EXODUS – War Is My Sheppard
Posted in General Tickets There Blog, Music with tags Exodus, Exodus War is my Sheppard, war is my sheppard, War is my sheppard video on March 28, 2010 by Tickets ThereReview: Lluther – Live @ The Button Factory (March 27th, 2010)
Posted in Gig Review, IRISH NOISE!, Music with tags Gerry Owens, Lluther, Lluther button factory, Lluther Dublin, Lluther Femme fatale, Lluther King of Nothing, Lluther Rise of the Reptile King on March 28, 2010 by Tickets There
As a seasoned Irish gig goer, you become used to the majority of shows consisting of bands dressed in hoodies and converse, standing around muttering and acting very self-conscious and shy. The quality of music differs on the band of course but Tickets There, and people in general find a band more believable when they can perform their songs with confidence and tonight’s show by Dublin Industrial / Hard Rock five piece Lluther oozes confidence.
Tonight the bands here to film video’s for their new album, Rise of the Reptile King and treat fans to a performance of the full record. After an enjoyable warm up from the The Dublin Burlesque Cabaret & Social Club, Lluther explode on stage with the fiery hard rock Femme Fatale. The bands stage presence and setup is dauntingly impressive to say the least and each member performs their part with precision and perfect delivery.
Not being a huge expert on the bands first album or much of the newer material (latter of which you can’t hold against us, no-one knows the new stuff – Ed), Tickets There have to rely on the bands showmanship to help us enjoy the night and they don’t disappoint. Singles such as In The Dollhouse, Enough and King of Nothing are delivered with the same energy, power and slickness as the recordings but the bands live presence bring the songs to life in a way records can rarely capture.
Until She Comes & Rise of the Reptile King offer further highlights to the night, despite Gerry’s guitar cutting out during the latter, and a guest appearance from Moth Complex’s Aoife O’ Leary comes as a welcome treat before the band close the main set. Off course, curfew or no curfew, there’s no way the band would leave their fans hanging and they return to preform four or five tracks from the debut, Agents of Empire. An album Tickets There isn’t currently familiar with but after this show, that’s about to change.
Despite a small turn out for a gig of this size, it seems Lluther are on the right course to conquer the world of hard rock in the near future. Next time they play Dublin, you can be guaranteed people will have caught on.
Ash – War With Me (Single Review)
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, Single Review with tags Ash, ash a - z singles, Ash a-z series, Ash War With Me, War with me review, war with me reviews on March 28, 2010 by Tickets There
Single M, War With Me marks the half way point in Ash’s colossal A – Z Single series and what an achievements it’s become. The songs so far have displayed some of Ash’s most lovable traits, some of their finest pop / rock moments and a grandness rarely seen in their previous material. We’re once again delighted to report that today’s release continues this fine line of quality, enjoyment and few frills pop rock.
War With Me is a simple slice of the bands irresistibly catchy gift for pop. Built predominantly around a heavy Piano, the song is a laid back, lighter than most little number. Short, sweet and loveable. Since we’re half way there, why don’t you just check the video below and hear it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Cathy Davey – Little Red (Single Review)
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, Single Review with tags Cathy Davey, Cathy Davey Little Red, Cathy Davey Little Red Review, Cathy Davey Little Red reviews, Cathy Davey MySpace on March 27, 2010 by Tickets There
Tickets There has always had a special fondness for the one and only Miss. Cathy Davey. She’s got a lovely, irresistible charm that comes through so much in her writing and despite it being a lot softer and, in some places, sillier than we’d normally like, we just can’t stop finding her appealing.
So, when she releases a song that sounds like a mesh of The Breeders meets The Temptations at Christmas time, Tickets There will still praise it and it doesn’t take long to realize our support ain’t just out of loyalty.
Little Red is a quirky, loveable little song with some cutely clever lyrics, some surprisingly un-annoying high pitch notes and a sound that in places is very reminiscent of an eighties pop number (any song, we’re not accusing no-one of nothin’).
It’s hardly Sgt. Peppers so we’ll cut the review there but its well worth checking out. Clean, wholesome, loveable catchy pop from one of Ireland’s most charming personalities.

The Redneck Manifesto – Friendship (Album Review)
Posted in Album Review, IRISH NOISE!, Music with tags Friendship reviews, The Redneck Manifesto, the redneck manifesto dublin, The redneck manifesto frendship tracks, The Redneck Manifesto Friendship, The Redneck manifesto Friendship review on March 26, 2010 by Tickets There
Instrumental fans prepare for lift off, The Redneck Manifesto have returned with an album so funked up you’ll be drooling over it for many weeks and months to come. After being announced in late 2008, the band has finally released their first LP since 2004’s I Am Brazil and it’s been more than worth the wait.
Opening with the ambient Black Apple, the album boasts the bands trademark quirky guitars, well built melodies and an overall flow any band would kill for. You’d happily sit back, click this on and never guess it was divided into ten separate tracks. There’s an array of different styles to give each song its own unique hook and appeal. Tracks like Smile More and Click display some heavier techno styles, Little Noise, Drum Drum and Weird Waters delve into the grand old world of funk. The bass lines on Little Noise and Weird Waters are especially tasty and show Richie Egan hasn’t been ignoring his original calling.
Shorter tracks like Tomb of The Dude, Hex , the odd, almost confusingly relaxing Cloud Break and the stand out Rubber Up (Not just a title) finish things off and leave you with a sense that paying money for this album is one of the best things you’ll do this year.
Catch the Rednecks when they play Dublin’s Tripod tomorrow night. Tickets on sale now priced €16.00 and available from ticketmaster.ie
To hear the album for yourself, visit the Irish Times, where it’s currnelty being streamed.

