Crackin'

Just found this poster for a show posted on Betsy Walton's blog. I really like the illustration so it gets my vote. I'd like to have made it but alas I'm not that good :(

Miaou

There are few positives to working weekend nights, however tonight was one of those nights when working for the man paid off nicely. Tonight saw Odessa Club play host to legendary night Ballroom of Romance and featured 4 crackin' bands with headliners Japanese foursome Miaou. Their music was described by a fellow musician as 'melodic instrumentals' and melodic it was...and instrumental...and fantastic. With my current penchant for swelling lyric-less numbers (I have Godspeed you! Black emperor's Lift your skinny fists... on constant repeat) Miaou were just the ticket! An uplifting gift for the ears on a dreary ould friday in work.



Their dedication is second to none: one of the bandmembers arrived in Dublin at 5pm this evening and flies back to Tokyo on Sunday, quite the trip for a 60-odd hour stay. They play the Oscillate festival in Belfast this weekend. Look them up cos they're so deadly i nearly wept...kindof.
