A superbly edited video for Mayokero by Roy Kafri, directed by Vanya Heymann, featuring animated ‘cameos’ by the album cover art of Dylan, The Smiths, The Beatles and others.
Of this feature length ‘Underline: The Practice Tapes’ session shot in the cavernous Guerrilla Studios, under a railway line in Dublin’s North Strand, Sean Treacy writes:
The Underline project seemed like a natural progression, to get three bands in with a small audience and capture them doing their thing. We’re hoping to produce engaging videos which will hopefully provide greater exposure to the variety of acts, both foreign and domestic, that are perhaps on the fringes of the more established music press and/or blog-o-sphere, and that we feel are deserving of a wider audience. The majority of these types of gigs etc. are circulated via word of mouth or by fairly insulated groups on the web so we’re really just trying to circumnavigate that and make it available to more people in the belief that there plenty of really interesting acts out there right now.
Bands featured: Ten Past Seven, Turning Down Sex and Crowhammer (track listings here)

The Bray, Co Wicklow native debuted at number 5 in the UK also this week.
Letterman, Ellen, Saturday Night Live, Taylor Swift, every little helps.
Fair play though, in fairness.

Happy to pay tribute tonight to guitarist Rory Gallagher on 40th anniversary of Irish Tour 1974. I attended one of those concerts – in Cork.

Ireland’s ambassador to Britain, Daniel Mulhall marked the 40th anniversary of Rory Gallagher’s Irish Tour ’74 at an event at the embassy in London last night.
In related news, Crowley’s Music Store which closed last year and where Rory bought his iconic Fender Stratocaster (above) has reopened as Crowley’s Musician Centre in the Oliver Plunkett Bar, Cork.
Ferrero play though, in fairness.

Like traditional Mongolian throat singers, the more classically trained Anna Maria Hefele can apparently sing two notes at the one time.
She gets righteously polyphonic around the 3.00 mark.
