Land Lovers – The Cinema Bell.

Part of the Popical massive.

They have become very talked about

Barry writes:

A selection of acts from the Popical Island collective are taking over The Stags Head Raw every Sunday upstairs in the Stag’s head, Dame Court, Dublin] for most of March.

Popical Island is a small, hard-working pop collective based in Dublin. Formed by the bands Land Lovers, Yeh Deadlies and Groom in 2010, and it also is home to some of Ireland’s most exciting pop bands, including Tieranniesaur, Squarehead and Pantone 247. They have released two compilations, Popical Island #1 and #2. These compilations introduced the world to many’s the poptastic upstart, like Rhino Magic, Goodly Thousands and Feed the Bears, while featuring gems from the catchiest indie tune-slingers from across the country – your So Cows and your Grand Pocket Orchestras. Popical Island has put out new releases by Yeh Deadlies, Groom, Tieranniesaur, Walpurgis Family, Big Monster Love and Jonny Fun and the …Hesitations.

Do we have to remember all of them?

Damn bewilderingly-named, Stag’s Head attic-squatting, popped-up hipsters.

Thomas Donoghue – Solace

Stag’s Head Raw at The Stag’s Head, Dame Court, Dublin – the cosy home of Irish music –  returns this Sunday with a session by white-dreaded minstrel Thomas Donoghue and his band.

Sez Raw’s Barry:

Thomas is an Irish songwriter from Kilkenny. He has played with many well known Irish acts, most recently for “Souls” (ex Kerbdog members). After making the decision to release solo material under his own name he spent the last year putting a hand picked group of musicians together to form The Thomas Donoghue Band which includes Ken Farrell (bass), Dan Pearson (drums) and Geoff Warner Clayton (piano).

 

Sunday 8pm. €8.

Barry writes:

This week it’s the Stags Head Raw Christmas Party and we are delighted to announce that playing will be Hidden Highways, Slow Skies, The Brand New Switcheroo and Norabelle. Being the time of year that’s in it, Norabelle have very generously offered a wee pressie of a copy of their very wonderful album, Wren, to the first 20 people through the doors. That’s in addition to the mince pies, mulled wine (at pre budget prices) and other festive fare.”
