Our New Year’s resolution here in Culch Towers is to be more deadly. More deadly, you see, because we’re already a degree of deadly. (1% is still a percentage, friends.)
First on the list is to go to more gigs in 2012… so step up FirstFortnight you are all over our radar.
The 10-day festival (now in its third year, though it’s first time out as a 10-dayer) is a mental health-based arts festival full of live music, spoken word, theatre and film events. The organisers say they expect the first two weeks of January to become synonymous with mental health awareness and ending stigma and if dancing to Tieranniesaur is the way to do that, we’re all over it.
Kicking off tomorrow night in The Workman’s Club (say it with us now y’all: Culch is gay for The Workman’s) the first of the Therapy Sessions is just €5 and features Delorentos (they of the lotto numbers song), VerseChorusVerse, Mark Geary and Tieranniesaur (Here Be Monsters herself).
Also featuring RoySeven, The Late Fragments, We Cut Corners, La Galaxie, CashierNo9 and a bunch of other deadly stuff across the 10 days, the full line-up is here: www.firstfortnight.com
As Frasier Crane would (sort-of) say: Good FirstFortnight gang, and Good Mental Health.
Oh, and keep an eye out for the street art:
