If a joyously lo-fi, Monkees-style, sun-baked Dublin romp is your ‘bag’.

Lights DC – Leaving My Heart Behind

Ciaran Le Cool writes:

A video love letter to Dublin by Mark Duggan and Killian Broderick to accompany a new track by Lights DC. A scatter gun of all those Dublin images that you miss when you Leave Your Heart Behind.

It’s some debut, in fairness.

Dogs – Out In Cover (featuring Suzanne Purcell).

Described by Nialler9 as “atmospheric dance-leaning melodic indie.”

They write:

We’re an electronic four-piece based in Dublin and our debut EP ‘Out In Cover’ is out today on iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp etc. This video is for the title track. It’s directed, shot and edited by Aaron Goodliffe and was filmed in the Dublin mountains as well as on the roof of an apartment block somewhere in D1. We’re launching the EP tomorrow night, Saturday 27th, with a Midnight Hour gig upstairs @ Whelan’s [Camden Street]  with support from Elaine Mai. Details here

The Red Menace (2013)

A no-budget, five-minute, retro-CCCP, Co. Dublin-based short starring Kathy Rose O’Brien and Mark Cantan.

Directed by Sam O’Mahony.

But I can see that there’s something amazing beyond this town tonight,
And I’ll concede the eyes of this beholder are older not wiser tonight
When I was a boy I had just dreams and no fears
the sound of the city was music to my ears
the moon and the stars are reflections in your tears
and I am free tonight

I thought you might like this. It’s the new video from Dublin-based band Glimmermen. Shot in one take on a busy night in Temple Bar (Dublin). It’s taken from their forthcoming album I’m Dead. I dare you to watch the fight scene only once :)

Deady – Blurred Lines

Cork’s Brian Deady takes a Robin Thicke/Pharrell Williams track and adds a bit of Bobby McFerrin/kitchen utensil fun.

And it works.

Thanks Ciaran Le Cool

Should you appreciate deft acoustic work, percussive flamenco action and muscly tees.

Friday night in Ireland for some.

Bromance, joyous binging, and the old ‘tie bandana’.
