) was previewed to the world a few months back and if it’s any indication of things to come, we might actually have a real rock band to get excited about.
