GIGS Guillemots Frontman Fyfe Dangerfield sounds like he escaped form a 1940′s adventure series rvaling Biggles but he performs. After his band’s “Red” album he started working on his solo debut release called Fly Yellow Moon. He is a fast worker and recorded the ten tracks in five days in the Urchin Studios, London. Anyway, with the album recorded, the promotion tour starts and he plays the Speakeasy, Belfast in Saturday October 2nd and The Academy, Dublin on Sunday 3rd. In support of their False Priest album of Montreal are playing Tripod, Dublin on Sunday October 3rd. Of Montreal is an odd bird of a group, with their frontman Kevin Barnes showing up on the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba, in collaborations with Spike Jonze, on stage spanking pigs with Susan Sarandon, and even spontaneously performing six songs nude during a concert in Las Vegas.

It’s a place that a lot of people loathe. I can’t help but love it. I grew up with a lot of people who couldn’t wait to leave, and that was always strange to me. I feel a real connection to it. It’s in my blood.” He plays The Academy, Dublin on 22 September. Tickets. “Flamingo” is on the shelves now.

GIGS The Workman’s Club, at 10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2, welcomes Damien Dempsey, for a one off intimate club date on Wednesday 15 September to open the club. Support on the night will be from Eoin Glackin. Tickets Dundalk based Blind Pilots formed as a quartet of sixteen year old schoolboys with aspirations of making atmospheric indie-pop with a nostalgic tinge. Now they are 21 as comparatively auld fellas at the age of 21. They released their AA single (that’s Double A I think) in The Spirit Store, Dundalk, Co. Louth, on Saturday 28 August.