Lluther – Song Previews On Hold & Dublin Show This Weekend!
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, News with tags Lluther, Lluther Dublin gig, Lluther Femme fatale, Lluther King of Nothing, Lluther Rise of the Reptile King, Lluther the button factory, Lluther tour, rise of the reptile king on March 24, 2010 by Tickets There
In a surprise and very suspicious move. Lluther have announced that previews from their second album, Rise of The Reptile King are on hold until further notice.
The group, who’ve already released four of the albums tracks made the announcement last week on their MySpace giving no explanation for the sudden change in plans. So far, four tracks have been released for download (In The Dollhouse, King of Nothing, Rise of The Reptile King & Femme Fatale)
Now, Tickets There is no expert (we are, but this is us connecting with you folks), but we suspect some record company have heard how kick ass the material is and decided to give the band a record deal. Of course this is pure speculation but that’s what we’re gathering from the following official statement,
“I cant tell you why…..& I cant even tell you why I cant tell you why :), but all will be revealed in time 😉
Things are afoot………….”
The band are set to play the full album for the first time live, at their forthcoming gig in Dublin’s, The Button Factory this Saturday (March 27th). Tickets are available from the door or www.tickets.ie (€13.50 – €2 discount if you present a flyer on the night)
As soon as we have news of the mysterious stoppage, we’ll tell ye. Visit Lluther’s Official Site to hear the tracks released so far.

Review: Ash – Live @ Andrews Lane Theatre, Dublin (March 20th, 2010)
Posted in Gig Review, IRISH NOISE!, Music with tags Andrews Lane Theatre, Ash, Ash 7up gig, Ash 7upfree, Ash Andres Lane Theatre, Ash Dublin, Ash Dublin gig, Ash Republic of Loose gig on March 22, 2010 by Tickets There
Always a dodgy things these free, invite only promo gigs. It’s either going to be a small room, located in a budding, hip – fashion friendly district of town with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin jamming in the corner while people look elsewhere, laughing prolifically and sipping champagne. Or, they can be like tonight’s RU7up4It home coming for the winners of the Bring Them Back For The Craic campaign, with Downpatrick legends Ash and local Dublin soul, funk, pop consortium, Republic of Loose, leading festivities. A good night had by all.. to say the least!
Andres Lane Theatre isn’t a venue we have a whole pile of experience with but, being greeted by tall young models tonight is surely going to remain one of our fondest memories. Unfortunately the experience was memorizing enough to completely distract us from Republic of Looses’ efforts on stage, but from what we gathered, they did a pretty good job. They certainly had everyone else in top form anyways. (not very professional to write things like that lads, at least lie – Ed)
Tickets There has dedicated a lot of space to pop / rock legends Ash recently and tonight’s gig proves this hasn’t been in vain. The trio burst straight into Lose Control with the same adrenaline and youthful exuberance that made them so fun in the first place. They follow up with a cover of The Undertones, Teenage Kicks before kicking into a blistering version of TT’s personal favorite, A Life Less Ordinary. Not running out of steam early, the band deliver a hard hitting greatest hits set that see’s them visit almost every album in their catalogue (Nu-Clear Sounds being the exception).
Not to be upstaged by their past, the band play several tracks from their current A-Z singles which fit perfectly amongst the new material, so much so that the classic Girl From Mars falls pale in the face of the techno stomping Return of White Rabbit, which closes the show.
Amidst the chants for ‘One More Tune’, Tim returns to the stage, cheekily apologizing that unfortunately the band are prepared to play three more tracks and hopes we’ll be appeased. Single C of the A-Z series, Arcadia explodes through the PA, rejuvenating the now tired crowd before a cover of Thin Lizzy’s Whiskey In The Jar, with ROL’s Mick Pyro on vocals, brings the house down. Tim, grinning as always, announces how wonderful it is to “visit Dublin to cover a Metallica song”, before the band launch into a set closing, Burn Baby Burn and leave the stage as conquering heroes.

Oliver Cole – Oh My Girl (Single Review)
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, Single Review with tags Oh My Girl review, Oh My Girl reviews, Oliver Cole, Oliver Cole We Albatri, Ollie Cole, Ollie Cole Oh My Girl, We Albatri album, What Will You Do?. Turn on March 19, 2010 by Tickets There
Legendary X-Turn front man, Oliver Cole is about to drop his Ex-Turn prefix with the release of his very own debut solo album, We Albatri next week. The LP was recorded in Germany and Dublin over the last couple of years and from what we’ve heard so far, it’s looking like a strong contender for Irish album of the year.
Today see’s the second single from the album, Oh My Girl getting its official release on 7Digital.com and it’s well worth a listen.
Unlike the start / stop choppiness and general strangeness of the album’s first single, What Will You Do?, Oh My Girl is a much more straight forward slice of acoustic styled pop. The chorus is catchy, there’s some lovely harmonies and the song flows so well you’d swear it was a river (weird comparison but, it’s your blog…freaks – Ed).
