Ropemaker – playing Galway with Hope is Noise and The Magnapinna
What you may need to know…
01. Math-rock three-piece Ropemaker hail from the alternative-music capital of Ireland, Portarlington, Co. Laois.
02. Having gigged sporadically the last few years, they’ve already shared stages with Steve Strong, the dearly-departed Terriers (the real ones, not the Dublin-based pretenders), ZINC and others.
03. Streaming above is the band’s 2015 extended-player, Abyssinia, available for download via the band’s Bandcamp.
04. Catch them live next at the Roisín Dubh on the 19th, in support of FEAST’s Cork takeover of the Roisín Dubh, featuring Hope is Noise and The Magnapinna.
Verdict: Swaggering, striding math-rock in a Battles or Alpha Male Tea Party vein. Grand.

Canadian artist Annette Labedski takes a break from abstract figurative painting to create pigment mixing videos, some of which (as above) use symmetrical mirroring, obscuring the palette knife to strangely mesmeric effect.

Louis Berry – Restless
Finn Keenan writes:
Here’s my new music video for Liverpool lad Louis Berry. With this video I wanted to do a surreal take on all the worries and distractions that prevent us from achieving a certain goal. I wanted to make something that was specific to Louis but also something anyone with a restless mind could relate to.
All shot in Cavan Town Hall, with endless help from Cavan locals! :)
In fairness.

Garda Commissioner Noirin O’Sullivan at Garda HQ, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2 last night
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Assistant Garda Commissioner Michael O’Sullivan said: “We had a contingency plan yesterday, which we suspended at 7am this morning, in which we had a particular deployment of personnel throughout the country, and at no stage did martial law appear in the plan at all, nor was it necessary.”
He said he did not want to discuss the negotiations with the various associations as the process is still ongoing, but he welcomed last night’s developments.
“I simply want to reassure the public that the Garda was there yesterday, there today and will be there tomorrow to protect the communities,” he added.
Right so.
Martial law was never in strike contingency plan, says Assistant Commissioner (RTÉ)

I’m starting to wonder if anyone in Dublin got a ticket for #Radiohead that isn’t a tout or a bot. What’s going on #ticketmaster?

There you go now.
Meanwhile…
But if Radiohead have their way, those touts will be ticketless this Friday. For the Dublin show, the name of the purchaser will be on each ticket and his/her photo identification will be checked at the entrance to the venue to make sure it matches the name on the ticket.
